 This week on The Exit, host Steve McGarry sits down with entrepreneur, CPA, and wealth strategist Cecilia “CeCe” Leung for a candid conversation about one of the most overlooked parts of selling a business: what happens after the deal closes. Drawing from more than 20 years of experience in finance, Wall Street, and advising founders through complex transactions, CeCe shares why so many entrepreneurs focus on valuation and due diligence while overlooking the emotional, personal, and identity shifts that often follow an exit.
 CeCe breaks down common mistakes founders make when preparing for a sale, from failing to think through post deal dynamics with private equity partners to overlooking succession planning and negotiating leverage. She also explores the deeper side of entrepreneurship, including founder burnout, setting boundaries, defining personal success, and why understanding why you want to sell may be just as important as the sale itself. Whether you are preparing for an exit or simply building toward one, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on creating both financial freedom and a meaningful life beyond business.
 
 Cecilia “CeCe” Leung is a CPA, entrepreneur, and founder of Rich & Sassy Wealth Strategies, where she helps founders and executives navigate high stakes moments including exits, IPOs, and major financial transitions. With more than 20 years of experience spanning Big Four firms, investment banking, and CFO leadership roles, CeCe combines financial strategy with a human centered approach to help leaders build wealth, make smarter decisions, and create success that lasts beyond the business.

In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast host Troy Trewin interviews Michèle Hecken shares how she built Alpha Translations into a global business serving top law firms while raising two young children after moving from Germany to Canada. She explains how creating systems and empowering her team allowed her to work just 4–10 hours a week for 15 years. Michèle reveals how her company was building early large language models long before today's AI boom and why she chose to sell instead of reinventing the business. She discusses the challenges of surviving the 2008 financial crisis, rebuilding stronger, and creating a company that could run without her involvement. Listeners will learn valuable lessons on leadership, delegation, mindset, business exits, and designing a business that supports the life they truly want. The Art of Offboarding: How to Transform Your Business to Run Without You by Michèle Hecken is a practical guide for entrepreneurs aiming to move away from day-to-day operations and create a business that runs independently. It focuses on the power of intentional delegation and structured exit from daily tasks to unlock greater freedom, focus, and sustainable growth. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Michèle Hecken, the hardest thing in growing a small business is cash flow. She explains that even when a business appears successful, owners constantly face decisions about where to invest money, whether new initiatives will generate returns, and how to maintain enough cash reserves to navigate uncertainty. Michèle believes that managing consistent cash flow is critical because it gives business owners the flexibility to experiment, survive challenges, and continue growing without putting the company at risk. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Michèle Hecken's favorite business book is Fierce Conversations by Susan Scott. She says the book had a significant impact on how she led her business, particularly in the areas of communication, feedback, and team culture. Michèle values its practical approach to having honest conversations, addressing issues early, and giving constructive feedback effectively. The book influenced her so much that she referenced some of its concepts and tools in her own book about helping entrepreneurs build businesses that can run without them. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Michèle Hecken recommends learning from a variety of sources rather than relying on a single resource. One podcast she particularly enjoys is the The Mel Robbins Podcast, praising Mel Robbins for her practical insights on mindset and personal growth. She also highly recommends John Warrillow and his podcast Built to Sell Radio, which features valuable lessons from business owners who have successfully scaled and exited their companies. Beyond podcasts, Michèle emphasizes continuous learning through books, coaching, entrepreneurial communities, and implementing what you learn, noting that the real value comes not from consuming information but from applying it to your business. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Michèle Hecken shares that the number one tool to grow a small business is your mindset. She believes that without the right mindset, even the best tools and strategies will fail you. She also highly recommends Fierce Conversations by Susan Scott for building honest communication and a strong team culture. Above all, she encourages every entrepreneur to trust themselves and filter every resource through the lens of what truly works for their own business. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Michèle Hecken shares that the advice she would give herself on day one of starting out in business is to trust yourself because you already know what the right thing is to do. She reflects that even though everyone told her she was crazy for doing things differently, her instincts always led her in the right direction. She also emphasizes giving yourself permission to be courageous and not spending too much money on consultants who may not always know your business better than you do.

