This week’s deal is a $5 million ski resort in the remote Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming, complete with a 20,000 sq ft lodge, 35 ski trails, 15 cabins, an RV park, and a single lift facing a pristine alpine lake. But what sounds like a winter wonderland quickly raises red flags: there are no financials listed, no clear cash flow, and heavy CapEx lurking beneath the snow.

Key Highlights:
- $4.9M price tag for 230 acres in Wyoming with ski and summer amenities
- 800 ft vertical drop, 1 ski lift, cabins, bar, restaurant, wedding venue
- No stated revenue or EBITDA—possibly breakeven at best
- Remote location = staffing, access, and utility maintenance challenges
- Hosts suspect it's better for a cult compound or tax-optimized lifestyle than a business investment

This week's deal is a small, decades-old Canadian distributor of measurement and control equipment for the oil and gas industry, based in rural Alberta. The company does about $2.75M in revenue and $208K in EBITDA (possibly CAD), offering pressure, flow, and temperature monitoring tools—plus parts and calibration support—to over 200 recurring customers across North America.

Key Highlights:
- Revenue: $2.75M | EBITDA: $208K (2026 estimates)
- Location: Rural Alberta, Canada; low customer concentration
- Likely just 1-2 operators, mostly parts distribution, not services
- Potential upside through long-overdue price increases
- Brokered by Generational Equity, with discussion on their practices

The hosts dive into a fascinating Generational Equity listing: a $41M revenue precious metals buyer with projected $6M EBITDA for 2025. With over 15 years in operation and locations across the Eastern U.S., the business buys gold, silver, coins, diamonds, and more directly from consumers, then flips those assets to refineries, retailers, or via eBay. Their proprietary ERP and X-ray fluorescence tech help optimize resale and manage inventory—but the model relies heavily on market prices and velocity.

Key Highlights:
- Projected 2025 Revenue: $41M; Projected EBITDA: $6M (15% margin)
- Operates consumer-facing storefronts buying and flipping precious metals
- Uses proprietary ERP and X-ray fluorescence tech for pricing and inventory
- Regulatory red flags, cash-heavy business, possible money laundering risks
- SBA financing unlikely; creative deal structure or all-equity required
