Host:

Andy Farquharson
Hi there 👋, I'm Andy Farquharson, Founder of A Better Monday and host.
Over 25 years in business I've developed a passion for employee ownership. I've seen firsthand how it drives business success, personal growth, and community impact.
From successfully exiting my beverage distribution business at 26, to scaling Winning by Design to over $25M in revenue, to being part of LogMeIn's journey from $10M ARR to a $1.2B market cap, my entrepreneurial journey has been diverse and global.
I've experienced both the highs and challenges of employee ownership, witnessing its transformative effects on individuals and communities. This inspired me to champion the employee ownership model through Alternative Exit.
Beyond business, I'm a family man, adventure lover, and lifelong learner, holding a Bachelor of Business, Certificate in Private Equity from Wharton and a Certified Exit Planning Advisor designation.
Join me as we explore smart business exits, empower employee ownership, and secure lasting legacies.
