    What Every Entreprenuer Leader Needs To Know About Building Wealth | Troy Hoffman

    Most entrepreneurs say they want to sell their company someday. But very few are actually preparing for that moment.   In this raw and insightful conversation, Stephen sits down with entrepreneur, investor, and founder advisor Troy Hoffman to unpack the realities behind scaling a business, preparing for an exit, and becoming the kind of leader who can actually sustain success.   Troy shares lessons from years of helping burned-out founders reposition their companies for massive exits, while also revealing the painful truths that most entrepreneurs learn too late. Along with Stephen, he also dive into why success can create blind spots, why most entrepreneurs resist learning what they don't know, and how surrounding yourself with powerful mentors and masterminds can radically accelerate your growth.   If you're building a company, dreaming of an exit, or trying to lead with both impact and integrity, this episode delivers hard-earned wisdom that every founder needs to hear.   "High-level people don't come with questions.
