In this episode I sit down with Tobi Pearce, co-founder of Sweat, one of the worlds most successful fitness apps, which went on to sell in a deal valued over $400M. But this isn’t a conversation about headlines. It’s a deep dive into what actually creates business value and why most founders misunderstand what an “exit” really means.From scaling Sweat in just a few years to deliberately designing a business to be sellable, Tobi breaks down the strategic decisions behind building an asset… not just an income.Inside this episode:Why most business exits are inefficient, overhyped, or poorly structuredHow to design your business to become a valuable, sellable assetThe truth about valuations (and why they can swing dramatically)Why subscription models, structure, and risk reduction increase valueThe difference between owning, investing in, and acquiring businessesWhat founders get wrong about cash flow vs. capital growthWhy selling your business doesn’t always create the lifestyle you expect If you’re building a business and thinking about long-term wealth (not just short-term revenue) this episode will change how you approach growth, strategy, and exits.LETS CONNECT — click here to find me on IG, Youtube, TikTok and explore ways to work together
