In this conversation with Craig, I break down the real lessons I've learned building businesses from the ground up. We talk about the early days of Storage Squad, the stress and chaos that came with scaling a hard business, and how those experiences shaped the way I think about entrepreneurship today.
We dive into why sales is the most important skill in business, why execution matters more than ideas, and how I think about leverage, decision making, delegation, and finding real opportunities in "boring" businesses. I also share practical lessons on improving conversion rates, optimizing sales funnels, building trust with customers, and why most entrepreneurs are looking for complicated answers when the biggest wins usually come from mastering the basics.
If you want to build wealth, become a better operator, and understand what actually drives successful companies behind the scenes, this episode is for you.
