What happens after you build a company, sell it for millions, and realize you're not done yet?

In this episode of The Road Less Traveled, host Tiffany Rosenbaum sits down with Sina Shekou to discuss the realities of entrepreneurship, acquisitions, failure, identity, and starting over.

Sina shares the story behind building Propertyware from the ground up, growing it into a multi-million-dollar SaaS company, and ultimately selling it to RealPage. He opens up about the emotional side of entrepreneurship, the challenges of due diligence, lessons learned from shutting down businesses, and why success is more about relationships than revenue.

Topics include:

• Building Propertyware from a real-world need
• The process of selling a company and navigating due diligence
• What entrepreneurs get wrong about exits
• Life after selling a business
• The emotional impact of failure and starting over
• Why team and relationships matter more than ever
• AI, innovation, and the future of business
• Lessons from AppFolio and entrepreneurship
• The importance of focus, patience, and long-term thinking
• Sina's favorite business book: The Alchemist

Whether you're building, buying, selling, or scaling a business, this conversation is packed with insights from someone who has experienced every stage of the entrepreneurial journey.
