The Servant Leader's Guide to Scaling a $500M Company
Description
In this episode of Founders Future, with host Zach Young, we are joined by Kurt Uhlir, a globally recognized operator and "King of Scaling" with experience taking companies from startups to over $500 million in revenue. Kurt shares his unconventional origin story, which began with hacking federal servers as a teenager, leading him to a path of using his skills for business growth rather than mischief. He delves into his current role as CMO of Easy Home Search, where he is part of a mission-driven team challenging real estate industry behemoths by prioritizing consumer privacy, transparent information, and the success of their local partner agents over the traditional data-selling model.
Kurt outlines the core pillars of his marketing strategy, which blend heavy organic content, selective partner fit, and a unique co-branded ecosystem that empowers agents. The conversation explores the critical leadership qualities he looks for in a company, emphasizing the need for a humble, visionary CEO who is transparent about long-term goals and open to healthy conflict. Kurt also shares his personal mission to "multiply himself" through servant leadership, both within his company and through the CEO Netweavers organization, focusing on building lives and businesses that people genuinely love.
