What 8 Years of Exit Planning Taught Her About Business Owners | Jacqueline Kaltz
Note sull'episodio
Jacqueline Kaltz-Coulombe grew up in construction. Her family's company, the job sites, the contracts, the sleepless nights around the dinner table.
She began Kaltz Coulombe Law as a boutique construction and corporate firm, but it evolved into something closer to an advisory partnership: Fixed pricing. Membership models. Real relationships.
Which is why she’s now the Chief Owner Strategist of Freedom-First Pathway.
In this episode of The Freedom-First Pathway Podcast, she and Matt cover:
→ What it costs owners when most advisory relationships stay transactional
→ How the Pathway Assessment creates a full picture that no single advisor can see
→ What "growth strategy" means when you strip away the buzzword
→ Why construction business owners carry a kind of pressure that most advisors miss
→ How family dynamics show up inside companies
Owners feel alone. You can have a great CPA, a solid financial advisor, and a sharp attorney and still feel like you're piecing it all together yourself. That’s why we give owners a team that actually communicates.
Jacqueline, thanks for being a guest on the episode - we appreciate your insight so much!
