Most founders dream of selling their business and securing generational wealth. But what actually happens after the deal closes?
John Rood sold Next Step Test Prep to private equity in 2018. Instead of jumping into another business, he spent years researching what life really looks like post-exit. He interviewed 70 founders for his new book, Beyond the Exit, and uncovered a hard truth: Generational wealth isn’t worth chasing.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
-
Why generational wealth is harder to sustain than most entrepreneurs realize.
-
How many founders build another business out of habit, not necessity.
-
The uncomfortable reality of financial freedom—and why it doesn’t always bring happiness.
-
How to avoid the identity crisis that often follows a business sale.
-
Practical strategies to redefine success beyond just making more money.
If you’re planning your exit—or wondering what comes next—this conversation will challenge the way you think about life after selling.
