When the Exit Isn’t the End


TL;DR — Most founders talk about building and scaling, but what happens after the exit? Amanda Kahlow stepped away from her role at 6sense and discovered something even more powerful: the space to reinvent, rebuild, and come back stronger. This week’s episode is a rare, honest look at what happens when a CEO chooses to pause—and what it takes to lead again with intention. Listen on Apple or Spotify.


Hi Reader,

As CEOs, we rarely stop to ask: “What if the next big thing isn’t scaling, but stepping away?

That’s exactly what Amanda Kahlow did. After founding and growing 6sense into a powerhouse, Amanda left. Not to jump into another company—but to focus on becoming a mom. IVF. Adoption. Years of trying. And a personal journey that changed everything.

But she didn’t stay away for long.

In this week’s episode, Amanda shares how that season of stepping back fueled a whole new kind of leadership—and the launch of her latest venture, 1mind. It’s a story about choosing what matters, finding clarity, and building a business that reflects your values and vision.

Amanda’s story is a powerful reminder: the most meaningful growth often happens off the balance sheet.

Reinvention starts when we make space for it.
