From the Episode:

"You need to have a podcast; you need to have a book; you need to move into the e-learning space, you need to have some kind of digital product, so you're expanding your visibility. "-Dr. T

"Another part of the work I do is help the owners of the company prepare the business...through these relationships with these advisors, to help with owner readiness, and then there are the business readiness aspects of Exit Planning. And if the business isn't turnkey, then we've got some work to do. " -Julie Keyes
