As Featured In: DealQuest Podcast (Apple Podcasts) — Corey Kupfer (host) · 2026
In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer talks with Imperio Wealth Advisors founder Omar Morillo about what sophisticated pre-exit planning looks like for business owners preparing for a major liquidity event. Omar breaks down three levels of tax-aware investing — from simple ETF investing to direct indexing and long-short strategies — and explains why many planning opportunities disappear once a letter of intent is on the table.
The conversation also touches on estate planning, donor-advised funds, PPLI, and the emotional side of a business exit.
