Hi there,

Every year, I notice the same pattern.

Smart founders and CEOs do not need more information.
They need better perspective.
They need a few sharp reminders that cut through the noise.

That is why I created an annual tradition on ‘The Cash Rich Exit Podcast’.
It is called the fun, frank advice episode.

This is a deeply committed practice that my team and I have curated for 7 years since I started this podcast.

It is a montage.
A highlight reel.
A fast-moving collection of real talk from the leaders I've interviewed this year.

Some guests bring strategy.
Some bring hard-earned scars.
Some bring one sentence that changes how you see your business.

And that is the point.

Because your exit is not a single event.
It is the outcome of hundreds of small decisions made over years.

Most business owners will exit one way or another.
The real question is whether yours will be intentional.

That is why I love this episode format.

It is not a recap.
It is not a list of predictions.
It is a reset.

It helps you step back and ask a few bigger questions.

Are you building a business that can run without you?
Or are you building a job with great marketing?

Are you protecting your future self?
Or are you just pushing today’s problems forward?

Are you building enterprise value?
Or are you simply staying busy?

This annual episode is also a way to honour the self made nation.

I am grateful for every guest who shows up with honesty.
I am grateful for every listener who stays curious.
And I am grateful that this community cares about doing success on purpose.

If you want a quick, high-signal listen, this one is for you.

And if the show has helped you think differently, I have a small ask.

Please leave a five-star rating and a short review (on Apple podcasts here: add link).
It takes a minute.
It helps the right people find the show.

Thanks for being here.

TTFN (ta ta for now)