Kathy Hilton stepped down last week from her role as Grand Marshal Icon at WeHo's 2026 pride. This week, more facts surfaced which seem to suggest there is more than originally thought to meet the eye. Speaking of RHOBH, Garcelle revealed, finally, the shocking secret reason she really quit RHOBH and it was not at all what anyone expected. No Sutton and the rest of the diamond holders, it does not have to do with you. Last, but not least, as Dorit's foreclosure was moved, yet again (Ok June 23rd, we see you), Dorit says Amanda Frances cannot have her house, says PK is fabricating a lot of financial facts about her and still, seems, a little disconnected with the true gravity of her financial situation. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: SQUARE - square.com/go/VELVET (Get $200 Off The Platform That Brings Payments, Operations & Insights Together In One Place To Help You Run Your Business)  WHATNOT - www.whatnot.com (Download The Whatnot App To Get Free Shipping On Your First Order To Live Shop on The US's #1 Live Shopping App)  TASKRABBIT - taskrabbit.com (Or On The Taskrabbit App Use Code Velvet For $15 Off Your First Tasker)  MYFITNESSPAL - podcasts.myfitnesspal.com (Use Code VELVET, All Upper Case Letters, For 15% Off The Premium App That Will Change Everything For You Regarding Fitness & Nutrition) ZENNI OPTICAL -  zenni.com/podcast (Use Code Podcast15 For 15% Off Your First Order Of The Most Affordable, Stylish Glasses and Sunglasses) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

You've spent years building your business. But what if you've already crossed the finish line — and nobody told you?Most business owners spend their entire careers trying to reach financial freedom. But there's a specific, calculable threshold — called The Freedom Point — where the net proceeds from selling your business would fund the rest of your life without financial worry. And the uncomfortable truth is: a lot of owners have already crossed it. They're still grinding, still taking on risk, still saying "five more years" — without realizing they've technically already won.In this episode, CFP® David Chudyk breaks down The Freedom Point framework, walks through the exact math to calculate yours, and explains why so many smart, successful business owners stay past it without a plan — and what that costs them.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat The Freedom Point is — and the precise formula to calculate itWhy your business growing could actually be increasing your financial risk (not reducing it)The "4 D's" that can destroy business value overnight — and why none of them care about your timelineHow to figure out if you've already crossed your Freedom Point using a 7-step frameworkWhat your options are once you've crossed it (hint: selling isn't the only one)The three psychological traps that keep smart owners grinding past the point of financial freedomWhy "one more year" syndrome might be the most expensive story you're telling yourselfEpisode Timestamps[0:00] — Cold Open: What if you've already won?[2:00] — What is The Freedom Point?[6:00] — Meet Tim: The business owner with 80% concentration risk[11:00] — The 4 D's: Death, Disability, Divorce, Departure[15:00] — How to calculate your own Freedom Point (7-step framework)[20:00] — What to do when you've crossed the line: 4 options[24:00] — Why smart owners stay too long: Identity, One More Year Syndrome, Fear of Irrelevance[28:00] — The free tool to calculate your Freedom Point todayThe Freedom Point FormulaThe Freedom Point is reached when:(Value of Outside Investments) + (Net Proceeds from Business Sale) > (Desired Annual Income × 33)Here's how to run it yourself:Step 1: Estimate the annual income that would make you feel completely financially freeStep 2: Multiply by 33 (based on a conservative 3% withdrawal rate)Step 3: Calculate your wealth outside your business — investments, rental properties, brokerage accounts (not your primary residence)Step 4: Get a realistic business valuation estimateStep 5: Subtract the frictional cost of selling — taxes, broker commissions (~10–12%), legal fees (~2%)Step 6: Add back any long-term business debt you'd need to pay off at closingStep 7: If Steps 3 + 5 exceed Step 2, you've reached The Freedom PointExample: If you want $150,000/year of income, you need $4.95M in total investable assets. If your business would net $4M after selling costs and you have $1M outside the business — you've crossed it.The 4 D's Every Business Owner Needs to KnowThese four events can destroy business value overnight — and none of them are in your control:Divorce — Especially devastating when both spouses work in the business or when business value becomes contested in settlementDeparture — A key partner, co-founder, or critical employee leaves, triggering buy-sell agreements and operational disruptionDisability — You become unable to work; most disability policies protect income, not business valueDeath — Your beneficiaries inherit a business they don't know how to run, often resulting in forced sales at the worst possible timeWhy Smart Owners Stay Past The Freedom PointThe math alone doesn't explain why successful business owners keep grinding after they've technically won. David breaks down three psychological forces:Identity: When the business is who you are, the idea of stepping back feels like erasing yourself — not a financial decision at allOne More Year Syndrome: The goal line keeps moving. $2M becomes $3M becomes $5M. Every milestone reveals the next one. The exit that was "five years away" has been five years away for fifteen years.Fear of Irrelevance: The quiet one. Not afraid of selling — afraid of what comes after. Who are you without the title, the team, and the 8am calendar?"The biggest threat to your financial freedom isn't market risk. It's the story you're telling yourself about who you are without the business."Your Options Once You've Crossed The Freedom PointSell a Minority Stake — Take chips off the table while keeping control; often done with private equity in a minority recapitalizationSell a Majority Stake — Significant liquidity event now, keep some equity, continue running the business under new ownershipEarn-Out Exit — Full sale with a 1–3 year transition; ideal if you're ready to step back in the next three to five yearsStay and Build Around the Risk — Keep building, but do it intentionally: key person insurance, a funded buy-sell, disability coverage, and a real succession planCalculate Your Freedom Point — Free ToolDon't guess where you stand.

