Max Lewis sold his company for $37 million in 2017. He wrote a book about building a business from nothing, but says the money felt abstract, just numbers on a screen. The host asks what it actually felt like to have that much in the bank after taxes.

My first question today is, who is Max Lewis? Tell us, who is Max Lewis?
You have to read the book to find out. Sorry. You know, people always ask you what your book is about. Now I define it as a self-help book for entrepreneurs. It's about my journey of starting a business from scratch and exiting it for $37 million in 2017. Wait a second, don't glaze over that.
What's it feel like, quickly, To see $37 million minus some taxes in your bank account?
For me, it didn't really feel like anything. It wasn't about the money. It was more about trying to accomplish my goal and helping people. So the money was like nothing, just numbers on a screen.
