“After recovering from pandemic closures, I found myself thinking about my exit plan. The first person I called was Tom Kuhn. I thought I was comfortable with the decision until Tom asked me, 'If someone handed you a check for your business today, would you be ready to walk away?' I burst into tears and realized this was going to take time... not just to figure out the financial side, but also to prepare myself emotionally.”
