0:02.7 | Can you sell closure as a service? Can you build a business around helping people walk away from |
0:17.2 | something, whether it's a job, a business, a relationship. In this episode, |
0:21.3 | we're going to explore the business of graceful exits. I like that phrase, sneak peek. And whether |
0:26.7 | it is a service the world needs, I always hear from listeners who have different business ideas |
0:31.0 | and they're thinking about maybe this is going to be my next side hustle or maybe it's my first |
0:36.2 | one, whatever the situation is. And we often hear about |
0:39.4 | how to start things. We've talked about that here on the podcast and in the world at large. |
0:45.1 | You hear about how to launch, how to grow, how to scale. But what about the other side, how to end |

1:22.9 | because here you are. Ben's question and my answer coming right up. What's up? I want to tell you today about |
1:30.6 | our partner, ZipRecruiter. You know, ZipRecruiter. If you don't, you should. Perhaps as a good |
1:36.1 | introduction to them, let's talk about speed and quality. You don't usually get both of those |
1:40.2 | things together. You don't go through a fast food drive-thru and expect a gourmet meal to go, |
1:45.3 | or if you do, you're probably going to be disappointed. If you use some automated fancy AI tools |
1:50.1 | to do online tasks, sometimes that works well, and sometimes it doesn't. Perhaps you have experienced |
1:55.5 | that. Speed and quality, they don't always go together, but there is an exception to this unwritten |
