<p>When it comes to business, the goal isn’t just a big exit—it’s about building something so empowering that staying in or stepping away both feel like exciting options. In this episode, Jaryd Krause is joined by Raleigh Williams, a former Mergers & Acquisitions lawyer turned successful entrepreneur.</p> <p>Raleigh left his law career after just nine months to start an escape room business, which he scaled and sold for eight figures. Now a father of three and husband to a breast cancer survivor, Raleigh now helps entrepreneurs “take chips off the table” and reconnect with the creativity and joy that originally drove them into business.</p> <p>The conversation dives deep into Raleigh’s journey—from walking away from law, to building a multi-million-dollar company, to writing a powerful book that helps founders navigate the emotional rollercoaster of exits and acquisitions.</p> <p>For entrepreneurs wondering whether to sell, grow, or rediscover their passion for their business, this episode is packed with game-changing insights. Learn how to find fulfillment in business, make empowered decisions, and avoid the identity crisis that can follow a big exit.</p> <p>Get ready for a raw, insightful, and inspiring conversation about purpose, growth, and enjoying the journey of entrepreneurship, no matter what stage you’re in.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Episode Highlights</strong></p> <p>03:00 Finding purpose in your work and life</p> <p>10:00 Combining enjoyment and passion into your business</p> <p>17:00 Can you truly make a hobby your work?</p> <p>25:30 The importance of being authentic in both business and personal life.</p> <p>33:00 How suffering and passion intersect in meaningful work.</p> <p>41:00 Raleigh's book and finding true fulfillment.</p> <p>45:00 Where to find Raleigh and his book?</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways</strong></p> <p>➥ Purpose isn’t found—it’s created by doing work that energizes you in the present, not some future ideal.</p> <p>➥ Passion doesn't mean ease. True passion often involves suffering you’re willing to bear because the work feels important.</p> <p>➥ Hobbies don’t have to become work. It’s okay to keep joy separate from your income stream.</p> <p>➥ Living an undivided life—being the same person in every setting—leads to deeper fulfillment and less emotional burnout.</p> <p>➥ A true calling feels like something only you can do, even when it's hard. That’s what gives it meaning.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>About The Guest</strong></p> <p>Raleigh Williams, a former mergers and acquisitions lawyer, left his career in law to start an escape room business, which he scaled and sold for eight figures.
