Whether you plan to sell your company or die at your desk, you’re going to exit one way or another.

In this episode, Borzou sits down with Jessica Fialkovich, founder of Exit Factor and author of Getting the Most for Selling Your Business, who’s overseen more than 1,500 business sales.

They break down:

  • Why 95% of exits are unplanned
  • How burnout kills business value
  • The 3 things every company should give you: time, money, and freedom
  • The “four roles” founders need to replace to stop being the bottleneck
  • How revenue is vanity and profit is sanity
  • What really drives your company’s valuation

This one’s a masterclass in building a business that gives you freedom today and value tomorrow.
