Life After the Exit

Stepping away from your company should feel like freedom — so why does it feel like free-fall? Executive coach Jeff Munn joins Blake Johnson to unpack the emotional crash so many founders face after selling their business. From identity loss to the search for purpose, Jeff explains why massive exits often create a "valley of despair" — and how leaders can prepare long before the wire hits their account. He also shares insights on raising grounded kids, breaking generational money stories, and redefining legacy beyond the balance sheet. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the hardest part of selling your company isn't the money — it's who you become after How to prepare before the exit so you're running toward something, not away What founders get wrong about struggle, purpose, and happiness (and how to rewire it) How to build resilient kids without manufacturing fake hardship Jeff's message is a powerful reminder: the life you want next requires a decision — not more data.
