How To Build a Sellable Business with Carrie Kerpen from The Whisper Group


Listen Later

In this episode of Entreprenista, we sat down with Carrie Kerpen, founder of The Whisper Group, an exit readiness practice for women-owned businesses. Carrie previously co-founded Likeable Media, one of the first social media agencies, which she successfully sold for eight figures in 2021. Carrie is an accomplished author and hosts "The Exit Whisperer" podcast, which features women who have scaled and sold businesses. As a Certified Exit Planning Advisor, she is passionate about helping women entrepreneurs transform their businesses into valuable assets. Carrie has served as a mentor to Entreprenista for the past decade, and she continues to inspire with her unwavering commitment to empowering women in business, offering invaluable insights for those looking to achieve life-changing exits. Now, Carrie is leading our agency owner power groups inside the Entreprenista League. Tune in to hear why we consider Carrie our business guardian angel, what she plans to teach in her upcoming power groups, and how she and her husband threw a sponsored wedding at a ballpark that was covered by the New York Times.
