Last weekend in Las Vegas, I spent a full day at the Ford Bronco Off-Roadeo learning what my Bronco is actually built to do. Steep climbs. Rock crawling. Technical descents. Sand. Situations I would've never attempted on my own.

I left fired up.

Not just because it was fun—but because I realized something: most of us are driving vehicles (and running businesses) that are capable of way more than we're asking them to do.

In this episode, I break down what the Off-Roadeo taught me about pushing your limits, applying what you learn at conferences, and why growth only happens when you're willing to go off-road.

If you come home from an event excited but never execute, nothing changes. And if you hit a rock at the wrong angle, you don't quit—you adjust.

Let's get into it.

Most acquisitions don't fail because of bad math—they fail because of people, timing, and moving too fast.

In this episode, I walk through the real mistakes we made in one of our early acquisitions, what it cost us, and how that experience completely reshaped our post-acquisition playbook. If you're buying service businesses—or thinking about it—this episode will save you time, stress, and talent.

We'll talk about why "good changes" still trigger fear, how fast system rollouts can backfire, and why learning first earns you the right to lead. I'll also break down our updated 90-day post-acquisition plan designed to stabilize teams, retain staff, and create smoother integrations going forward.
