There are episodes you record… and then there are episodes you feel in your bones.
This is one of those. An instant classic. One of my favorites of all time.

In this conversation with Stu Strahan, we go way beyond business. Stu opens up with raw honesty about the heartbreak of losing it all — and the long, quiet years of doubt that followed. He shares the moment his son reignited the entrepreneurial fire in him, pulling him out of fear and into the future.

But what makes this episode truly unforgettable is how Stu and his family have built their business: with heart, grit, and a deep commitment to treating people like people, even in an industry where that’s often forgotten.

We laugh. We cry. We talk family, faith, leadership, and the relentless drive to get back up and build a life you’re proud of.

This is the kind of conversation that sticks with you.
That reminds you why you started.
That proves, no matter how many times you’ve been knocked down, you’re not done yet.

You’ll take away:
💥 Lessons on rebuilding after failure
💥 Why service and heart win every time
💥 Building a culture that attracts people to you
💥 The power of family in business
💥 And why it’s never too late to start again

Listen to this one — and then listen again. It’s that good.
