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.

Nigel Beach: 50 million mandarins a day: Inside a $150M sorting empire
50 million mandarins processed every single day.
In this episode of 2 Commas, Nigel Beach shares the story behind Compac, the New Zealand engineering company that quietly became a global leader in automated fruit sorting.
Nigel spent more than two decades inside the business, starting as a graduate software engineer and eventually becoming a shareholder as the company expanded across the US, Europe, and South America. What began as a small engineering firm grew into a global technology company processing millions of pieces of fruit every hour.
We explore how machine vision transformed the fruit industry, the complexity of building hardware and software at industrial scale, and the strategic decisions that helped Compac grow from around $5M in revenue to $150M before its eventual sale.
This is a founder journey shaped by engineering curiosity, relentless problem solving, and decades of incremental innovation in a surprisingly complex global industry.
