    The Road to $100 Million: How Steve Wineriter Is Using AI to Scale | M4 Ep. 5

    What does it take to build a business approaching $100 MILLION in annual revenue—and how do you use artificial intelligence to scale without replacing the people who made it successful? On Episode 5 of Make • Manage • Multiply with Mike Jungen, Mike sits down with Steve of American Diamond Logistics (ADL) to discuss entrepreneurship, AI automation, logistics, leadership, financial discipline, and building a company designed for long-term growth. Steve's entrepreneurial journey started when he joined his father's transportation brokerage after college. What began as a temporary job eventually became the foundation for American Diamond Logistics, a company that grew from approximately $2.5 million in annual revenue to a current pace exceeding $70 million, with $100 million in sight. But the most interesting part of the story isn't just the money. It's how Steve built the business. His philosophy: Let AI handle the transactions. Let people manage the relationships. From developing proprietary logistics technology and GPS freight tracking to automating the shipment process, Steve explains how investing in innovation helped American Diamond gain an advantage in an industry that was slow to embrace technology. And while technology has helped the company grow, Steve believes its greatest competitive advantage is still its people. IN THIS EPISODE How Steve went from working for his father to building American Diamond Logistics The power of duplication and creating a scalable business model Growing from $2.5 million toward a $100 million annual revenue pace How AI is transforming freight brokerage and logistics Why AI should support employees instead of replacing them Building proprietary technology competitors can't easily duplicate The hidden cash-flow challenges of rapidly growing companies Why your banking relationships can determine whether your business survives How to grow without losing financial discipline Why company culture starts with hiring the right people The importance of attitude, work ethic, and relationships How an independent-agent model created new opportunities for entrepreneurs Lessons from owning businesses in multiple industries Steve's answers to MAKE, MANAGE, and MULTIPLY THE BIG TAKEAWAY Growth isn't just about generating more revenue. It's about building the people, systems, relationships, and financial foundation that allow you to sustain it. Whether you're an entrepreneur, business owner, executive, sales professional, logistics operator, or someone interested in AI and business automation, this conversation offers practical insight into what it takes to scale.

    Why Great Hospitality Is Really a People Business; The Business of Building a Network People Pay to Join | Christopher Finley Sr. | M4 Ep. 4

    What separates a business people visit once from one they can't wait to come back to? On Episode 4 of Make. Manage. Multiply. with Mike Jungen, Mike sits down with Christopher Finley Sr., General Manager of the Constellation Club, for a conversation about leadership, hospitality, company culture, networking, and creating an experience people are willing to pay to be part of. After years in fine dining—including being sent into locations that needed leadership, training, and cultural change—Christopher learned an important lesson: Most of the time, the business isn't broken. The people and culture need attention. Christopher explains why developing people became one of the most important parts of his leadership philosophy, how he learned to deliver difficult feedback without destroying morale, and why knowing the jobs of the people you manage can completely change the way you lead. Today, he brings that experience to the private-club world, where the product isn't simply great food or a beautiful view. It's access, relationships, experiences, and community. At the Constellation Club, members aren't simply joining a club—they're entering a network where business relationships form, deals get done, and connections can turn into opportunities. As Christopher puts it, you can "grow your network and grow your net worth." In this episode: • Why company culture is usually a people problem• Christopher's "mean nice" approach to difficult feedback• Leading when you know every job on the team• Lessons from years in fine dining and hospitality• Transitioning from restaurants to private clubs• Why people pay for access to the right network• How networking can increase your net worth• Why focusing only on profit can actually hurt the business• Creating experiences customers can't get somewhere else• How private clubs keep members engaged• Learning from ideas and events that don't work• Leadership during difficult situations• Building a culture people want to return to• The Make • Manage • Multiply philosophy Christopher also explains why the financial side often takes care of itself when a business gets the fundamentals right: focus on hospitality, service, and the individual first rather than treating the bottom line as the only goal. Whether you're a business owner, entrepreneur, manager, hospitality professional, salesperson, investor, or leader, there are lessons here that apply far beyond restaurants and private clubs.

    Welcome back to Make. Manage. Multiply. with Mike Jungen! What if every home, office building, school, or commercial property had a permanent identity—just like your car has a VIN number? In this episode, Mike sits down with Trevor Vick, Founder & CEO of UMIP, to discuss Persistent Infrastructure Identity (PIID)—a revolutionary concept that could completely change how we buy, sell, insure, maintain, and understand real estate.
