Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/exit-without-selling A Timely Solution to the Silver Tsunami Crisis With 10,000 Baby Boomers retiring daily and only 20% of businesses successfully selling, millions of entrepreneurs face an impossible choice: work forever or walk away with nothing. Exit Without Selling offers the breakthrough third option. This isn't another "work ON your business" book—it's a proven playbook for stepping away while keeping ownership. Authors Richard Shaull and Luke Mardigian have helped 2,000+ business owners reduce their workweek by 20+ hours while increasing profits by an average of $117,000, all without selling. The book delivers a complete system including the Ownerless Org Chart, RISE System™ for elevating internal leaders, and monthly Profit MAP sessions that create self-optimizing businesses. Luke's own transformation—from 60 to 90 minutes weekly while growing revenue 30%—proves it works.
