What are you building—and why? Are you creating a business that supports your life, something you plan to scale and sell, or something you hope to pass on? This session explores long-term direction, legacy planning, and business design with intention.
Panelists represent:
• A lifestyle founder (running lean, profitable, intentional)
• A principal navigating succession (family, internal, or external)
• A company that recently sold or restructured (with insight—not a flex)
Think Tank topics:
• How do you define success for your company?
• What scares you about selling or stepping back?
• How do you plan when your endgame is still evolving?
Panelists include: Robert Frungillo (Frungillos), Syd Sexton (Catering by Design), Rachel Volz (A Fare Extraordinaire) and Carl Sacks (Leading Caterers of America).
