    Why 2023 Hit Builders Harder Than Any Crisis - And the Opportunity Ahead

    Send a text If you're a builder, pool guy, landscaper — or anyone who got crushed by 2020–2023 — this one's for you. I filed bankruptcy in 2023. Lost it all. But I'm still standing. Today I break down why this storm was worse than 2008 or the 1930s: money supply surged 25–27% (boom), costs spiked +140% (lumber 3.5×, steel 3×), then M2 contracted -2.44% — first since the Depression — while costs lingered 50–90% high. The +83% gap? No relief, no QE. Cash flow crushed. But here's the flip: every crisis creates winners. Rates are dropping soon. Pent-up demand is massive — pools, patios, upgrades. The disciplined, resilient ones? They explode. We talk efficiency, AI tools, organic attention (it's the new currency), tracking cash flow (no more guessing labor), and anchoring in faith — because storms never stop. DM 'STORM' for my free Survival Checklist. Or 'COACH' for a real talk.

Isaiah 40:31 "but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

    Keep Going

    Send a text In this episode I talk about what it really means to keep going when life or business gets hard. The setbacks, the slow seasons, the self-doubt - these are all apart of the process, they are not signs to quit. I share real perspectives on pushing through tough moments and staying disciplined when motivation fades. If you are in a season that feels heavy, this is your reminder: don't stop now, keep going. Galatians 6:9 "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

    Change Your Thinking, Change Your Business

    Send a text Your brain is a magnet - it attracts what it's most familiar with. Make sure what you are feeding your mind is helping, not hurting, your business.

    The Key to Marketing a New Business

    Send a text Someone on Tiktok reached out to me this week looking for advice on my 3 biggest tips for landscaping businesses. My number 1 advice is PROMOTE, PROMOTE, PROMOTE. When you are a new business - no one knows you! As the business owner you need to be spending most of your time in the first year promoting. Attention is everything. Matthew 5:14-16 "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

    Starting Over

    Send a text I had a friend reach out to me last week looking for some advice and the conversation I had with him sparked this podcast episode - I have learned a lot in the past 2 years during my rebuild and I wanted to share some inspiration for anyone who may also be starting over or starting a new business.  2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"

    The Valley

    Send a text If you are going through a valley or a hard time yourself, don't quit! I know it's hard but shift your thinking and look for the positives in your life. Keep going. "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand" Isiah 41:10
