SEPTEMBER AGENDA
The Great Escape: A Conversation with Matt Navarre
What happens when you trade your long-term FileMaker business for the sun-drenched shores of Greece? Join us for an unmissable conversation with Matt Navarre, who sold his businesses and "semi-retired" to live a new life abroad. We’ll use Matt’s experience as a real-world case study for a topic relevant to many of us: the growing wave of business owners nearing retirement. Matt’s story offers a valuable look into the possibilities and challenges for developers in our own community who may be considering succession or a different path. Matt will share what led him to make this monumental decision, the unexpected pros and cons of moving out of the country, and what semi-retirement during a time of great technological change feels like. Get ready for a candid discussion about the freedom and fulfillment that comes from making a massive life change, and hear Matt's advice for anyone considering a similar path.
