    Ron Solsrud: The Tech Stack Behind a 20-Year Petland Operation

    Ron Solsrud has been a Petland franchisee for 20 years and this year took home both the Distinguished Franchisee Award and the Better Business Bureau's Torch Award — the highest honor in the state. Brad Parker sits down with his longtime friend and colleague Ron to break down the three platforms running his operation. Cosmic Media's dynamic dashboard takes the complexity out of Google AdWords and helps Ron target the right customers week to week — he's currently running a live beta to get the same leads on a lower budget. FormPiper went from hour-long paper application marathons to a single form submitted to multiple lenders in minutes — and Ron says without it, they probably wouldn't be in business today. And Tenacity pivoted to virtual dog training during COVID, accidentally discovered that training the whole family at home produced better results than any facility, and now offloads customer support calls from Ron's team while adding bundled premium value to every puppy sale. Ron also shares which single platform he'd take to a brand new location — and why he felt guilty choosing it. Pull up a chair.

    Dr. Ronnie Rodriguez: Identity, Adversity & The Three Pillars of Success

    Dr. Ronnie Rodriguez grew up in the Dominican Republic dreaming of professional baseball, migrated to America, and built a dental practice into a thriving DSO. In this Power of 27 episode, Brad Parker strips away the business conversation to get to the real stuff — personal identity, the adversity that shapes high performers, and the three pillars that drive everything Dr. Rodriguez does: work hard, work smart, work together. Ronnie shares his top three personal goals, how he breaks macro goals into micro-actions using a 12-week construct, and why being rigid on the vision while staying flexible on the path is the key to surviving the inevitable resistance. He also shares what he'd tell anyone entering a new industry: find a mentor, become a learning machine, and trust the compound effect of small daily wins. Pull up a chair.

    Adam Yeager: Wishes vs. Goals & The Culture of Scaling

    Adam Yeager scaled a business to 46 automotive repair locations before walking away with a private equity exit. In this Power of 27 episode, Brad Parker and Adam go deep on the goal-setting systems and leadership habits that made it possible. Adam shares the mentor-taught difference between a wish and a goal, how he pushed through Brad's Power of 27 challenge after struggling past 16 goals, and why he still swears by pad and paper — with daily data dumps across notepads in his house, office, and car. Brad breaks down how he uses AI-powered apps and 12-week sprints to stay locked in. They also get into why money stops being the motivator, how to break the 80/20 culture trap, and why the single best interview question you can ask any applicant is to have them share their personal list of documented goals.

    Dr. Ronnie Rodriguez: The Tech Stack Scaling a Dental DSO

    Dr. Ronnie Rodriguez grew his single dental practice from $2 million to $6 million before launching New Frontier Dental to help other practices do the same. Brad Parker sits down with Ronnie to break down the three platforms running his DSO. GoHighLevel powers the entire lead funnel — with AI automations so effective that patients started showing up without ever speaking to a human. The Progressive Dental Business Suite aggregates revenue, expenses, lab costs, and pipeline so the team always knows exactly when they've crossed break-even. And FormPiper — which Ronnie credits with "saving their biscuits" when post-COVID lending tightened — now accounts for 70% of revenue in his full arch sector by running six to eight lender applications simultaneously in under five minutes. Ronnie also shares why FormPiper is the first tool he'd set up in any new practice — before spending a single dollar on marketing.

    Adam Yeager: The Tech Stack Behind a Multi-Shop Auto Repair Operation

    Adam Yeager went from GM to regional director managing 40+ locations, and now runs Better Ventures — consulting with auto repair shops and taking them to exit. Brad Parker sits down with Adam on the boat to break down the three platforms running his operation. Techmetric brings uniform pricing, digital inspections, and web-based KPI visibility across every location. FormPiper took his financing rate from 2-5% all the way to 18-22% of revenue — with an 80%+ approval rate that means his team almost never has to deliver a declined application. And Turnkey Marketing handles everything A to Z so Adam can stay focused on growing shops instead of managing five marketing channels himself. He also breaks down the flywheel effect — more financing, more revenue, more marketing, more revenue — and when to dial it back. Pull up a chair.

    Aidan McMacin: The Tech Stack Behind 2 Meineke Locations

    Aidan McMacin bought his first Meineke in January 2021 and his second in mid-2022, operating both in Reno and Sparks, Nevada with plans for a third. Brad Parker sits down with Aidan live at the Meineke 2026 Trade Show to break down the platforms running his shops. Tekmetric's DVI tool replaces "I don't believe you" with photos and videos sent directly to the customer's phone — building trust that drives repeat business and larger tickets. Tekmetric as a cloud POS lets Aidan manage remotely, cut check-in time from 20 minutes to under 5, and give customers three ways to book. And FormPiper simplified five separate financing applications into one — a change that now accounts for 20% of his total revenue. Aidan also gets a live lesson in the "early and often" financing strategy from Brad on camera. Pull up a chair.

    Ray Little: Goal Setting, Daily Routines & The Cheat Code

    Ray Little didn't build a $38 million roofing company by accident — he built it through relentless goal setting, non-negotiable daily routines, and a philosophy that puts personal development before everything else. In this Power of 27 episode, Brad Parker and Ray go deep on the systems and mindsets that keep high performers locked in. Ray shares how he defines his company as a personal development business first, how he uses math and metrics to reverse-engineer daily actions from macro goals, and why roofing — like any business — is really just a vehicle for life transformation. He also breaks down the "Cheat Code": using future goals to drive today's habits, and why leaning into fear and anxiety is the fastest way to overcome complacency. Pull up a chair.

    Ray Little: The Tech Stack Behind a $38M Roofing Exit

    Ray Little founded Perimeter Roofing, scaled it to five offices across four states, and walked away with a $38 million exit. Now he leads Storm Venture Group, a training platform helping roofing companies follow in his footsteps. Brad Parker sits down with Ray to break down the platforms that powered his growth — AccuLynx CRM for managing hundreds of users across multiple states, GroupMe and Slack for keeping culture and lead flow centralized and accountable, GoHighLevel for marketing dashboards and a 12 to 18 month follow-up cycle that closes deals competitors gave up on, and LightSpeed as the actual product he sells — a gym membership model for roofing companies that adds new training every month. Ray also shares why he saw a fragmented "old man roofing" industry and used technology to scale and exit faster than anyone expected. Pull up a chair.
