The Number

In this episode, we explore the true essence of wealth and the freedoms that come along with it. While staying at a dream lakeside home in Ontario, our host delves into the enriching experiences and lessons from Anthea, a successful businesswoman. Together, they demystify the concept of wealth, pondering whether it's just about money or if there's more to it. Drawing inspiration from figures like Steve Jobs and insights from Strategic Coach Dan Sullivan, they discuss the intertwined freedoms of time, money, relationship, and purpose. Business owners will find particular resonance in the discussion on the "owner's trap" and the journey from being an integral part of the daily operations to a visionary CEO. By the end, listeners are encouraged to redefine their vision of a "wealthy life," focusing on relationship richness, personal freedoms, and business autonomy. For those intrigued by the idea of amplifying their business value while maintaining a work-life balance, Wendy offers an opportunity to collaborate.

What is The Number?

The Number is a business podcast about the numbers that actually run your business.

Each episode focuses on one number. Revenue, profit, cash flow, capacity, time, valuation, customer cost, risk, or exit readiness.

Hosted by Wendy Brookhouse, and often joined by Kelsey MacAulay, the show breaks down what that number means, why it matters, and how it should influence the decisions you make as an owner.

Some episodes feature guests. Some are honest conversations. Some are solo deep dives.

If you own a business and want better clarity, better decisions, and better outcomes, it starts with knowing your numbers.
