In this episode, I break down why we re-drafted nearly our entire team over the last 12 months — from fuel and payroll to insurance, CPA, and bookkeeping. Growth changes the game, and the people who got you here aren't always the ones who can take you where you're going. We talk about how to evaluate your team, when it's time to make a change, and why drafting the right people is one of the most important leadership decisions you'll ever make.

Customer experience doesn't happen by accident. It's designed. In this episode, I sit down with Kristen Kiley from Leanscaper to break down how to intentionally map the customer experience from first contact through long-term retention. Recorded at Leanscaper, we walk through the key customer touchpoints most contractors overlook, how small gaps create big problems, and how designing the journey on purpose leads to better retention, referrals, and long-term growth.

Brian and Liz reconnect after the Arizona LeanScaper trip for a real-life regroup and honest catch-up. They talk through what it looks like to reset together, communicate better, and stay aligned while running a snow business in real time, with all the pressure, moving parts, and decisions that come with it. Same goal, different roles, and learning how to win as a team in the middle of a tough season.
