In this episode, we dive into Chris Edwards' bold leap from the corporate consulting world to entrepreneurship through acquisition. Chris was climbing the corporate ladder, but as he looked ahead, he didn’t see the person he wanted to become. The cushy paycheck wasn’t enough—he wanted something more.

Instead of staying on the path he no longer believed in, Chris took a leap. Within just three months of starting his search, he acquired a business, packed up, and moved to Steamboat Springs, Colorado. He navigated the highs and lows of running a company as the sole owner using SBA debt. But over time, he improved every key metric, growing and optimizing the business.

Three years later, Chris exited, successfully selling the company and proving that the risk was worth it.

🔹 Climbing the corporate ladder doesn’t guarantee fulfillment.
🔹 If you don’t see a future you want, it’s time to create your own.
🔹 Buying a business can be a faster path to entrepreneurship than starting from scratch.
🔹 The ups and downs of ownership teach lessons no job ever could.
🔹 Taking the leap can lead to both financial success and personal freedom.

Chris’ story is proof that you don’t have to spend your life in a career that doesn’t inspire you. If you’ve ever wondered whether you could own a business instead of working for one, this episode is for you.
