In this incredible episode, I have invited Mike Finger who will share his expertise that can lead to your dream exit. Over the last 25 years, Mike Finger has bought, built and sold multiple businesses. Building his first business was a rewarding challenge, but what really captivated him was selling his first business. But that sale almost didn’t happen.
