NEW CONTENT WEEKLY | FOR FOUNDERS SCALING TO AN EXIT
The Only Podcast for Founders
Seeking a Multi-Million Dollar Exit
Hosted by founder, investor, and 12x exit veteran Josh Comrie, 2 Commas delivers unfiltered conversations with entrepreneurs who’ve sold their businesses for 7, 8, or 9 figures.
Learn what they did right, what nearly broke the deal, and how to prepare for your own life-changing exit.
Unlike generic business podcasts, Two Commas gives you:
- Behind-the-scenes insights from real exits, from early-stage rollups to nine-figure acquisitions
- The mistakes founders wish they’d known, in their own words
- A personal playbook for scaling faster and exiting on your terms when the time is right.
2 Commas is proudly partnered with JBWere New Zealand, the country's leading wealth management firm. JBWere works with successful entrepreneurs and business leaders to turn exit outcomes into enduring wealth strategies. They understand that the best exits aren't just about the number - they're about what that number enables you to create next.
NEW EPISODE THIS WEEK
NZ's consumer debt Ponzi scheme! And the solution? | Sasha Lockley
Sasha Lockley is a trained classical singer who became a forensic accountant, then left a long career in corporate finance to start something of her own. That something is Money Sweet Spot, a lender with a mission most of the industry would call backwards: get people out of debt rather than quietly keep them in it. No fees, no default interest, and actual rewards for customers who improve their financial literacy and clear their debt faster.
In this episode of 2 Commas, Josh and Sasha get into the parts founders rarely talk about. The identity shift of walking away from a job title and having to work out who you are without it. The research Sasha did on why so many businesses fail to scale past the person who founded them. And New Zealand’s consumer debt problem, which she calls the country’s unspoken dirty story, complete with interest rates that still climb to 49%. Along the way she shares the smoke-and-mirrors move that got her first bank facility and first investors across the line at the same time.
It isn’t a classic exit story, and that’s the point. Sasha doesn’t believe in growth for growth’s sake, and her plan for the business is stranger and more interesting than a bigger loan book. For any founder thinking about what it really means to build something that can stand on its own, outlast you, and be worth something without you in the middle of it, this conversation is worth your time.
