Description
The Number is a business podcast about the numbers that actually run your business.
Each episode focuses on one number. Revenue, profit, cash flow, capacity, time, valuation, customer cost, risk, or exit readiness.
Hosted by Wendy Brookhouse, and often joined by Kelsey MacAulay, the show breaks down what that number means, why it matters, and how it should influence the decisions you make as an owner.
Some episodes feature guests. Some are honest conversations. Some are solo deep dives.
If you own a business and want better clarity, better decisions, and better outcomes, it starts with knowing your numbers.
