What Selling an 8-Figure Business Taught Him About Wealth

Selling a successful business can create life-changing wealth, but the check is only part of the story. In this episode of Commercial Real Estate Secrets, Aviva Sonenreich sits down with Kory Mitchell, founder of Iconic Founders Group, to unpack what he learned growing a family environmental services company to 37 offices, 1,400 employees, and hundreds of millions in revenue before selling it. Kory shares the emotional side of exiting, why he kept the real estate, how leverage changed the way he thinks about growth, and what business owners often misunderstand about private equity, environmental due diligence, and preparing a company for sale. If you own a business, warehouse, or both, this conversation offers a practical look at building wealth before, during, and after an exit. Buying, selling, or leasing industrial real estate?
