The exit talks to operators who have bought and sold businesses of all different sizes. You learn how they did it, why they did it and get exposure to the world of exits.

It's a world occupied by a small few but accessible to many on this episode of the exit.

I sit down with Sasha more now. He's an awesome entrepreneur who had three successful exits and these are all very unique.

The first one was around domain registrars scaling from zero to a hundred million in revenue and going to an IPO.

And then with Feseal, he goes into government contracting and then at his current company that he's exited was called get my boat and is called get my globe.

And just the differences here in these different industries is such a true example of entrepreneurship of going in uncomfortable learning a brand new industry scaling it and exiting.

And he goes through a lot of really incredible pieces of advice for young people out there with so many years and such a great track record of multiple successful exits.

This one is definitely worth sitting through to the end. At the end of this, he goes into a real great deep dive on what it takes to be prepared for an exit that translates across all three of the exits that Sasha had.

And if that's how we're sitting through an interview, I don't know what is because these are very different businesses and these pieces of golden wisdom towards the end around being prepared for young people out there for older people out there for any entrepreneur out there.

You're going to want to listen to these ones. So without further ado, let's sit down here on the exit and talk to Sasha more now.

All right, I am here with Sasha more now and he is currently the co founder and CEO of get my boat. How's it going Sasha?

Good Steve. Thanks for having me. Yeah, I'm excited to really unpack multiple successes here. But before we get to that, let's talk about how you started. What's your origin story and how did you get into business?

Great question. They could probably take the entire half an hour. So I'll try and make it relatively brief. So I grew up in Northern California and went to school primarily on the west coast initially. I didn't know that I was interested in building businesses and entrepreneurship originally.

My path took me to Europe as a bartender for a while, but I wound up in Japan actually selling ice cream for a joint venture between a Japanese conglomerate and dryers ice cream.

And at that point, I started doing international business and I said we're doing marketing and I was looking to make career change. I went back to business school and realized that this was something I absolutely loved worked very briefly in what most people would think of and I did as well as a dream job in doing management for the national basketball association actually in New York City with a rotation for a year.

And then they were going to send me to Asia to run the Asian Pacific region for the National Basketball Association.

It wasn't right for me. I'll just leave it at that. A dream job was not actually a dream. And this was back in the late 90s. I joined my first startup, a technology startup.

At this time, domain names were just becoming fashionable as a way for people to get on the internet. And I joined the startup and took it public. I was the first employee there. They took venture capital. We took it public in 2000.
