Most business owners know they'll exit their business one day. Very few have talked to their partner about what that actually looks like — or when. In this episode, Joey Brannon and Cameron Earhart close out the four-part partnership series by tackling the conversations most partners avoid until they can't: exit timelines, succession planning, and what happens when two partners are ready to leave on very different schedules. They walk through the most common exit paths — third-party sale, ESOP, internal buyout, and recapitalization — and what daily decisions are quietly narrowing your options right now, so you can build a healthier business today that gives you real choices when it's time to go.
