  • How Trevor Farnes Turned Business Crisis Into Global Impact

    How Trevor Farnes Turned Business Crisis Into Global Impact
    Jun 19 2025
    What if your darkest financial crisis became the foundation for feeding millions of hungry children?

    Trevor Farnes, former CEO and co-founder of MTN Ops, transformed personal bankruptcy and food insecurity into a 7 million meal mission that has fed children across Utah, America, and Africa. From losing seven franchise stores and facing foreclosure to building one of Utah's fastest-growing companies, Trevor's story reveals how crisis, faith, and unwavering mission can create extraordinary impact.

    After experiencing hunger firsthand with his young family—surviving on faith and anonymous grocery deliveries—Trevor discovered that his greatest struggle would become his greatest strength. Today, MTN Ops doesn't just create nutritional products for outdoor enthusiasts; every purchase helps fund Operation Conquer Hunger, proving that profit and purpose aren't just compatible—they're inseparable.What You'll Learn:
    • How Trevor and his wife turned complete business failure into the spark for MTN Ops’ success and mission
    • Why starting with a $22 donation (our few loaves and fishes) led to feeding nearly 7 million meals worldwide
    • How faith-based core values drive decision-making and attract top talent in competitive markets
    • Why vulnerability and authentic storytelling create deeper connections with customers and employees
    Whether you're facing your own business crisis, building a mission-driven company, or wondering how to turn struggle into strength, Trevor's insights on resilience, faith, and giving back offer a blueprint for creating success that transforms lives beyond your own.Connect with Trevor Farnes:

  • Building More Than Buildings: Old School Foundation, Next Generation Growth

    Building More Than Buildings: Old School Foundation, Next Generation Growth
    Jun 5 2025
    Dave Layton, CEO of Layton Construction, has built something remarkable: a company where more than half the employees own shares and retire, having changed their family tree. From the youngest of 10 children working in his father's vegetable garden to leading one of America's top 25 construction companies, Dave's story reveals how treating employees like owners transforms everything.

    In this conversation, Dave shares the "Layton Way"—a philosophy that's driven explosive growth from $350 million in 2004 to over $1 billion today, with offices across 11 markets. The real magic isn't in the revenue numbers; it's in how they've created a culture where top talent stays for decades, building wealth while building America's most important projects from hospitals to sports venues.What You'll Learn:
    • The employee ownership model that turns construction workers into millionaires over 20-40 year careers
    • Why growth is essential for retention and how Dave uses expansion to create career paths for emerging talent
    • The "team sport" approach to construction that delivers predictable outcomes in an unpredictable industry
    • How AI and predictive analytics are revolutionizing safety and project management in traditional construction
    • Dave's crisis leadership lessons from surviving the 2008 recession with a 30-40% revenue drop
    • The mentorship philosophy passed down from his 92-year-old father who "never stopped teaching"
    • Why the rock never rolls on its own and what it takes to keep pushing when business gets tough
    • Technology strategies that help companies do more with less skilled labor in today's market
    Whether you're building a family business, scaling a company, or wondering how to create lasting employee loyalty, Dave's insights on leadership, growth, and giving back offer a blueprint for building something that lasts generations.Connect with Layton Construction:
