In this episode, Bob Fincher sits down with Ryan Edwards, for an in-depth conversation about the Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) designation—what it is, why it matters, and how it sets us apart in helping business owners plan for the future.

🚀 In this episode, we cover:

✅ What the CEPA designation is and how it helps business owners

✅ Why exit planning is essential (even if you’re not planning to sell soon)

✅ How CEPA differentiates our approach from traditional financial advising

✅ The biggest mistakes business owners make when thinking about exiting

✅ Practical steps you can take today to build long-term business value

As we always say: Exit planning IS business planning. It’s not just about the sale—it’s about building a stronger, more valuable business that gives you more control, flexibility, and financial security.
