About this episode
Is your business truly valuable—or just another job you've created for yourself? In this episode of Succession Stories, Laurie Barkman speaks with Justin Goodbread, award-winning exit planner, best-selling author, and serial entrepreneur who has built and sold six businesses.
Justin shares how he doubled the value of his financial services firm in just 18 months, the key to making your business a transferable asset, and why your business isn't your baby—unless it's an ugly one. Tune in for actionable insights on scaling, selling, and finding joy beyond the exit.
