How2Exit Interview

Had an action packed week this week including listing one of our companies for sale, but I'll leave that for another post.

Those of you wondering when the heck we're going to syndicate our first deal, please bear with us, we've been super close on a few deals but are really looking for something special. We hope to have at least 1 this quarter and will hopefully pick up the pace depending on how it goes.
