http://www.tropicalmba.com/tomhannon/ As many of you know, Dan and Ian love hearing from the listeners of this show.

A listener named Tom Hannon recently wrote in with a question that we really hadn't addressed on this show before.

We've talked a lot about selling businesses on this podcast lately, but what happens when you don't have a choice? What happens when you are forced to sell?

As we started talking with Tom, we discovered that he has actually sold twelve businesses of his own, and the circumstances of each of those sales were entirely unique.

We invited Tom onto today's podcast to share the stories of those exits, as well as the lessons that he has learned along the way.
