The Real Bottom Line

This episode takes a turn.
 Wendy’s not in the host chair.
 I slide in to interview her and Kelsey as we wrap up 2025 and look straight into 2026.

We cover what surprised them about business owners this year, where owners are getting stuck, why so many people are tired, and why resilience and action suddenly matter more than ever.

We dig into the myths that refuse to die, the habits that make a business sellable, and the blind spots that can wipe out value overnight.

We also talk about life after the sale.
 The identity stuff.
 The what now moment.

If you’re planning to sell in five years or you’re nowhere near ready but want the option, this one will get you thinking.
