52. Selling a Business the Right Way: Protecting Legacy, People & Profit

Hosts Jake Wayman and Sam Foreman sit down with Kevon Saber, an expert in guiding sellers through successful exits, to discuss how business owners can prepare for a successful and meaningful sale. Kevon emphasizes that selling a business goes far beyond price—it’s about safeguarding relationships, values, and legacy. He highlights the need to start planning at last one to two years in advance, clearly define goals, and avoid the common “deadly assumptions” that lead to disappointment. The discussion also delves into the emotional side of selling, exploring how entrepreneurs can maintain a sense of identity, mission, and purpose after exiting their business.
