The Exit Planning Institute (EPI), a leading authority on exit planning for advisors and business owners, announced the launch of the "Exit Is Now: Walking to Destiny" podcast, hosted by EPI Chairman Christopher M. Snider and his son, EPI President Scott Snider. The podcast, inspired by Snider's book "Exit Is Now: Walking to Destiny," will explore principles of the Value Acceleration Methodology™, aiming to help business owners and advisors transform concepts into actionable frameworks to maximize value, grow income, and build a business that operates independently.
"When I wrote my book in 2016, I set out with the goal of helping business owners and their advisors recognize their potential and harvest the wealth locked inside their businesses," said Chris Snider. "Now, ten years later, I am excited to expand on the framework presented in the book and educate the next generation of exit planning advisors." The first episode, airing July 15, will discuss the history of the exit planning profession and EPI. Subsequent episodes will cover the business owner mindset, value creation strategies, leadership principles, the Four Intangible Capitals, the Three Legs of the Stool, the Two Concurrent Paths, and practical approaches to building, protecting, harvesting, and managing wealth.
The podcast will publish new episodes biweekly and blend personal stories, professional insights, and actionable lessons designed to help business owners and advisors create stronger businesses and better outcomes. Listeners can subscribe starting July 15 at https://podcast.exit-planning-institute.org/exit-is-now-network.
