Pro services company legends: timeless business lessons

What does it really take to build, scale, and exit a services company? In this “best of” 2 Commas episode, we revisit three remarkable founders who each grew, sold, and learned in very different ways — and who share the truths you won’t find in any textbook.

👉 Marisa Fong on chasing government contracts as a two-person team — and why ambition mattered more than headcount.
👉 Matt Chapman on scaling a global business that felt like a runaway freight train — and the strain and payoff of going big.
👉 Jovan Pavlicevic on selling before the market turned — and why an exit is never just about the money.

These aren’t glossy founder stories. They’re hard-won lessons on ambition, timing, resilience, and the messy human side of exits.

Whether you’re just starting out, in the thick of scaling, or eyeing a future sale, this episode delivers raw insights every founder should hear.
