Episode Quotes:

1. I don't like to hoard information. If I can do it, you know, if I can give somebody a bit of information that can help them out, then I want to be able to share that information with them.
2. Pallet Pros is more of your brick and mortar distribution side. So we physically have a physical building. We have pallets there and we have workers.
3. So at my level, I'm not really seeing an impact with tariffs. I have strategically placed my business where I work with small and medium sized businesses that for the most part ship within the country so they're not having to ship stuff overseas.
4. My network is built around redundancy. So where if I'm not physically available, I have other people that can do the work for me
5. When I come home, my brain switches from entrepreneur to now husband and father.
6. It’s beautiful chaos, running two businesses while raising a five-month-old.
7. Legacy, for me, is building something that still operates after I’m gone. - Brandon
8. Consistency is the number one thing if you want to succeed in the pallet business.
