Welcome to The Turn - a Podcast hosted by Kory Mitchell

This isn't another podcast obsessing over multiples and deal structure. The Turn features blue-collar founders who've built, scaled, and sold real businesses—HVAC, landscaping, pest control, construction. The pivots they didn't see coming. The hard calls that defined them. And what happened after the deal closed. Because the exit isn't the end of the story. It's just another turn. Kory's been there himself—built businesses, sold them, and learned the hard way what no one tells you before or after the deal. Here you'll find full episodes with founders who've exited, short clips on the lessons that stuck, and honest conversations about identity, growth, and what comes next.
