In this episode of THE EXIT, I sit down with Marc Macleod — former CFO of Shopify and FreshBooks, founder of SurePath Capital, and the coach behind over $1B in successful exits — to uncover the real truth behind the startup exit process.

We talk about:

• The biggest mistakes founders make during an exit
• The psychology of selling your company (and what comes after)
• Why most earn-outs are traps
• How Marc built his post-exit life around mindfulness, purpose, and founder performance
• Tactical advice on aligning with acquirers and investment bankers
• Why your physical and mental health are the #1 growth tools as a founder

If you're building, scaling, or selling a venture-backed startup, this is the episode you can't afford to miss.
