Business
without
bullsh-t
“Candid, no-nonsense conversations about the world of business, minus the jargon.”
EP 411 - Most families don’t just feel grief when someone dies - they feel anger.
Anger about the mess, the debt, the confusion, and the things nobody sorted out.
In this episode of Business Without BS, we have the conversation most people avoid - but absolutely shouldn’t.
We talk about what actually happens if you die without a plan, why love isn’t flowers and chocolates, and how a few uncomfortable decisions can completely change your family’s future.
This isn’t about being wealthy. It’s about being responsible.
We cover:
What happens if you die without a will (and why modern families are hit hardest)
Why unmarried partners are often left with nothing
Life insurance: what it really does, how cheap it can be, and when it matters most
Powers of attorney and the nightmare families face without them
Business owners, shares, and the chaos nobody plans for
Why “I didn’t get round to it” is one of the worst legacies you can leave
This conversation is uncomfortable, but it might be the most loving thing you ever do for the people you care about.

“We are looking at a bridging round of funding”
Translation:
I’m staring at the bank balance and we have literally run out of money.
BWB Explains: A bridging round is a quick injection of cash to tide you over in terms of cash until you close your next round of fundraising. See also “Burn Rate” and “Runway”
