Phantom Equity with Raleigh Williams

Raleigh Williams is one of my favorite people. Not a stranger to the show, 2nd time at least but he always packed in so much value. He’s bought, scaled, sold so many businesses.

Raleigh walked away from a huge attorney career and salary to live life on his own terms. We dive into Phantom Equity though. Podcast Nuggies   Phantom Equity! That’s it. Could be a game changer for many. Consult your attorney.   Free SBM Financial Courses https://letsbuyabusiness.com/courses/   Ready to level up but not 1 on 1 consulting?
