What if freedom isn't something you earn after making enough money but something you build into the way you live and work? In this episode of Show Up with Priyanka, Priyanka Khandalkar sits down with entrepreneur, creator, designer, musician, and founder Bryan McAnulty to explore what it really means to create a business around your gifts, values, curiosity, and purpose.

What if the true measure of a successful business isn't how much money it makes but how valuable, transferable, and sustainable it becomes without you? In this powerful conversation, Gregory Kovsky, President and CEO of International Business Associates (IBA), shares lessons from more than 30 years in business brokerage, having personally facilitated over 300 transactions and contributed to more than 4,400 business sales. Going beyond the mechanics of buying and selling, Gregory reveals what makes a business attractive to buyers and what can make it difficult to sell. From strong leadership and middle management to company culture, operational continuity, and reducing owner dependency, he explains why building a business that can operate without its founder is one of the most important investments an entrepreneur can make. He also shares the story of a company that grew from a garage operation into a low-eight-figure business before its owners recognized that their own capabilities were becoming the ceiling for future growth. Perhaps most importantly, Gregory reveals why the highest offer isn't always the best offer. Sometimes the right buyer is the one who will protect the people, customers, relationships, and legacy built over years of hard work. This conversation is especially valuable for entrepreneurs and home-service business owners who want more than revenue. It challenges you to consider whether you're building a business that depends on you or one that can grow, create freedom, and continue thriving without you. Because a successful exit doesn't begin when you decide to sell; it begins with how you build today.

Why do so many purpose-driven people find themselves exhausted, burned out, and constantly giving to everyone else while neglecting themselves? In this deeply honest episode of Show Up With Priyanka, Priyanka sits down with Mazarine Treyz, author, speaker, government contracting educator, nonprofit consultant, and leadership trainer who has trained more than 22,000 leaders across the United States, Canada, the UK, and Jamaica. After spending over a decade helping nonprofits raise millions of dollars, Mazarine began asking a difficult question: Why are the very people dedicating their lives to helping others often sacrificing their own wellbeing? Drawing from her new book Healing from the Nonprofit Sector, Mazarine shares how childhood conditioning, people-pleasing, workplace culture, systemic power structures, grief, and self-abandonment quietly shape our careers, relationships, leadership, and sense of worth. Although much of the conversation draws examples from the nonprofit world, the lessons extend far beyond one industry. Whether you're an entrepreneur, executive, corporate professional, leader, caregiver, or someone who constantly puts others first, this episode will help you recognize the hidden patterns keeping you stuck and inspire you to reclaim your voice, your boundaries, and your authentic self. If you've ever felt guilty for resting, struggled to say no, or believed your value comes only from what you give, this conversation will change the way you see yourself and your leadership.

What does it really take to scale a business from $6 million to over $100 million in revenue? In this episode of Show Up With Priyanka, I sit down with Josh Gould—CEO of The Big Word, investor, operator, and host of the ExecCraft Podcast—for a conversation that goes far beyond business strategy.
