Marine Corps veteran and cybersecurity entrepreneur Omar Dennis joins Freddie Kim to unpack the real story behind acquiring a business, scaling from 1 to 50 employees overnight, and leading with emotional intelligence. Omar is the CEO of Sedulous Consulting Services, a firm that now supports federal, healthcare, and commercial clients in high-stakes cyber missions. He shares how a single question led to a 6-month M&A process, why fear is just data, and how EQ – not a degree – helped him navigate layoffs, culture shifts, and customer expectations post-acquisition.

We get tactical on evaluating team fit, how to deliver hard news with respect, and the business case against hiring C-players. If you're thinking about buying a business or leading one through change, this is a must-watch.
