Ep 55 | Seeking a Buyout or Seeking Fulfillment: How This Founder Decided with Dave Molenda
May 18, 2023 Season 1 Episode 55
Jerry Macnamara / Dave Molenda

Most people don’t set out to start a business with the intention of selling it. Even leaders of small businesses that grow into million-dollar enterprises don’t start every new day looking for a buyer. But sometimes, you have to know when to let go and start on a new adventure.

This week, I'll sit down with Dave Molenda, Founder of Positive Polarity, who made the tough choice to do just that. After starting and leading his own company for almost 30 years, he made a choice to walk away due to a difference in vision with his business partner. For David, the choice was easy because he was ready to take a step towards the new goal he had in mind after achieving success. On this episode of Best Places to Lead, we’ll discuss:

 1. How to navigate the emotional aspects of going through a buyout.
 2. The importance of investing in people to strengthen your organization and the industry.
 3. Recent trends in what leaders are looking for in their own professional development.

If you’re on the cusp of a big career pivot and want to learn how to trust your instincts, listen to this episode!
