In this opening episode, hosts Wendy Brookhouse and Jodi Laking introduce themselves, the show, and the reason it exists: business owners are dangerously unprepared for the day they can't show up for their business, and the planning most of us avoid is exactly what protects our families and everything we've built.


Wendy shares her "bus" analogy for moving a spouse from back-seat passenger to ready-to-take-the-keys, and the pair introduce Susie — the fictional-but-familiar owner whose journey runs through the whole series. You'll hear why people plan their vacations more thoroughly than their estates, why that has to change, and how AI fits in (a helpful tool, never a replacement for the professionals who actually know you). Consider this your friendly on-ramp to the next 11 episodes.

Half of all business transitions are involuntary, driven by one of the four Ds: death, divorce, disability, or disagreement. Roughly 76% of owners intend to sell or transition within seven to eight years, yet only about 9% have a plan. More than half of Canadians don't even have a will.


Wendy and Jodi unpack what that actually costs the people left behind: out-of-date beneficiaries, assets no one knew existed, common-law partners who may be entitled to nothing, and the tax traps hiding inside a "fair" 50/50 split. Jodi shares the personal loss that launched Your Business Executor and what her family learned the hard way about being locked out as non-executors. You'll also learn why your lawyer, accountant, and financial planner are four separate "islands", and why none of them holds the operational plan your family will desperately need. The episode ends with the simplest possible first step: start educating yourself tonight.
