Self-Care for a Stronger Business Exit with Eric D. Coonrod

Self-Care for a Stronger Business Exit with Eric D. Coonrod

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Eric D. Coonrod, a boutique investment banker, to unpack the entrepreneurial mindset behind scaling a company and selling it without burning out. This episode gets real about why exits can feel like an identity shock, how deal stress quietly tanks decision quality, and why psychological readiness should be treated like a core KPI alongside valuation. Eric breaks down exit paths like full sale vs majority recap, then shares practical ways founders can protect sleep, health, and relationships while navigating diligence, negotiation, and team communication.

About the Guest:

Eric D. Coonrod is a 20-year investment banking veteran involved in 100+ transactions across healthcare, food and beverage, VMS, and sports. He is the founder of E. Coonrod and Company, LLC, advising founders on deals, debt, and capital raises with a full-stack approach that includes tax, communications, and personal health awareness.

Key Takeaways:
  • Selling a business can hit harder emotionally than founders expect because the company often becomes their identity.

  • A big exit check does not automatically fix burnout. It can even amplify it if you have no plan post-deal.

  • Prep for the exit should include psychological readiness, not just financial readiness and deal structure.

  • Consider exit options early. A majority recap can reduce admin burden while keeping you close to the work you actually love.

  • Neglecting self-care during a sale increases poor decisions. Deal fatigue is real and it kills outcomes.

  • The sale process adds major weekly workload on top of running operations. Protect your health to protect judgment.

  • Keep a non-negotiable wellness anchor. Training, walking, or family time keeps mental clarity stable under pressure.

  • Employees fear layoffs and culture shifts. Timing and messaging matter, so disclose only when the deal is mature.

  • Coach the transition narrative with the buyer. Clear reassurance reduces churn and stabilizes performance pre-close.

  • Post-exit peace requires an actual plan. Define what you will do in the first 6 months and what comes after.
