How I Escaped My Own Business Without Selling

Most founders think the only way out of their business is to sell it. But what if you could step out without stepping away?

In this first episode of The Cort Brady Podcast, I share how I went from working 80-hour weeks, losing major clients, and landing in the hospital with stress-induced heart tremors—to owning a profitable, growing company that no longer needs me to operate.

I’ll break down:

✅ The hard truth about why most founders stay trapped in their own business

✅ My rock-bottom moment that forced me to rethink everything

✅ The biggest myth about hiring and why my first attempts failed

✅ The exact framework I used to go from burnout to a thriving, self-sustaining company

If you’re a founder who’s stuck in the daily grind and wondering if there’s a way out—this is the episode I wish I had years ago.
