In this episode of Scaling with Intent, Peggy Niles dives into why exit isn’t a single event on the horizon — it’s something you build every day through the way you lead, make decisions, and protect your company’s value. You’ll hear how daily habits — from empowering your team to clarifying vision — strengthen both profitability and long-term value, so you’re prepared for whatever life throws your way. Whether your goal is more freedom today or a profitable exit later, this conversation will help you protect what you’ve built before you’re “ready.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS: 

• Why “exit readiness” isn’t a future event — it’s the byproduct of everyday decisions.

• How businesses lose value when they rely too heavily on the owner’s daily involvement.

• The story of “Sarah,” an agency owner who learned the hard way why value protection can’t wait.

• Three practical ways to build strength and resilience into your company now.

• Why vision is the one role you can’t delegate — and how it fuels profit and long-term value.

• How protecting value daily prepares you for both planned and unexpected life events.

Quote Worth Repeating: "Exit isn’t someday — it’s every day. Because you don’t always get to choose the timing."

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
