Hi Clay,Last note from me.If handing off the business isn't on your radar, good. Keep building. If it ever is — this year or five years out — I'm easy to find, and the conversation costs you nothing.Either way, respect for what you've built. Most guys don't last in this trade. You did.–Kirk Koskiniemihussarholdings․comPS: I write a monthly letter for owners like you — stories and tactics from the trades, no strings.
