We’ve officially hit 100 episodes of Own the Exit! In this milestone conversation, Caleb and Aaron reflect on the lessons learned from two years of weekly episodes, highlight unforgettable guest moments, and—for the first time ever—answer the same Exit Round questions they’ve asked every guest.
From how to build with the end in mind, to why your business shouldn’t become your prison, to the importance of stacking skills and planning your freedom, this episode is a candid and inspiring look behind the scenes of the journey so far.
