Most entrepreneurs think going public is the endgame.

But what if it was actually the beginning?

In this episode, Seth Bradley sits down with Callum Laing to break down a strategy almost no one talks about using a public listing as a growth tool, not an exit.

After working on 100+ acquisitions and generating over half a billion dollars in shareholder value, Calum reveals how traditional IPO thinking is flawed, and how a smarter, more controlled approach can unlock long-term scale.

He shares how his “constrained stock” model reduces volatility, builds credibility, and creates a pathway for small to mid-sized businesses to access public markets without the typical chaos.

If you’re building a business, raising capital, or thinking about scaling beyond private markets… this conversation will completely shift how you think about growth.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

• Why most IPOs destroy shareholder value, and how to avoid it

• The real reason 70% of public listings lose value

• How “constrained stock” creates stability and long-term growth

• Why public markets can be a growth strategy, not just an exit

• How smaller companies can leverage global capital markets

• The mindset shift required to build sustainable wealth
