Episode 1872:
Nick Loper reflects on the emotional and strategic decision to shut down his first and longest-running business, ShoeSniper, after a decade of operation. This candid story challenges the myth of never quitting by showing how shifting market forces, rising ad costs, and declining commissions can turn a once-profitable venture into a slow bleed, making quitting not just okay, but necessary.