After it, risk is how you lose what you've already built.""Tim diversifies his 401(k) like a pro. But 80% of his net worth is a single, illiquid, non-publicly-traded asset. That's not diversification. That's concentration in a tuxedo.""One more year syndrome feels responsible. But what it often is — if we're honest — is a way of avoiding a decision you're not emotionally ready to make.""The Freedom Point isn't a feeling. It's a formula. And once you run the math, you can't unsee what it shows you."Who This Episode Is ForThis episode is essential listening if you are:A business owner with a company worth $1M or more wondering if you're "there yet" financiallyAn entrepreneur approaching your 50s who hasn't run a real exit planning calculationA high earner whose business represents more than 50% of your total net worthAnyone who has said "I'll sell when the business hits $X" — and then moved the goalpostA spouse or partner of a business owner trying to understand the financial risk your household is carryingResources & Related EpisodesPersonal Readiness to Exit (Prescore) — Free AssessmentVision Call — Free 20-Minute Strategy SessionSellability Score — Free Business Valuation AssessmentRelated: Ep. 264 — Is Your CPA Only Looking in the Rearview Mirror?

In this episode of The Horn, Alan speaks with Babatunde Afolabi, former Africa Director at the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue (HD), now Director of Political Affairs at the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Commission, about mediation and conflict resolution in the Horn of Africa. They discuss HD's discreet work facilitating dialogue between conflict parties, and why the Horn's history, politics and geopolitics make regional cooperation such a challenge. They turn to Ethiopia's Tigray region, where the Pretoria agreement that halted two years of devastating war risks unravelling, and to Oromia, where HD- and IGAD-facilitated talks between the government and the Oromo Liberation Army came close to a deal before collapsing. They also discuss Sudan's hard-to-resolve war, prospects for dialogue with Al-Shabaab in Somalia, and why locally grounded dialogue remains essential to ending wars.For more, check out our Horn of Africa page.

Most business owners can name the exit they think they want, but far fewer can clearly explain the problem they are trying to solve. Jason Miller and Makenzie Wirth dig into the 10 powerful questions every owner should ask themselves before choosing an ESOP, a management buyout, or a third-party sale, because transition problems usually start with incomplete questions, not bad intentions. From uncovering hidden risks and leadership gaps to evaluating succession readiness, personal goals, and the true value of the business beyond the owner, these questions reveal what's really happening beneath the surface. This conversation will help you gain clarity, preserve your options, and build a stronger foundation for a successful transition. If you want a clearer path through exit planning, business succession, and ESOP readiness, hit play and bring these questions to your next advisor meeting. 

Jeremy Lin joins Carmelo Anthony, The Kid Mero and Kazeem Famuyide on 7PM in Brooklyn for one of the most requested conversations in show history. After more than a decade of rumors, debates and unfinished narratives, Jeremy and Melo sit down face-to-face to talk through Linsanity, the Knicks locker room, the pressure of New York, the jealousy narrative, the “ridiculous contract” comment, the Houston offer, and why Jeremy says his Knicks exit crushed him. Melo opens up about what it felt like trying to return from injury while the team was changing overnight, and Jeremy explains what he was carrying as a player still fighting just to stay in the league. The crew also gets into Jeremy's return to Madison Square Garden, the Kobe Bryant game, the business of basketball, the media stories that followed both of them, and why this conversation was bigger than choosing sides.

Robert Dow buys and sells raw land across Texas and Oklahoma — mostly sight unseen, almost entirely through direct mail. It's a lean operation built on a simple idea: take infrastructure you already have and point it at a new market. In this conversation, we get into his direct mail philosophy (why novelty beats clever copywriting, why your letter should be about the reader and not you), how he thinks about capital structure and tax efficiency, and his take on AI — that it's a powerful tool but not a durable moat. The edge still comes from domain expertise and knowing immediately which option is worth keeping. We also get into personal finance: a self-directed Roth IRA structure that's quietly been one of his best investments, and why most founders shouldn't be doing private deals.

