What has that been like to kind of shift from being in charge of everything to not running the company today?

Well, that was probably the hardest part of this whole sale transition, Chris.

I knew everything day to day, where every single person was, what was next, everything, every in and out of the business.

And last late summer, early fall, I started to kind of And over that, the new leadership team.

And it was, I would say the three of them at first were like, yeah, he's never going to stay out of everything.

Because I think Eric probably and Roger were.

know me a little bit better than gary at that time and i think eric was like there's no way relinquish and just step away which was very very hard um especially when i decided like hey these guys gotta you know take over while i'm here just so we can make sure everything's going smoothly And really about October of 25, the leadership team kind of took the reins slowly from me.

Just any lessons you'd be willing to share with business owners thinking about going through a similar process.
