Some of us are so focused on growing our businesses that we rarely consider what comes next or how to secure financial freedom without diving back into the grind. We discuss why the black-and-white “all in” or “all out” approach to retirement can be limiting, and how to find a balance between enjoying the fruits of your labor while staying engaged with work you love. This episode is packed with advice on building financial stability, creating an "off-ramp" for yourself, and ensuring you have a cushion when it’s time to make that transition. We explore why planning and investing in alignment with your goals can provide the peace of mind needed to thrive in both your professional and personal life. If you’re an entrepreneur ready to think about the next chapter, or simply curious about balancing financial growth with a fulfilling life, this conversation with Spencer will give you a new perspective.