Today’s episode is a long-awaited return visit from Jeremy Schneider of Personal Finance Club. Five years ago, Jeremy joined us fresh off selling his tech company for over $5 million, already retired at 36, and just starting to build what would become one of the most trusted personal finance Instagram accounts online. Today, he has 700k followers, has grown his net worth to roughly $7 million, almost entirely from index fund growth, and has launched a brand new company called Nectarine. Nectarine is a marketplace of flat-fee financial advisors with no commissions, no assets under management fees, just transparent pricing listed directly on the site. Jeremy explains how it works, who it’s actually for (and who probably doesn’t need it), and why he’s been building the whole thing in public. You’ll also hear Why the most important piece of the “how to get rich” pie chart isn’t what you invest in What the Dunning-Kruger curve looks like for the average investor Why the best investors might just be the ones who forget they have an account And much more!

Most lawyers build their firms to serve clients, not to eventually leave them. But every law firm owner will exit someday, whether by choice, necessity, or life change.  In episode 622 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Zack Glaser talks with Tom Lenfestey, attorney, CPA, and founder of The Law Practice Exchange, about why exit planning should not be treated as something reserved for retirement. Tom explains why succession planning often feels like the end, while exit planning gives firm owners more control over their future, their value, and their next act.  They explore what makes a law firm transferable, why systems and data matter to buyers, and how lawyers can build firms that are worth more than just the owner's name. Tom also breaks down how the market for law firm sales is changing, from private capital to alternative business structures, and why modern buyers are looking closely at financials, intake, marketing, operations, and owner independence.  If you own a law firm, this conversation is a reminder that your firm can be more than a job you built for yourself. With the right planning, it can become an asset, a legacy, and a bridge to whatever comes next.  Links from the episode: https://thelawpracticeexchange.com/  https://a.co/d/05rY2bUe  Listen to our previous episodes on Law Firm Exits & Succession.  #568: How to Build a Law Firm You Can Sell, with Victoria L.

Nick sits down with Alan Smith, the founder and CEO of Capital Partners, to strip away the dry spreadsheets of traditional wealth management and focus on the human side of financial freedom.  Alan argues that true wealth isn't just about collecting assets, but about defining your "freedom number"—the exact, personalised amount needed to fund your ideal lifestyle without future financial worry.  By prioritising personal values, family dynamics, and a clear perfect average day framework over basic investment returns, the duo reveals how business owners can reverse-engineer their exit goals, protect their families, and enter future negotiations with unshakeable confidence. KEY TAKEAWAYS True wealth planning should start years before an exit by calculating a highly personalised "freedom number" based on your ideal life, rather than relying on arbitrary round figures. Traditional wealth management prioritises asset gathering and standard returns, but effective planning shifts the focus to what the money is actually for, including family security and lifestyle design. Success should be reverse-engineered by mapping out a sustainable, ideal daily routine—such as a perfect Tuesday—and determining the exact economic resources required to fund it continuously. Knowing your exact financial requirements allows you to enter business exit negotiations with absolute conviction, an established walk-away number, and a minimised risk of leaving millions on the table. BEST MOMENTS "As much as I can help a founder build a more valuable company, I'm not an expert in the wealth side of things. And the best way to look at this is... you've got to have a plan around that."  "If you really distill it all down, what we're all looking for, I believe, is financial freedom. Financial independence. A work-optional lifestyle."  "It's not a day you're sitting on the beach drinking piña coladas all day... it's got to be a day that you'd be happy to repeat for the rest of your life, every day."  "So many of winning the game when you sell to a sophisticated buyer is posturing... and you've got to be able to compete before you can win."

Private credit headlines have been anxiety-inducing — but not all corners of private markets face the same pressures. Roughly $4 trillion in equity investments remain inside private equity funds awaiting exits, many acquired at elevated valuations during the low-rate era. For providers of scaled, flexible capital that sits between traditional debt and equity, that pressure creates opportunity.   On this episode of Disruptive Forces, host Anu Rajakumar speaks with David Lyon, Managing Director and Head of Capital Solutions at Neuberger, who oversees approximately $10 billion in assets. Together, they discuss: What Capital Solutions is, and what it is not Why the panic around private credit and BDCs may be overstated How AI uncertainty is reshaping software valuations but has yet to trigger widespread defaults What separates hybrid capital from continuation vehicles and distressed investing Where the real opportunities sit for sponsors under pressure to generate DPI What investors should demand from managers in the hybrid capital space   This communication is provided for informational and educational purposes only and nothing herein constitutes investment, legal, accounting or tax advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell or hold a security.

