THE COMMON TABLE
Find a useful resource, a different perspective, or the right kind of outside help.
Membership
Manager Tools (Program / community provider)
Paid learning and guidance tiers for professionals, managers and executives.
Keep in mind: Benefits vary by tier. Free membership and a trial do not make an ongoing paid license free.
John Martinka (Host)
Conversations about small-business transactions.
Keep in mind: A podcast does not establish that the host will represent you.
Melinda Emerson (Service provider)
Private coaching on business growth, clients and revenue.
Keep in mind: The application does not establish acceptance, the total fee or a performance guarantee.
Newsletter
Michael Girdley (Creator)
Observations about buying and operating businesses.
Keep in mind: Examples reflect the author’s experience and commercial interests, not personalized advice.

Sales-focused presentations and team training.
Keep in mind: Not an immediately available individual coaching appointment.
Article collection

Keep in mind: The provider has a commercial transaction interest. Confirm client side, fees and engagement terms.
