Nah, it isn’t anything all that impressive. I actually just sold a majority of my ownership to pursue other interests. Retained a small stake just in case it goes regional.

I worked full time as a software engineer(remote since 2016) while opening and running the production side of my brewery for about 3 years before I could afford to hire help. Hired a brewer, got him up to speed then Covid hit. We kept him on full time during Covid and I didn’t spend much time there.

Once covid calmed down I still didn’t do much reengaging on production and just managed brew schedule and ordering shit.

Went from pulling 70-80 work weeks prior to Covid to a standard 40-45 hours.

Covid basically made my wife and I realize that our kids learned more with us driving their education for 2-3 hours a day than they were getting in 8 hours at school.

Sold most of my ownership as we plan to move onto a sailboat and travel the world with our kids until they go to college. My wife and I both have remote jobs and plan to continue working.

Yes, we are insane.
