Why Employee Wellness Matters: Caring for Your Team Beyond the Workplace
Episode Summary: CMMC Compliance & Business Sales in Aerospace with Bill Alderman
In this episode of One Pour Problems, Sal Marino chats with Bill Alderman, founder of Alderman & Company, about what it takes to sell a business in the aerospace and defense sector. From piloting his own plane to navigating complex M&A deals, Bill shares stories from his impressive career and the critical lessons he's learned along the way.
The conversation dives into why CMMC 2.0 compliance is no longer optional for aerospace contractors working with the DoD or Homeland Security—and how being unprepared can cost business owners big during due diligence. Bill also explains the power of bringing in expert partners (like Charles IT) before an audit, and why service-centric businesses have an edge when it’s time to sell.
Whether you're preparing for an acquisition, tackling compliance, or just want to build a more resilient business, this episode offers practical guidance you won’t want to miss.
