The conversations that happen after the wire — for the founders who sold, and the brokers and M&A attorneys who got them there. Most podcasts celebrate how founders built their companies. The Exit Series documents what happened after they sold — the identity shift, the financial decisions that couldn't wait, the year nobody warned them about. Founders tell the real story of life after the exit. Brokers, M&A attorneys, and exit planners put their expertise on the record before owners need them. Hosted by Bob Roark. theexitseries.com
