Danny Murawinski built Exit Built from a laptop, sold equity to a trade association instead of a VC, then hired his own replacement as CEO. In this episode he walks through the mindset behind two companies, the hardest year of his life, and how he's building advertising audiences at scale with his new company, Allora Labs.

What You'll Learn:

• How Danny landed a defensible company valuation without a "magic formula"
• Why he turned down five acquisition offers before taking the right investment
• The moment that led him to hire a CEO and fire himself from day-to-day operations
• What Allora Labs actually does with privacy-safe advertising audiences
• The rock-bottom story behind his "extreme ownership" mindset

About Danny: Danny Murawinski is the founder of Exit Built and founder/CEO of Allora Labs, building privacy-compliant advertising audiences for brands across Meta, LinkedIn, X, and Connected TV. (Bio assembled from transcript + public sources — flagged below, please confirm.)

Jason Vasilakos spent nearly 28 years cooking in other people's kitchens before he and his wife Monique left the Northeast to open their first restaurant of their own. The Flyin' Bulldog — a chef-owned spot in downtown Dunedin — is the result. In this episode, Jason shares the leap, the food philosophy, and why Dunedin won out over everywhere else on the Gulf Coast.

What You'll Learn:

• Why a trained chef with 28 years of experience finally bet on himself
• How Jason and Monique chose Dunedin (and the deal they walked away from a day before signing)
• What actually makes a chef-owned restaurant different from a chain
• The "sandwiches by day, dinners by night" plan — plus weekend breakfast and a Yappy Meal for the dogs
• Jason's advice for anyone dreaming of opening their own place

About the Guest:
Jason Vasilakos is a chef with close to 28 years in the culinary world and the co-owner, with his wife Monique, of The Flyin' Bulldog in downtown Dunedin — their first restaurant.
