EPISODE 394: If you’ve ever felt trapped by your construction business, like everything will fall apart the moment you step away, you’re not alone.

Meet Stan. After 35 years of building a thriving construction business, he was ready to retire. 

But there was a problem—his business couldn’t survive without him. All the systems, knowledge, and decisions lived in his head. Retirement? Impossible.  

The business wasn’t just hard to sell—it was completely unsellable.
