We Almost Died 4 Times Before Selling For $2.3 Billion w/ Todd Davis
Todd Davis built LifeLock from a 7-person call center into a $2.3 billion acquisition by Symantec... and nearly lost the company 4 times along the way. Get The Exit Code Blueprint (Free): https://exitcodeblueprint.com/ This conversation between Jason Sisneros and Todd Davis breaks down the decisions, mistakes, and pivots that kept LifeLock alive through FTC battles, a CMO who blew the budget by $2M, and a single day that erased $1 billion in market cap. What's covered: → The "decisive point" framework Todd used to cut through 3,000 distractions and focus the whole company on one number → Why giving out his Social Security number on live TV was a calculated risk, not a stunt — and how it filled the call center before he got back to his car → The $24M legal fight that nearly killed LifeLock at over $100M in revenue — and why Todd picked Goldman Sachs specifically to "fight dirty" when it came → What it looked like the Sunday before telling 700 employees they were going to war with the FTC → Why only 3.5% of businesses that go to market actually close — and what the 93% miss

Why You Stop Short (When Other Business Owners Never Give Up) w/ Mairin Moore Cane
In this episode of Built to Exit, host Jason Sisneros talks with Mairin Moore Kane about how leaders can define themselves regardless of circumstance and why the story of your life is shaped by the decisions you make when everything seems to be going wrong. They cover Mairin’s journey from running multiple businesses across several states to being bedridden for three years with chronic illness, the identity crisis that can happen when productivity disappears, and how leaders often tie their worth to performance until life forces them to rethink everything. They also talk about the turning point that changed everything for Mairin. In the middle of her lowest moment, she realized that even though everything around her was falling apart, she could still decide how her story would end. That decision reshaped her leadership, her purpose, and the way she now helps others rise through adversity.
The Private Equity Survival Guide: You MUST Win Before You Sell (w/ John Leonetti)
In this episode of Built to Exit, host Jason Sisneros talks with John Leonetti about how owners can sell a business without getting blindsided in diligence, pricing, or terms. They cover why selling a business is a “no do-over” process, how buyers think, and what owners can do now to protect price and reduce deal risk: get the business less tied to the owner, keep clean books that a lender can follow, and build a team that can run day-to-day without the founder in every decision. They also talk about the personal side of a sale, including how owners handle the shift after closing, plus a straight view on AI and why it is already changing competition and buyer questions.
