EP331 Be the Owner, Not the Renter - Building Brands That Last

In this episode of the Cash Rich Exit Podcast, Colleen O'Connell-Campbell welcomes Joanna Track, serial entrepreneur, strategist, and founder of Good Eggs & Co.

 

Joanna has launched and exited multiple businesses - including Sweet Spot, eLuxe, and The Bullet - and now leads Good Eggs & Co., a consultancy focused on content and context marketing. Known for her candid, no-nonsense approach, Joanna shares what she's learned about building brands with staying power, navigating exits, and avoiding common pitfalls that entrepreneurs face.

 

Key Highlights:

 

Redefining success in an exit: why an exit doesn't always equal success, and how legacy plays a role.

 

From Sweet Spot to The Bullet: Joanna's journey of launching and scaling digital-first businesses in Canada, often ahead of the curve.

 

The capital gap for women entrepreneurs: reflections on raising millions in funding and the systemic challenges women still face.

 

Don't build on rented land: Joanna's hard-won philosophy on creating assets you own (like email lists and websites) versus relying on platforms you don't control.

 

Content with context: why brands need to serve before they sell, focus on the long game, and create authentic, relatable voices.

 

Personal brand vs. business brand: why people buy from people, and how leaders can use thought leadership to strengthen both.

 

Growth mindset: why Joanna shifted from saying she wanted to keep Good Eggs small, to embracing its rapid growth trajectory.

 

Fun, frank advice: be yourself, be authentic, and test - because the biggest risk is never putting your ideas into the world.

Whether you're scaling, selling, or starting fresh, Joanna's story offers lessons in resilience, ownership, and building a brand that thrives beyond you.
