What weekly lunches with a Nobel laureate taught me about patience, curiosity, and how to problem solve.

When I joined the company, Professional Services didn't exist. No catalog. No pricing. No team. Nine years later, the practice I built from nothing was generating $34M+ in annual revenue and appeared as a material line item on a NYSE IPO prospectus.

What if success doesn’t feel like success?

That’s the question we dive into with Gina Maier Vincent—an entrepreneur, author, and mindset strategist helping high-achievers break free from lives that look good but feel misaligned.

This week I am talking with Chad Howard and diving into the unexpected world of entrepreneurship through the lens of portable sanitation.

Chad is the founder of Halftime Rentals, a Charlotte, NC based port-a-potty rental company.

After a decade-long career with Procter & Gamble, managing powerhouse brands like Swiffer and Febreze, Chad walked away from the corporate track to launch his own company — fueled by grit, analytics, and a hurricane that changed everything just two months in.
