Leaving Your Family Company

In this latest episode of the Twenty One Clear Podcast, Adam Hatcher joins a Kennesaw State University Family Enterprise Center panel hosted by Stephanie Davis. Adam's fellow panelists were Jacqueline Jensen and Leslie Oubre, both of whom left their family companies mid-career.

Together they answer three questions:

1. Was leaving a gradual or acute process?
2. What was the emotional impact?
3. And what would they do differently or tell someone else going through it?
