What Comes Next: Founders, Exits, and the Future of AI
Chris Hornbecker — What Comes Next: Founders, Exits, and the Future of AI
In this episode of Amplified CEO, Richard Stroupe sits down with Chris Hornbecker, a serial founder and former tech CEO with multiple successful exits, including companies like Xgility and Solutions Developers.
Together, they explore what life looks like after building and selling a business — from identity shifts to the search for purpose beyond the exit. They talk candidly about the realities many founders face but rarely discuss, including self-doubt and the drive to “do it again.”
They also dig into the rise of AI and what it means for the future of leadership and innovation. Chris offers an optimistic view on how technology is evolving — and why those who choose to adapt can thrive in the years ahead.
