In this episode of the Finish Big Podcast, Host Mark Dorman sits down with longtime friend and exit strategist Robert "Bob" Hothem, founder of Exit with Satisfaction.
After building one of the largest TAB (The Alternative Board) franchises in the world — growing to 68 members and seven boards — Bob strategically exited his own business and launched a new venture focused on helping owners prepare emotionally and strategically for their exit.
Mark and Bob discuss:
-
Self-limiting beliefs
-
The emotional side of entrepreneurship
-
Why most owners wait too long to start exit planning
-
The danger of identity being tied to your business
-
And why "when the circus leaves town" is the hardest moment for many founders
If you're a business owner anywhere between $1M–$8M in revenue — this conversation is for you.
