As both Jay and Duncan have recently sold their companies, they look inward and discuss what it’s like to sell a business from an emotional standpoint. In many ways, a business is a living, breathing thing. When you’ve been there from the start, letting go can be a difficult process. When egos are involved, tensions are always likely to run high, especially when it comes to a family business. Learn how these two pros navigated this journey, what advice they have for those seeking the same path, and what their plans are for the future.
