    Ep 61. From Humble Beginnings to Industry Titans: The Morales Outdoor Living Story

    I sat down with Chris Morales, the founder of Morales Outdoor Living, to uncover the hard-won lessons and successes of his entrepreneurial journey. From humble beginnings with a two-door truck and an $800 trailer, to tackling a once-in-a-lifetime Christmas-themed hotel project, Chris shares his story of passion, perseverance, and the power of building a dedicated team. As a fellow green industry veteran, I was inspired by Chris's commitment to quality, his investment in company culture, and the emotional rollercoaster of entrepreneurship. We’ll discuss the challenges of delegating tasks, mastering his finances, and balancing the demands of work and family life – challenges that I've faced myself. This episode is a raw, authentic look at the realities of running a thriving hardscaping business.
