Why Most Business Owners Can’t Retire – And How to Fix It | The Kevin Choe Show

Most business owners focus on growing revenue—but what happens when it’s time to retire? If your business isn’t a sellable asset, you could be stuck working forever.

In this episode, we sit down with Tracy Gunn to discuss why so many entrepreneurs fail to build with an exit in mind—and how that mistake can cost them their retirement. Tracy shares how she’s doing things differently by strategically building 10 candy stores designed to be sold to a private equity firm.

We cover:
🍭 Why most businesses aren’t sellable—and how to fix it
📈 How to structure your business with an exit strategy from day one
💰 What private equity firms look for when acquiring businesses
🚀 Tracy’s blueprint for scaling and selling multiple stores

If you’re a business owner (or plan to be), this episode is a must-watch. Don’t just build for revenue—build for the exit.

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
