Podcast 233: Exit Smarter: The role of CEO Peer Groups in Business Transitions

In this week’s episode, we sit down with Tina Corner Stolz, founder of LXCouncil and author of Your Seat at the Table, for an insightful conversation about the power of peer advisory groups in exit planning. Selling a business is one of the biggest financial and personal transitions an owner will ever face, and having a strong peer network can make all the difference.

Tina shares her journey from corporate leadership to building one of the largest peer group facilitation firms. She offers valuable insights on how business owners can use peer groups to gain clarity, drive enterprise value, and make informed decisions. She explains how surrounding yourself with like-minded leaders creates a space for problem-solving, accountability, and strategic thinking, helping owners avoid common pitfalls and stay focused on long-term success.

We also explore how peer groups can help business owners engage the right advisors, structure their transition plans effectively, and prepare financially and emotionally for what comes next. Tina highlights the importance of fit when choosing a peer group and how a well-matched group can provide not only expert guidance but also the motivation to take action. She also shares real-life success stories of business owners who have navigated their exits with the support of peer networks.

Whether you are years away from selling or actively planning your next steps, this discussion provides actionable insights to help you transition on your terms and maximize the value of your exit!
