Joanna Jensen on selling a business, life after exit, and rediscovering purpose

In this episode of Six Degrees of Purpose, we’re joined by prolific entrepreneur, adviser, author, and Chair of the EIS Association, Joanna Jensen.We explore her journey of building and ultimately selling Childs Farm - and what happens after the moment many founders spend years working towards. Joanna shares her candid reflections on life post-exit, from the emotional comedown to the process of rediscovering purpose beyond the business.We discuss what financial independence really means in practice, how it shapes freedom, identity and decision-making, and why the founder journey is often far more complex than it appears from the outside.This conversation is for anyone interested in how purpose evolves over time - whether you’re building, exiting, or simply thinking more deeply about what comes next in your wealth journey.
