The Conversation Most Men Don't Have... But Should | Sharran Srivatsaa
I sat down with the newest President of Acquisition.com, Sharran Srivatsaa, for a convo most men never have out loud. We unpacked what it actually takes to build real wealth without losing your marriage, your kids, or your sanity in the process. From selling multi-7-figure businesses to copping a gut-punch from my daughter that changed how I show up as a dad… we held nothing back. We talk about chasing freedom, what “enough” really means, and building a business that serves your life instead of swallowing it whole. If you’re a coach, creator or founder chasing big goals… but you’re not willing to sacrifice your family or peace to get there, this is the one for you.
