Most entrepreneurs say they want to exit someday.

But when that day finally comes, very few walk away with what they hoped for.

Alastair Broom did!

He bootstrapped a business out of his own garage, scaled it over 15 years, and sold it for 5x profit with 95% of the cash paid upfront.

And he didn’t start until he was 58 years old.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How he turned a messy garage into a premium brand
• The delegation strategy that freed him up and scaled sales
• How COVID increased his margins and helped him grow
• How he managed to double his profit margins
• The emotional rollercoaster of letting go (and how he handled it)

In this week’s podcast, Will Polston joins me for a brutally honest conversation about the darker side of success: identity loss, suicidal thoughts, burnout, and the mental crash that follows the big payday. But this isn’t a doom-and-gloom session.

Here’s what you’ll take away:

    -   How to bounce back after failure or losing everything (he’s done it—twice)
    -   The mindset framework that stops “success” from becoming your prison
    -   Why entrepreneurs often struggle more after they exit—and what to do instead
