  • Why Every Founder Needs a CFO (Even a Part-Time One)
    May 21 2025
    Are you confusing bookkeeping with business strategy? In this episode, Matt and Luigi sit down with Salvatore Tirabassi, Managing Director of CFO Pro Analytics, to break down why most business owners are stuck in the past when it comes to CFO support. They unpack the real job of a CFO (spoiler: it’s not just balancing the books) and how fractional CFO services can radically improve financial modeling, raise capital, and get your business ready for whatever’s next. From equity vs. debt to AI tools that save you hours, Sal drops real-world knowledge from decades in the trenches as a VC and CFO. You’ll also hear wild (and painfully relatable) stories from family-owned businesses navigating tariffs, lenders, and internal power shifts. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why the real CFO role goes far beyond bookkeeping What it means to create a “single source of truth” in your business Why being “due diligence ready” is non-negotiable for growth How to handle lender decks and pitch decks like a pro The pros and cons of debt vs. equity—and how to choose the right path How AI tools like Claude are quietly changing the game Favorite Quote: “I would want to show a lender a projection that includes the capital — and here’s what the business looks like with the money.” About the Guest: Salvatore Tirabasi is the founder and Managing Director of CFO Pro Analytics. With a background in venture capital and private equity, he brings high-level financial strategy to small and mid-sized businesses, delivering enterprise-grade CFO support at a fraction of the cost.

  • He Built the World’s Most Popular Weighted Blanket—Then Sold It for $50M
    May 14 2025

    Ever sold your dog for a fat check and got a standing ovation for it?

    That’s how Aaron Spivak describes selling the company he built from scratch into a $50M powerhouse.

    In this episode of The Liquid Lunch Project, Matt and Luigi sit down with Aaron, the DJ-turned-juice-slinger-turned-weighted-blanket-mogul, to unpack how grit, delusion, and one viral Kickstarter helped him build Hush, one of the top DTC brands in Canada.

    He dives into the real emotional cost of selling a business, why customer conversations are his secret weapon, and how Founders Club is helping entrepreneurs get real support.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    • The stroke that changed everything…and how a side hustle became a lifeline

    • Why Aaron still DJed after hitting $25M in revenue

    • The secret power of calling every single customer (yes, really)

    • How to turn a blanket into a movement (and a $50M exit)

    • What Dragon’s Den taught him about performance, not pitching

    • The real emotional chaos of selling your “business baby”

    • Why Founders Club isn’t another BS mastermind — and who it’s really for

    Who is Aaron?
    Aaron Spivak is a serial entrepreneur who co-founded Revita, Hush Blankets, and most recently Founders Club, a global community for high-growth founders. From DJing bar mitzvahs to delivering mattresses in his Audi, Aaron’s story is anything but typical.
