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

1:36.1

introduction to them, let's talk about speed and quality. You don't usually get both of those

1:40.2

1:45.3

or if you do, you're probably going to be disappointed. If you use some automated fancy AI tools
