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.

Why I closed a business that fed 2,500 kids a day | Lisa King with Josh Comrie
Lisa King built Eat My Lunch in 2015 with one unusual measure of success: the business would have done its job the day it was no longer needed. By week 12, she was making 2,000 lunches a day out of her own kitchen. At peak, nearly 5,000, with politicians and police officers buttering bread in her living room before sunrise. It became one of New Zealand's most recognisable social enterprises.
The part of this conversation that stays with you is what happened next. A media story accused Lisa of personally profiting off hungry kids, at the exact moment she was earning less than she'd ever been paid in her life. She had to show a reporter her payslip to prove it. We talk through what tall poppy syndrome actually looks like from the inside, why the charity sector in New Zealand is more territorial than people realise, and the identity crisis that came with closing a business that had defined her for five years.
When the government finally launched its own school lunch program, Lisa made the deliberate choice to shut Eat My Lunch down rather than compete with it. This episode is about that decision, the cost of being misrepresented while doing real good, and what it takes to let go of something you built from nothing.
