A Successful Exit | Jonathan Sherrill

Description

In this episode, Jonathan Sherrill shares his journey from working in his father's Florida metal roofing company to helping lead its sale in 2010 — and then running the business for six more years before being let go under a non-compete. He and his father later launched a new steel company in Georgia, whose eventual sale far exceeded his expectations. After exiting, Jonathan struggled to redefine his identity amid the transition, which led him to launch Waypoint Founders. The firm helps entrepreneurs prepare for life after a business exit by grounding their emotions, mindset, and sense of purpose. He is also the co-author of The Extraordinary Exit, a book that explores how to navigate the exit process.
