Sold a Company for $75M & Didn’t Get Paid 🤯 The Business Secrets They Don’t Tell Entrepreneurs

Sold a Company for $75M & Didn’t Get Paid 🤯 The Business Secrets They Don’t Tell Entrepreneurs

Author: iHeartPodcasts February 26, 2026 Duration: 1:11:44

This week on Earn Your Leisure, Jeff Frommer shares the real story behind building and selling his $75 million podcast production company — and why big exit headlines don’t always tell the full story. He opens up about waiting on $65 million in stock from the deal, the dark side of acquisitions, and why pushing for cash can protect your future.

 

We also break down why trust is the ultimate currency in business, when creators should negotiate equity, and why ownership is still the real American Dream. Plus, Jeff explains the vision behind Owm.ai and how it’s helping creators gain more leverage in the modern economy.
