Stephanie specializes in helping business owners design exits that maximize wealth and personal freedom—no matter the size or stage of your company.

We talk about how to shift from operator to architect by focusing on how to create business assets that drive value. Stephanie walks you through business model design for solopreneurs, the importance of understanding small business valuation strategies, and how to build a sellable business that aligns with your lifestyle goals.
