She did it twice. And both times, the cost was higher than the check.\nIn this episode of Wall Street To Y'all Street, we sit down with a serial entrepreneur who built and sold two companies for over $100 million each — and hear the unfiltered truth about what those exits actually looked like behind the headlines. The deals that almost collapsed. The relationships that didn't survive. The identity crisis that hit harder the second time. And the lessons that only come from doing it twice.\nThis isn't a victory lap. It's a brutally honest conversation about what massive exits really do to the people who live through them — and what every founder needs to understand before they chase their own.\nWhether you're building toward your first exit, already in negotiations, or just fascinated by what happens when founders cash nine-figure checks — this is the conversation nobody else is having.\n🔑 In this episode:\n• What two $100M+ exits actually looked like — beyond the press release\n• The deal-killing moments that almost destroyed both sales\n• Why the second exit was harder than the first (and not for the reason you'd think)\n• The emotional and personal cost of building companies to sell\n• What this founder would do differently if she could go back\n• Hard-won lessons for any founder thinking about an exit\nFind Deb Purvin on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/debpurvin/\nLearn more about her company Business Owners MBA (BOMBA) at https://www.businessownersmba.com/\n🎙️ABOUT THE HOST: Joseph J.
