This episode gives us access to Ezra Firestone’s Blue Ribbon E-Commerce Mastermind. Whether you’re already a Founder/Entrepreneur or want to launch your own business one day, there are takeaways, tips, and fun tidbits in this conversation between two heavy-hitters that have recently sold large portions of their boot-strapped businesses. You’ll hear Ezra’s chat with Kindred Bravely Founder Garret Akerson as they share their exit stories, reasoning, and what life is like ‘on the other side.’  Also, learn why Garret Aversion thinks you should never start a business without an Exit plan and why Ezra advises you ‘get out’ when your business is at around 70% of its potential. “Entrepreneurship is a personal development game, right? Cause you are always the limiting factor no matter what”. Garret Akerson YOUR ENGAGEMENT MATTERS!
