From Founder to Free Agent: The Aftermath of Selling a Business with Stu Wolff

This candid and eye-opening episode dives deep into the emotional aftermath of selling a business. My guest, entrepreneur, Stuart Wolff knows firsthand the rollercoaster of emotions that comes with selling a successful business.

Today, a business coach to entrepreneurs and Chair of a Tiger 21 Group in the Detroit area, Stu shares a depth-of-knowledge and observations he has gathered about the unspoken truths of post-sale life for founders and their families.
