Eric Nuss
Growth matters. So does what it costs you.
Eric Nuss has spent twenty-five years running, buying, selling, and advising owner-led businesses. He founded XpoNential Management, co-founded XpoDental, and wrote The Broke(n) Part(s).
Eric Nuss helps people get more of what they want and less of what they do not.
He has done that from a lot of different chairs. He built and led a division inside Henry Schein, founded the Dental Business Institute, acquired practices, represented sellers, and worked across more than 100 transactions. He has carried payroll, capital, risk, and the consequences of getting decisions wrong.
That experience included failure. Growth outran the systems meant to carry the load, the company came apart, and what he learned in the years after became a book.
Today he works alongside owners who want to grow with guardrails, so the business does not end up costing them their family, their health, or their integrity. The longer version is here.
He also speaks and runs workshops for owner groups and associations, and keeps the published record of his articles, interviews and press in one place.

Guardrails
Build so a bad year cannot take the business.
Most owners do not lose a business to one catastrophe. They lose it because growth outran the systems meant to carry the load, and nothing was in place to stop the fall.
The guardrail is not there for the easy stretch.
The work
Three places the work lives

xpodental.com →The book
He has stood on top of a business he built and in the hole underneath one that failed
Thirteen chapters and five worksheets explain how a business actually breaks, what an owner should do in the first seventy two hours, and how to rebuild with guardrails that hold under load.
