Episode Title: "Your Digital Legacy: From Exit Strategy to Abandonment Plan"

In this episode, we explore the importance of managing your digital assets and preparing for an eventual exit. From personal digital assets like email accounts and social media profiles, to business-related digital properties such as podcasts or YouTube channels, we guide you through the steps needed to secure your digital legacy.

First, we delve into the concept of a 'Digital Will' and its crucial role in today's digital age. We discuss how to inventory your digital assets, choose an executor, provide secure access, outline your wishes, and legally validate the document. We underscore the importance of regular updates and consulting a legal expert to navigate the varied laws surrounding digital wills.


Switching gears, we discuss succession planning for your podcast or YouTube channel. We walk you through how to identify a successor, document your creation process, share access details, and handle legal and financial considerations. We also highlight the importance of a communication plan for your audience and the need for regular plan reviews.


Lastly, we examine practical approaches to setting up for your exit. We talk about organization strategies, the benefits of keeping your assets under one roof, forming an LLC, and the importance of protecting your brands with trademarks. We also explore how keeping your accounts 'clean' and effective bookkeeping play pivotal roles in ensuring a smooth transition.


Join us as we unpack the complexities of preparing for an 'Exit Strategy' or an 'Abandonment Plan', helping you leave a secure and well-managed digital legacy.
