Storytime with Ryan
What is the Profit War Room?
Who's in the Room
Three experts.
Each one brings something specific to this workshop.
Ryan Tansom
Ryan built and sold a $21M business, then spent a decade figuring out what he'd do differently. 480+ podcast episodes interviewing owners, operators, and advisors. He built the iBD Ownership OS™ — the ownership framework behind this workshop — and designed the 5‒year financial model with Pat. Ryan facilitates both days and walks you through the model step by step.
Kim Clark
Kim helps owner‒operators build predictable revenue engines that actually scale without the founder. She works with leadership teams to move beyond fragmented marketing and sales activity into a unified operating model with real economics underneath it. Kim co‒hosts both days and leads the Day 2 revenue breakout — if your biggest constraint is on the top line, she's your room.
Alex Chausovksy
Alex is a trusted advisor for business owners and executives in both private and public firms, as well as industry trade associations. He provides insights on analytical, economic, geopolitical, and business topics. With over two decades of experience, he is a highly skilled market researcher and analyst across various industries, including automation, industrial technology, healthcare, business services, and manufacturing.
Build a Business That Gives You Options
Everything in this workshop (input costs, the margin analysis, the communication plan) is pointed at one outcome: getting your business to the point where it gives you freedom of time and money, whether you scale, step back, or sell. We call it Independence Escape Velocity™.
The workshop is where you start protecting your margins and your future.
Space to Think.
A Plan When You Leave.
Most workshops hand you ideas and add to your to-do list. This one gives you something rare: protected time to actually think about your business, with experts guiding you through every step.
You won't be asked to share your financials with anyone.
Come with a rough sense of your current revenue, input costs, and margins. That's it. We'll do the rest together.

"I came to understand our ownership KPIs"
Joan's family business is second-generation transitioning to third. She came looking for the KPIs they should be paying attention to and the things they hadn't thought about yet. She left with a load of notes and said she'd send the other partners so they're all on the same page.

"Finally, clarity on where my future is headed"
Jimmy came in running day-to-day without clarity on what the future looked like. The workshop helped him tie revenue, profit, and cash flow together into one picture, then back into what his business needs to accomplish so he can decide where to spend his time and what to hire for next.

"It's all about the choices"
Dave's takeaway: the workshop shows you the next steps to position your company to have choices. Good financials, good advisors, and a clear view of what's in front of you. "It's all about the choices you can see in front of you. And if you have good financials and a good group of people advising you, you'll get there quicker."
Dave Hoeffel
Owner of Endurance Technologies

Limited access to our upcoming Workshop
Your input costs aren't waiting for your next quarterly meeting. Every month without a plan is another month your margins quietly erode, and by the time you notice, you're six months behind, scrambling to explain to your team and your customers why everything's changing at once.
The Profit War Room gives you three hours to get ahead of it. Show up, build the plan, and leave ready to protect what you've built.
