In this segment of the YouTube video, the speaker shares personal reflections on life after selling a company. He notes that he stayed on with the business for a little over a year, discovered that he does not thrive under a boss or hierarchical structure, and consequently moved on to his current work. He emphasizes to other business owners the importance of having a clear plan for what they will do after a sale, urging them to think ahead about their next steps before finalizing the transaction.

The path that we take afterwards is, uh, it's always interesting. I mean, I, after I sold, I stayed for a little over a year as well. And, uh, you know, and I realized I was not so good at having a boss of, of any kind and, and that kind of a thing. And so that's when I started, you know, doing what I do now. But, but I always, I always emphasize like, hey, you've got to know what you're, you know, after you're selling, you've got to know what you're going to, right?
