In today’s episode, Josh Parnell and Michael Smith have a conversation about the changing landscape of leadership today and how business owners CAN look to the future with security. Michael shares his unique outsider perspective, having transitioned from a career in big consulting and private investment into the world of shop ownership and coaching. He reveals the pivotal role that chance encounters and powerful peer networks have played in his journey, and discusses how industry-wide shifts—driven by consolidation, private equity, and the coming wave of baby boomer retirements—are reshaping the future for business owners everywhere.
