Western Mass Business Show on 2.7.26 — Maureen Scanlon
In The Western Mass. Business Show
When Maureen Scanlon told me she was going to retire I immediately invited her on the show. Thinking about a life well lived and a career ending, especially for an entrepreneur is quite a thing. You basically must fire yourself, right? How hard is that to do? When to do it, what to do next, what till people say, where will I go next? I wanted to pause and ask Maureen about her career, life in the 413, and why she chose now to let go of the work part of her life. It was a great conversation filled with many stories of well known characters from the region. Thank you for coming on Maureen and for listening to the show listeners.
