Succession
Stories Podcast

Insights from transition to transaction —
from creating value to letting go.

Why Is Business
Succession So Hard?

The award-winning podcast, hosted by Laurie Barkman, The Business Transition Sherpa™, M&A advisor, author, and keynote speaker, guides entrepreneurs who are considering leaving their ventures or simply beginning to think about their next steps.

When you’re ready to sell, the company may not be sell-ready–leaving you out of time and unrewarded. If you want to create a more valuable business, or determine the best way to transition your closely held company, this podcast is for you.

Also listen to our featured series, The Entrepreneur Gene™, as Laurie interviews entrepreneurs and experts for insights to grow your business and how to address challenges along the way.
