Spencer Wright

Founder, The Pod Mill · Creator, The SMB Playbook · Sandy, Utah

Spencer Wright leads owner education and founder transition at Exit Engine. He is the founder of The Pod Mill, Utah's largest podcast network, and of the Founder's Therapy podcast — deep conversations on the psychology of building, leading, and letting go — which he brings to Exit Engine.

Selling a business isn't just a transaction; it's an identity change. There is a gap between M&A advisory and what an owner actually goes through — the mindset, the emotional readiness, the question of who you are after the sale. Spencer works that gap, so owners arrive at the table prepared for the deal and for the transition that follows it.

Spencer has been producing podcasts since 2016 and has helped new and experienced podcasters, brands, and groups take shows from inception to profitability. He holds a master's degree in health care administration from the University of Utah.
