If you’re not building your business to sell, you’re building yourself a job.

In this episode, Jack sits down with Steve and Austin from McCall Wealth Advisors to break down what actually drives business value—and why most owners leave millions on the table when they exit.

From EBITDA games to private equity traps, this is a masterclass on how to turn your home service business into a sellable, high-multiple asset.

Because the reality is simple:
 No buyer wants to step in and buy a job—they want a business that prints profit.

💡 What you’ll learn in this episode:

•  Why 80% of your net worth is probably tied to your business
•  The biggest mistake owners make when preparing for an exit 
•  Why you should start planning your exit 5–7 years in advance
