The CEO Sage

The Most Overlooked Step Between Leading and Leaving


Listen Later

What's your plan for the business you've worked so hard to build?

After walking through all seven transitions in the Beyond the CEO series, Kris is turning her focus to what comes next: the tactical and strategic steps every founder must take to ensure the business can run—and even thrive—without her constant presence.

This isn't just about getting through today's to-do list. It's about preparing your business, your team, and yourself for what's ahead—whether that's scaling, exiting, or simply reclaiming more of your life. Because the truth is, too many women wait until they're burned out before asking the hard questions: Is my business ready? Am I ready? What happens after this season ends?

Here's what we explore:
  • Why a team audit is as essential as cleaning out your closet
  • The leadership shift from telling to asking—and how it changes everything
  • How to capture your wisdom and IP so others can use it without you
  • The possibility of creating generational wealth through an exit
  • Why retirement isn't the end—it's a call to design a future with purpose

This episode is your invitation to stop avoiding the practical steps and start laying the foundation for a business you can lead and leave. Because the earlier you prepare, the more options you have—and the more freedom you create to design what's next.
