In this episode of ConvHERsations with Kristie, business coach and inVantage founder Kelly Renz joins Kristie for a powerful discussion about one of the most timely and important topics facing business owners today: selling your business.

Drawing from her deep experience working with companies through both acquisitions and exits, Kelly shares why more owners are starting to ask themselves, “What do I really want from this business—and from my life?” She and Kristie explore what it means to build a business that’s truly ready for sale, not just on paper but in practice. From culture alignment to leadership readiness, they highlight the less-talked-about side of selling: the emotional process, the identity shift for owners, and the responsibility leaders have to set their teams up for success.

They also dive into the difference between clinical, transactional sales and enriching, people-first transitions. Kelly shares what trends she’s seeing in the market, how business owners can begin getting informed about their valuation, and why running a business like it’s always for sale is a smart and strategic mindset—whether you plan to sell or not.

This episode is packed with wisdom for founders, fractional leaders, and anyone thinking about long-term value. And in the closing moments, Kelly offers heartfelt responses about the women who have inspired her, the future generation she hopes to uplift, and why empowering women leaders is more important than ever.
