Shawn shares his unique approach to business advising, focusing on helping businesses transition from growth to scaling. He discusses the four key areas he addresses: financial systems, systems and operations, leadership and team development, and emotional well-being.

In this episode, I interview insurance expert Van Carlson, an insurance risk reduction expert and the owner of SRA. Van reveals how business owners can use IRS Code Section 831b to defer taxes and reduce risk, especially in anticipation of the sale of their business.
