In 2009, when my son Ryan joined our family business, it was doing $21 million and lost close to a million bucks. After five grueling years, he helped lead our company through an eight-figure exit. Since then, he has spent every waking minute learning what we could have done differently. His ten-year therapy session led him to create multiple businesses, start a podcast, and travel around the US, speaking on hundreds of stages to share my story (Visgage, EO, CEO Nexus, industry associations, etc.). The result was the Independence by Design™ Framework and his owner's workshop.
IBD™ has three steps and an Ownership Roadmap™ that helps you maximize your independence through more sustainable cash flow, a higher equity valuation, and a business that allows you to do more of what you love.
