What really happens when it’s time to step back from your architecture firm? In this eye-opening episode, Enoch Sears and Ryan break down the hidden traps and quiet wins that make or break firm transitions. If you think a buyout or equity plan is all it takes, think again.

This isn’t just about handing over the reins—it’s about what really drives a thriving business when you're no longer in the driver's seat. You'll hear behind-the-scenes stories of success, failure, and everything in between. Some will hit a little too close to home.

Whether you're five years in or ready to exit, this episode will challenge how you think about leadership, trust, and legacy.

• The silent killer inside most transition plans (and how to see it coming)
• Why your identity might be the biggest threat to your firm’s future
• The one overlooked factor that separates firm freedom from firm failure
