Lots of winners.
And also, for anyone who does ever go and sell a business and you get eight figures in your bank account one day, you feel a lot less guilty when there's people around you that are also jumping up and down because they're paying their mortgages off or they're buying a new car or whatever it is that they wanted to do.
About a year before the exit...
we hired a new C-suite of the whole team because I knew that at exit, I couldn't be the center of attention because that wasn't going to be sustainable for the longer term.
So we hired a brilliant C-suite and it was a really diverse group of people, about 15 people in total that we had across the senior and director team.
That was the future team.
And actually for any entrepreneur who goes to try and hire their own replacement, a CEO, that's also an interesting endeavor to go down.
they'll never be as good as you are and try and see the best in them.
But also, you don't have to be their best friend, right?
If I may be crass, they're there to perform a function so you can exit.
So whether you entirely agree with what they're doing and whether you think they're absolutely perfect, your opinion is sort of irrelevant now.
What's relevant is how are they going to be seen to investors in the future so these things can work.
And that is a really important piece of advice.
It's difficult to take.
Because especially with men being men, it's difficult for us to think other men might be able to do what we do in a different way.
So, yeah, we did that.
And we hired a great team.
And I agreed to stay on as a non-exec as part of the deal.
So I didn't want to leave entirely.
Vice.
