MP3•Episode home

Today’s guest is Dave Pope, a friend of mine from college who spent 14 years in sales in the Northeast before making a bold move and buying Kaytech, Inc., a surface preparation company based in Greenville, South Carolina.

At the time, he had no prior experience as a business owner.

In this episode, Dave shares what it’s really like before, during and after acquiring a small business with stories from his first year as an owner-operator.
