Exactly. Well put. If you as a CEO feel burnt out etc and can't be bothered anymore to run the company and can't find a buyer, but the folks who joined your company are still invested because they believe in the vision, then let them buy the company from you. I'm sure some arrangement could have been made, even if you're not getting the millions you were expecting. At least you'd protect your personal brand when you go and do your next venture. But the way Ryan handled this is really poor - especially those sailing boat shots, while his employees had to worry about finding the next job. Poor leadership and he totally burnt his personal brand imo. Edit: typos / clarity
