#84 He was told his business was worth nothing. Five years later he sold it for millions - on his own terms.
Episode Description
Neil Osmond never set out to be an entrepreneur. He was a pharma executive with a steady job, a young family, and no savings when a friend showed him something on a computer that he couldn't stop thinking about.
What followed was a 15-year journey - mapping the London Olympics, pivoting into healthcare, nearly running a glorified lifestyle business, and eventually selling Earthware to a global medical communications group after more than ten first-stage offers.
In this episode, Neil walks through all of it: the brutal feedback that changed his direction, how he used Vivid Vision, EOS, and 8 Agencynomics benchmarks to transform the business, why knowing your number before you sell is non-negotiable - and what true wealth looks like when the chapter is finally closed.
