Peter shares how his scenic, eight-year exit journey created space for new ventures, empowered employees, and protected the company's B Corp values. The episode is a roadmap for any founder looking to exit with both financial return and community impact. 🔑 Key Highlights The Long Game: Peter's exit took 8 years - twice the time he spent actively running the business. He stayed in a governance role and planned a patient, values-aligned transition. First in Canada: Grantbook became the first Canadian company to officially transition to an Employee Ownership Trust on Jan 1, 2025. This structure ensures lasting impact and local wealth-building. The Emotional Return on Exit: For Peter, legacy outweighed liquidity. He prioritized a fair price while choosing a structure that would protect jobs, uphold mission, and keep culture intact. Mistakes Made and Lessons Learned: He reflects candidly on tax structuring choices that impacted capital gains exemptions - and offers advice for others planning ahead. New Chapter with Unwrapit: Peter is now growing a digital gifting company, Unwrapit, which aligns social impact with user choice and sustainability. Fun, Frank Advice from Peter Deitz: \"Start early. The longer the runway, the more control you have. And if you go the employee ownership route, you'll be met by very happy employees - and a thriving community.\" ☕ Curious if an Employee Ownership Trust might be your best path forward?
