From Moab Miles To Management Wins: Pace, Grit, And Smarter Leadership - with Mark Brower
Description
What if the smartest way to grow your company is the same way you finish an ultramarathon in a storm? We take you inside a rain-soaked Moab 240 where swollen riverbeds, sticky mud, and a mountain lion sighting became catalysts for sharper thinking about leadership, systems, and pacing your business for the long haul.
Tony breaks down the “forever pace” concept using heart-rate training, then maps it to the realities of property management: set your own cadence, ignore noisy comparisons, and pass the field through consistency. When an aid-station switch forced a fuel change, the team made a clean decision and moved. That adaptability mirrors what operators face when software shifts, legislation updates, or vendors change—problem solving beats perfection.
The toughest call comes near mile 190 with an arrhythmia scare. Instead of chasing a top-20 finish, Mark power-hikes to protect the heart and secure the buckle. It’s a masterclass in resisting sunk-cost bias and choosing durable wins over risky sprints.
We also get tactical about rest and leverage. If you’re doing $10 tasks, you’re too tired to make $1,000 decisions. Active recovery, protected deep work, and clear delegation multiply output without multiplying hours. Crew leadership becomes a safety lesson: onboarding isn’t a checklist, it’s competence verified under stress. When the weather turns, preparation is culture, and culture carries you through the night.
Along the way, we preview a big move: hiring a COO to create true “rocket fuel.” From goal-setting to executive hiring, from owner relations to maintenance systems, this conversation blends endurance strategy with practical property management playbooks you can apply today. If you’re hungry for profitability, efficiency, and a business you actually enjoy running, press play and tell us: what will you slow down—or stop—so you can finish stronger?
