Greg partnered with the operator of a $40M company, helped grow it to $85M in four years, and exited with a life-changing result. Now 54, he plans to keep acquiring businesses for decades.
His wife Barbara also joins to share how the decision affected their finances, family, and marriage, offering a rare partner’s perspective. Enjoy this interview with Greg Hirsch, former co-owner of Pella Windows and Doors DFW.
