Launching a new business sounds exciting, and it is, but there are plenty of challenges nobody talks about. In this episode, Mike Garvey pulls back the curtain on the launch of ROPED (Robotic Outdoor Power Equipment Distributors) and shares the lessons he's learned from becoming a Kress distributor, building a mobile showroom, landing the first customers, creating partnerships, and navigating the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.

Whether you're starting a new company, adding a new division, or considering a major pivot in your business, this episode is packed with real-world insights from the front lines of building something from the ground up.
