Dan Reich: "Business is a video game." I asked Dan Reich who has sold four companies to Salesforce, Buddy Media, and Procter & Gamble: "Why are you still building companies instead of retiring and riding off into the sunset?" He shared a conversation with a fellow serial entrepreneur: CEO: “Do you still play video games? Dan: “Yeah, I do still play video games." CEO: “So do I. But this business is a video game, and it’s a game that other people gave me money to play. If I win, not only will I make them money, I’ll make money too. And I love the video game.” Dan reflects on this analogy: Dan: “He was right. The journey is the prize. I tell everyone I have a career conversation with: People who optimize for money are not happy, and people who optimize for happiness end up finding money.” In this episode, Dan dives into: • His transition from 4x founder to building a venture studio. • His playbook for building companies. • His advice for navigating a post-exit journey.
