​Search & Life Management – The Side of ETA We Don’t Talk About Enough

​ETA is a grind. Long hours, constant highs and lows, and the weight of uncertainty—it’s all part of the journey. But what we don’t talk about enough is how to manage it all without burning out.

​Join us for a real, no-BS conversation on the mental and physical challenges of Search, led by experienced operators who have been in your shoes. This isn’t about deal mechanics—it’s about staying focused, managing stress, and pushing forward when things get tough.

​Expect candid stories, actionable insights, and an engaged community that gets it.

​Our panelists:

​Chase Murdock, CEO @ Decada Group

​Ania Aliev, CEO @ Life Support Systems
