Stepping into the role of business owner is one of the most challenging endeavors you'll undertake. Buying that business from someone you already know amplifies the risk of mistakes. On The Art of Succession Podcast, you'll hear from entrepreneurs who've successfully transitioned from employee to owner by acquiring businesses from parents, former bosses, or co-founders.
Together, we'll explore how they navigated the complex blend of emotions and strategic decisions required to honor the past while forging a new and vibrant future. Your host, Barrett Young, a fellow traveler in the succession story of a 75+ year CPA firm himself, invites his guests to reflect on the mindset shifts, challenges, and triumphs that have empowered them to build on their established foundations.
