John Rood, author of Beyond The Exit and former founder of Next Step Test Preparation, joins Raman Sehgal to explore what it takes to build—and move on from—a successful business. They discuss scaling from services to software, preparing for a strong exit, and the emotional reality of life after a sale—where time, not money, becomes the true currency.
In this episode, Raman Sehgal sits down with John Rood. John is the author of Beyond The Exit, informed by interviews with 70+ post-exit entrepreneurs. Previously, John was founder of Next Step Test Preparation, a medical education platform. John lives in the Chicago area with his wife and two kids.
