Exiting your business is one of the biggest milestones in any founder’s journey, and one that most will only experience once. It’s not just a financial transaction; it’s an emotional, strategic, and deeply personal transition. How do you let go of something you’ve poured your heart into while ensuring a strong future for your team, your customers, and yourself?
In this episode of Conscious Curiosity SD, Jeff sits down with Andrea Steinbrenner, Partner and CEO of Exit Consulting Group, who brings both personal experience and professional insight to the table. She walks us through the often-overlooked realities of transition: what it really takes to prepare for the exit, the emotional rollercoaster behind the scenes, and the strategies that lead to a win-win outcome for everyone involved.
If you’re a business owner, founder, or future seller, this episode is for you.
