    The 3 Hidden Profit Leaks in Countertop Shops (Payroll, Inventory, Throughput) with Jason Laski

    If you run a countertop fabrication shop and you’re busier than ever… but you’re still wondering where the money went at the end of the month, this episode is for you. In today’s episode of the Driven for Growth Podcast, I sit down with Jason Laskey, our Strategic Growth Advisor for the stone and flooring divisions. Jason has spent years inside high-output stone operations, including helping scale a shop from one saw, one router, and nine guys producing ~600 sq ft/week to 50 employees, multiple saws/routers, an inline, and ~$20M/year in revenue. Together, we break down the three “hidden” profit leaks that quietly drain margin in most countertop shops: Payroll & overhead (and how shops misjudge true labor cost vs. output) Inventory management (the “death by a thousand cuts” that destroys cash and margins) Production rate & throughput (why not knowing your real output wrecks pricing and scheduling)We also get into the real reason these issues don’t get fixed: most owners and managers are so focused on getting jobs out the door that they don’t have a clean, simple way to measure what matters—and that creates expensive blind spots. If you’re ready to stop leaking profit and start running a tighter, more predictable shop, this one will hit home.  Want to see if our 90-Day Growth Engine Program™ is the right fit for you, you can book a call with us here: https://calendly.com/wesfields/game-plan Free Training — Watch Here Visit Our Website Follow Justin Shaw on Instagram

    How Washington Granite & Marble Built a System to Land Design-Build Projects in 4 Weeks

    In this episode, I sit down with third-generation stone shop owner Mike Ganassa for a candid look at the realities of running and growing a fabrication business today. Mike shares what it was like stepping into the family business, the hardest parts of managing a shop, and the turning point that pushed him to start building systems instead of trying to do everything himself. He also opens up about where he sees the stone industry heading, and why he’s positioning his company toward higher-end, more complex work as competition rises. You’ll hear Mike walk through his experience installing the B2B marketing machine, building a real prospecting database, and discovering there were far more opportunities in his market than he imagined. He also talks about buying back his time, delegating more, and beginning the process of capturing playbooks so the business can scale without leaning so heavily on him. If you’re a stone, tile, or countertop shop owner trying to break out of the “do-everything” cycle, Mike’s story will give you a grounded look at what it takes to gain control, build consistency, and grow with confidence.
