If you can't step away from your business without everything breaking, you didn't build a company—you built a job. Unchained is a raw, firsthand look at entrepreneurship, family business, and how to regain control before burnout decides for you. Equal parts memoir and business playbook, Unchained shows why building "exit-ready"—as if you'll sell in 18 to 24 months, even if you never plan to—is the strongest path to real freedom. This book is for entrepreneurs who want: • A business that works without consuming their time, energy, or relationships • Clarity on why success can still feel heavy—and what to change • A new perspective on ownership, leadership, and long-term freedom • Real-world insight into family business conflict and blurred boundaries • Lessons from someone who has walked away, rebuilt, and returned stronger Bobby Mascia shares his personal journey from Wall Street to a multigenerational Dunkin' Donuts franchise, through toxic culture and constant conflict, to walking away clean and starting over from zero. He tells the truth about what it costs to build, scale, leave, and lead again—without glossy success stories or empty frameworks. Unchained also chronicles being pulled back into the family business under crisis conditions. With humor, humility, and clarity, Bobby reveals why so many entrepreneurs unknowingly build businesses that drain them—and how to design one that creates freedom instead. This is not a theory book. It's a practical, lived guide for founders who want to regain control and build something that lasts.
