Exit Paradox

Josh Payne. From $100M Exit to Fulfillment: Josh Payne’s Playbook

Welcome to Exit Paradox, where we explore what really happens after a successful business exit. I’m your host, Anastasia Koroleva. At some point post-exit, most of us ask the big question: How do I take care of my health, family, and wealth - without sacrificing my entrepreneurial ambitions? How do I build my next business without burnout? My guest today, Josh Payne, has developed fascinating insights and systems to do just that. Josh sold his company, Stack Commerce, for nearly $100 million 4 years ago. A huge milestone - but as all exited founders know, the real story starts after the deal is done. Today, he’s building again - but with a completely different approach. Josh isn’t optimizing for another massive exit. He’s after something bigger. So let’s see what we can learn from this fascinating man.
