The rules for using this site and the show.

Last updated: October 28, 2026

Using this site

This website and the podcast The Making Of Hosted By Jack Pitts are run by Jack Pitts personally. When these terms say "I" or "me," they mean Jack Pitts. By using this site, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

Information and entertainment only

The episodes, articles, and everything else on this site are for information and entertainment only.

Nothing here is financial, investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice. Nothing here is an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security, or a recommendation of any company, investment, or strategy.

Before making any decision, do your own research and talk with qualified professionals who know your situation.

Guests speak for themselves

Guests share their own experiences and opinions. Their views are their own, and the show does not verify what guests say. Featuring a guest, a company, or a product is not an endorsement.

Jack's role at Salt Creek Advisory

Jack Pitts is a co-founder of Salt Creek Advisory, a sell-side M&A investment bank.

The show is Jack's personal project. Views expressed on the show and on this site are those of the speakers, not Salt Creek Advisory.

Sponsorships and paid relationships

If an episode includes a sponsorship or other paid relationship, it will be disclosed in that episode.

Guest requests

You are welcome to ask to be a guest by emailing me, as described on the Be a Guest page. Sending a request does not create any obligation for me to respond or to feature you or anyone else on the show.

Please don't send confidential or sensitive information in your email. See the Privacy Policy for how requests are handled.

Who owns the content

The episodes, artwork, and site content belong to Jack Pitts or their respective owners. Guests' names, company names, and trademarks belong to them.

You are welcome to share links to episodes and pages, and to quote short excerpts with credit to the show and a link back. Please don't republish full episodes or articles without permission.

Other sites and platforms

This site embeds players from Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and links to other services including YouTube and LinkedIn, as well as guests' own websites. I don't control those sites and am not responsible for their content or practices. Your use of them is governed by their own terms and policies.

Accuracy and corrections

I try to get things right, but episodes and articles may contain mistakes or become out of date. If you spot something that should be corrected, email jack@saltcreekadvisory.com and I will take a look.

No warranties

The site and the show are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Jack Pitts is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this site or the show, or from relying on anything said or written here.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of law rules.

Changes to these terms

If I change these terms, I will post the new version on this page and update the date at the top. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
