This episode of CEO 2 CEO explores an incredibly unique transaction between a seller with a vision of the outcome he wanted and a buyer with a vision of how he would begin his own entrepreneurial journey.
Host Scott Sustacek met with Jeff Chanen, the former owner of the Maintenance Team, and Kai Milota, the current owner and CEO, to discuss their long, deliberate ownership transition and build a collective vision for this transaction and the Maintenance Team's legacy.
