In this episode of What's Your Deal? , Matt Uhler sits down with Paul Hickey , CEO of Legacy Wealth Management, to talk about one of the most overlooked parts of business ownership: what comes next after the exit. Paul shares insights from decades of experience in global finance, investment banking, IPOs, mergers and acquisitions, and entrepreneurship. Together, Matt and Paul unpack why so many business owners focus on getting out of the business but fail to prepare for life after the sale. They discuss the emotional side of exit planning, the identity shift many owners face, how to avoid blowing through hard-earned wealth, and why creating a life plan is just as important as creating a financial plan. Paul also explains the value of starting early, building a team before the sale, and using strategic planning to reduce taxes and generate sustainable income after an exit. This is a valuable conversation for business owners who want to sell wisely, protect their future, and build a true legacy for the next generation.
