Ep 172: "Founder Exits; The Startup Story few tell" with Lauren Gregor

Is an “exit” always every startup founder’s dream? What do most exits look like? What happens when your dream business becomes someone else’s? In this heartfelt conversation, Rob sits down here in Los Angeles, with Lauren Greger, founder of Rent-A-Romper, to unpack the emotional rollercoaster of building—and selling—a startup. They dive into the real cost of chasing success, what it takes to walk away, and why defining your own version of success might be the most important lesson of all.
