They discuss the honest tradeoffs, the conversations that help them decide what's worth taking on, and practical ways couples with children can plan together, share the load, and reassess when the pace no longer fits their season.

Looking back, almost every major breakthrough, relationship, opportunity, and pivotal moment in my life started with one simple thing: an invitation. Someone opened a door, made an introduction, or simply said, "You should come." In this episode, I'm talking about the power of the invite, why saying yes can change your trajectory, and why sometimes you need to be the person extending the invitation. From the Break Records Tour to Equip Expo, Lawntrepreneur Academy Live, and beyond, you never know what one room, one conversation, or one invite could change. Maybe you're the invited. Maybe you're the inviter. Either way, don't underestimate the power of showing up. Granum Break Records Tour: https://granum.com/break-records-tour-2026/

The bus was hauled to his daughter's farm, where the meteorite remained forgotten.Decades later, Dave Forseth who lives on a neighbouring farm bought it, convinced of its authenticity but unable to afford professional verification. For thirty years it sat in his yard, a fortune in limbo. When the filmmaker stumbles upon Dave's farm, chance—or fate—pulls him into the meteorite's orbit.EIFF INFO & TIX: https://edmontonfilmfest.com/schedule/INSTAGRAM: @yoavshamirfilms
Recorded at LAL Live 2025, Mark emphasizes that a company's success is defined by its operational values rather than simple slogans. He argues that while core traits like integrity are essential, intentional culture is built through specific behaviors like transparency, accountability, and ownership. By providing examples from well-known brands like Chick-fil-A, Sedgley illustrates how these values create a distinct customer experience and attract high-quality employees. He encourages business owners to move beyond surface-level traits and operationalize their values through consistent leadership, training, and systems.

Fall is here, and with it comes the rush: business, kids, travel, snow prep, holidays, health, marriage, and a calendar that fills up way too fast. Liz and I sit down to talk about what busy season really looks like behind the scenes, what our family needs from us right now, and how we're deciding what deserves a yes and what needs a no. Because the goal isn't just to survive the next 90 days. It's to make sure we don't wish away another season of our lives.
Thinking about getting into snow removal this winter? In this episode, I break down how to get started, what equipment you actually need, how to price your work, find customers, and turn a few snow events into real money. Whether you've got a shovel, snowblower, or plow truck, this is your roadmap to making money in the snow business.
This one completely changed how I look at sales. In Week 3 of ASCEND, Ken Deemer broke down a simple framework for qualifying prospects around pain, budget, and decision-making, and we've already started refining our own sales process because of it. Instead of rushing to measure, estimate, and send proposals, we're learning to slow down, ask better questions, uncover the real problem, and determine whether an opportunity is actually worth pursuing. If you're tired of wasting hours quoting jobs that never close, this episode might completely change the way you sell.

Three years ago, I learned about the four systems of business while attending an LMN Mastermind. While those principles still hold true, my understanding of them has evolved tremendously. Coming off the Break Records Tour stop in Minnesota, I'm reflecting on how grateful I am for the educational journey this industry has given me. From building my own business and making mistakes to meeting incredible contractors and seeing how other successful companies operate, every experience has added another layer to my knowledge. In this episode, I revisit those four systems, share what Minnesota taught me, and unpack how my story and perspective have changed three years later.

We'll talk about the difference between revenue and actual cash in the bank, why getting paid quickly matters, and how creating a simple, professional payment process can strengthen your business. Two different topics with one common theme: better systems build better businesses.