The Networking Conversation Strategy That Leads to Clients   Have you ever been at a networking event and completely blanked when someone asked, "So, what do you do?"   Or maybe you found yourself rambling through an explanation of your business, hoping the other person would somehow connect the dots and become a client.   In this episode of the Sales Maven Show, Nikki Rausch shares a simple yet powerful communication framework to transform the way you approach networking conversations.   Instead of feeling pressured to deliver the perfect elevator pitch, Nikki introduces a practical NLP-based strategy called TOTE: Test, Operate, Test, Exit.   The goal is not to pitch harder. The goal is to create enough curiosity with the right people so that conversations naturally move to the next step.   Nikki explains how to answer the "What do you do?" question in a way that sparks interest, how to recognize buying signals when they show up, and how to confidently extend invitations without feeling pushy or salesy. She also shares a real-life story about a networking connection that became a coaching client after multiple invitations all in one conversation.   When networking feels awkward, forced, or unproductive, this episode offers a new approach to conversations with more confidence, strategy, and ease.   In this episode, learn:   Why your networking conversations should focus on curiosity, not pitching How to use the TOTE framework in real-time conversations A better way to answer the question, "What do you do?" How to recognize buying signals during networking events Why short, concise responses create better engagement How to issue invitations without feeling pushy The role persistence plays in turning conversations into clients     A question to consider: Are you trying to impress people at networking events? Or are you creating enough curiosity for the right people to want to know more?   Selling gets easier when you stop trying to perform and start paying attention. Listen in to learn how a simple framework allows you to navigate networking conversations with confidence while creating more opportunities for meaningful client relationships.   Did this episode resonate with you?

 With host retail coach Wendy Batten   https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/   Episode Overview We have officially reached the middle of the year, and now is the perfect time to pause for just a few minutes to take an honest look at what we're building. Beyond reviewing numbers and planning for the months ahead, I want to pose a bigger question: is your business becoming a valuable asset, or have you simply created a job (that you love!) for yourself? In this episode, I share my thoughts around long-term business value. Could you sell your business right now? Whether selling your business feels years away or not something you've considered yet, the decisions you make now will impact the flexibility, profitability, and sustainability of your business in the future.  A midyear review is about more than looking backward. It's an opportunity to make sure your business is healthy, organized, and positioned to support the life you want while creating options for the future. I talk so much about my desire to work with retailers who plan their lives first. We want to be building businesses that support our lives, not running our lives to support our businesses. So let's talk about it! Our Key Topics Why a midyear review should go beyond sales and goals to evaluate what kind of business you're building How owner dependency impacts the value, sustainability, and future saleability of a business What profitability, cash flow, and clean financials reveal about overall business health Why inventory management plays a critical role in maintaining business value How documented systems and operational processes create stability and freedom for owners What distinguishes a hobby business from a profitable, sellable lifestyle business and why that difference matters   Key Takeaways For Shop Owners on Midyear Checkins 1. Know what you're actually building. A midyear review should go beyond sales numbers and goals. It's important to understand whether you're creating a business that can operate independently or whether the business relies entirely on YOU physically being in the shop to do all of the things. 2. A healthy business is built on more than revenue. Strong sales alone do not create value. If you are not profitable, if your cash flow is struggling, if you have no idea where your money is going; revenue doesn't mean much at all.  3. Systems create freedom. When knowledge, processes, and decision-making live only in the owner's head, everything is harder for everyone. Documented systems allow responsibilities to be shared, delegated, and sustained over time.  4. Inventory deserves regular attention. Inventory may appear as an asset on paper, but aging or stale inventory can tie up cash and reduce flexibility. Reviewing inventory regularly helps keep merchandise fresh and aligned with customer demand.  5. Start preparing before you need to. Many retailers wait until they are tired, ready to retire, or facing unexpected life circumstances before thinking about selling their business. Building business value is an ongoing process that creates more options and less stress in the future. Small steps added up make a huge difference when it comes time to sell. "Exit planning has to start before you get tired." - Wendy Batten I'm working through my midyear review right now and reminding myself that perfection is not the goal.
