What if the bravest move isn’t scaling harder, but choosing to close a chapter that works? Seth takes us inside the real math of momentum, walking through the journey from a truck and a Home Depot pressure washer to three sustainable service companies, 70%+ returning customers, and the decision to sell on purpose. This isn’t a highlight reel; it’s a candid look at the cost of winning, the pressure of expectations, and the freedom that comes from handing your customers to a better-fitting operator when the business needs outgrow your bandwidth.

We break down how execution—not hype—turned door knocking into a six-figure base, how smart diversification into window cleaning and holiday lighting compounded trust and lifetime value, and why sustainability can be a more honest milestone than constant expansion. The sale didn’t happen overnight; it matured over months, with a buyer already proven as a subcontractor and a focus on safeguarding service quality and reputation. Along the way, Seth confronts the identity trap of entrepreneurship, the pull of ego, and the quiet question that changes everything: if no one was watching, what would you choose?

Post-sale, the payoff was energy, clarity, and space to build again in a new industry with a better fit. The takeaway is simple and hard: peace is not laziness, timing beats ego, and success does not need permission. If you’re standing at the edge of “it works, but it doesn’t fit,” this story gives language and courage for the next right move.

Tired of “new year, new you” pressure? So am I. After a hard 2025, I'm choosing honesty over hype and better reasons over bigger output. This conversation opens the hood on momentum, grief, and motivation, and why pauses often mean your why went missing—not that you’re lazy. I unpack the decision to sell three companies and start fresh in a new tech direction, and I talk about what it really takes to build in public without turning your life into a performance.

You’ll hear how documentation beats perfection when you want work that teaches and travels. I share how the podcast shifts from speeches to real, unfinished thoughts, and how the broader platform expands to day-in-the-life posts, behind-the-scenes workflows, and maker projects on YouTube’s Build Something Today. If you’ve felt stuck but capable, this will feel familiar: fewer buzzwords, more practical detail, and a clear lens on designing systems that survive low-energy days. Profit still matters—it keeps the lights on—but intention sets the direction, and community multiplies the learning.

I also push back on New Year’s resolutions and the myth that January 1 is a magical start line. If a goal matters, start when the spark hits, not when the calendar says so. Expect a new Friday release schedule for the podcast, more video episodes soon, and an open invitation to iterate on the playbook: take what works, improve it, and share it back. Subscribe, leave a review if this resonated, and tell us one goal you’re starting today—not next year.

Don’t just listen—watch it get built.
