You Sold the Company… Now What? The King of Exits: Eddie Wilson on Life After the Exit #236 If you think a big exit will finally make you happy, this episode might change your mind. I’m sitting down with Eddie Wilson — the “King of Exits.” He’s owned 120+ companies, built the Empire Operating System used by 3,000+ businesses, launched the Aspire Tour, and feeds and educates 5,000+ kids a day through his foundation. We talk about: The journey from operator → CEO → true owner Why most founders become the ceiling in their own business How Eddie decides which companies to buy (and why he buys successes, not turnarounds) Exits, identity, and finding purpose beyond the money If you’re building, buying, or selling businesses — and you care about what it all means as much as what it makes — this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Unemployable with Jeff Dudan, I sit down with Shaun Clark, co-founder of HighLevel (Go High Level), the CRM that quietly scaled to millions of businesses by doing one thing differently: building with a community of elite marketers instead of selling software straight to small business owners.
