E23: On Episode 23 of the Cashing Out podcast, we have a special guest, good friend, and founder of MaxPreps, Andy Beal.  In 2002, Andy launched MaxPreps which became one of America's top sports media properties, and it was the pre-eminent online source for high school schedules, scores, statistics, and video highlights.  In 2007, Andy made the decision to sell MaxPreps to CBS Interactive for $43M.  Andy stayed on with MaxPreps serving as its President for the next 13 years until he left CBS in 2020.In today's conversation Andy and I talk about the debate over selling MaxPreps instead of raising more capital, and how having a great Board of Directors can help set you up for a really successful exit.  A few episode highlights:(10:08) ...
