From Corporate Executive to Entrepreneur: The Real Side of Building a Business with Sean Jones
Description
In this episode of 9–5 Exit Plan, I sit down with entrepreneur, author, speaker, and former corporate executive Sean B. Jones.
After spending 30 years managing multi-billion-dollar P&Ls, Sean left corporate America and entered entrepreneurship with his wife, Amy.
Together, they built What’s In The Bowl Pet Shops, while Sean also founded Foodynamics, a freeze-drying company that grew from a small operation inside a pet store into a business serving more than 150 pet brands before being acquired by Glacial Freeze Dry in 2025.
We discuss leaving corporate America, identifying business opportunities, solving real problems, scaling a company, acquisitions, investors, risk, leadership, and the realities of entrepreneurship that often get hidden behind the success stories.
If you’re thinking about leaving the traditional 9–5, starting a business, or simply trying to understand what entrepreneurship really looks like behind the scenes, this conversation is for you.
