10 years ago, BJ was a completely different person. He's sober, learning from the best mentors and coaches, and is rising the ranks in his market by creating local allies with other businesses and competitors in his market.

BJ credits his success to his mentors and coaches. He wouldn't be where he is today without asking for help and applying his learnings along the way. In fact, if it wasn't for mentors and coaches, he would've had to close down the business for good.

The more hands you shake, the more money you make. BJ doesn't worry about competition. He cares about creating allies. It has become the foundation for his growth.

Want to level up? Tune in. This is a d*mn good episode.

How many times have you heard..."I don't want to train them because they're just going to leave."

There's some truth here. You don't have a workforce forever.

Marcus Gores thinks about building a construction company differently than most...

Some folks may want to stay with Gores Construction forever, great, they will be trained.

Some folks may want to learn skills to start their own business, great, they will be trained. And even better...they may become future subcontractors.

Building a generational company is a commitment to people and having a long-term mindset.

We sit down and chat with Ernie Villarino of Ernerbrand! Find out how a union carpenter turned his concept into a reality, making one of the raddest hammers on the market. With 20 years in the industry, it's nice to hear the difference in Pro-Union vs. Non-Union, how a youngster can get into the industry, and what the benefits will be.
