Ted Jenkin is a serial entrepreneur, media personality, and financial expert with over 15 years of experience building and selling successful businesses across multiple sectors — including finance, media, insurance, bookkeeping, and technology.

As President of Exit Stage Left Advisors, Ted helps small and medium-sized business owners maximize their valuation and achieve the highest possible multiple when selling their companies. His mission is simple: to empower founders to exit successfully and live with freedom, purpose, and legacy.

Before founding Exit Stage Left Advisors, Ted built and sold three companies — including a $3 billion wealth management firm — establishing himself as one of the most respected voices in personal finance and small business strategy. He holds multiple professional designations, including Certified Financial Planner (CFP), Chartered Retirement Plans Specialist (CRPS), and Accredited Wealth Manager Advisor (AWMA).

Beyond his entrepreneurial success, Ted is a national media personality, appearing regularly on Fox, CNN, HLN, The Weather Channel, CNBC, and The Wall Street Journal. He is also the host of The Shrimp Tank Podcast, where he interviews top business leaders, and the founder of America’s Small Business Network, a national TV platform for entrepreneurs.

Driven by discipline, family, and faith, Ted is passionate about helping business owners grow, scale, and sell without losing sight of what matters most — health, family, and freedom.
