About this episode
Brad Johnson discusses how business owners can create passive income after selling their companies and the strategies involved in managing their wealth post-exit.
Episode Description In this episode, Brad Johnson explains how business owners can turn the proceeds from selling a company or experiencing a major liquidity event into passive monthly income that can fund retirement indefinitely. He shares why many entrepreneurs reach the finish line without a real plan for their wealth, why traditional stock-and-bond portfolios often feel misaligned after an exit, and how Evergreen’s two-engine income strategy is designed to create both dependable cash flow today and income growth for the future. Brad also covers the trade-offs of private markets, the importance of choosing the right advisor, and why focusing on income goals can be far more useful than chasing a net worth number.
