Independence by Design

Independence by DesignTM is a podcast for growth-oriented business owner-operators looking for a proven framework to break free from the day-to-day grind and design a business that generates sustainable cash flow and builds equity value, giving them the freedom to do more of what they love. Hosted by Ryan Tansom, who turned around and sold his family business in an eight-figure deal, the show and the Independence by DesignTM Framework draw from over a decade of hard-earned lessons. With more than 400 podcast episodes, hundreds of speaking engagements, and guiding over 1,500 owners through his workshops, Ryan brings expertise that comes from being in the trenches. While countless systems help us "work in" the business, few focus on how to "work on" the business and truly “win” the game of ownership. The IBDTM Framework’s three steps—understand the game, choose your game, and play the game—organize each episode and guest discussion to help you create more independence over your time, cash flow, and equity. Whether you're feeling stuck or ready to elevate your business ownership, this podcast equips you with the strategies to align your business with your life goals and maximize the full potential of your ownership.
