#116: Life After a 9-Figure Exit

⁠https://nextlevelhomepros.com/june25thworkshop⁠

Welcome to a new episode of The Founder Podcast! In this episode, Chris and Levi discuss the journey from running a successful business to navigating the complexities of a nine-figure exit. They share personal stories and lessons learned during this major life transition. The conversation touches on the emotional and practical aspects of stepping away from a daily operational role, dealing with sudden wealth, and finding new purpose and motivation.

Highlights:
"What would you do if one day you sold your business for millions of dollars and the next day you woke up with that kind of money in your bank account?"

"It felt like it was always six months out... there's just so many things that you just can't account for."

"I went from working 60 hours a week to zero, essentially zero."

"Ultimately, that's where The Founder Podcast was born because I'm like, Dude, I need something that gets me excited and gets me out of bed."
