When you are just starting to grow a business, the challenges
you face can feel overwhelming.
The reality is that, as you grow a business into the tens of
millions of dollars, the issues you face are exponentially more
difficult.
We have a concept we share in our organization. In order to
navigate the challenges facing your business, you must learn to
lead your business from the passenger seat.
What it means is that, as you grow, you must develop leaders to
operate your business because you won't be able to do everything
anymore.
As a CEO, you're not growing a business. You’re growing leaders to
grow leaders in your business.
In this episode, we are joined by Brent Pohlman, CEO of Midwest
Soil Labs. Brent runs a massive company with over two hundred
employees and an incredible amount of revenue. Throughout the
crisis that has gripped the world this year, Brent has led his
company to break their all-time top revenue in the company's
history without a single furloughed employee. His company gave back
$2.8 M in PPP money in June and purchased a new 176,000 square foot
building on 27 acres.
Brent is an incredible entrepreneur, and his commitment to learning
how to lead his company has allowed him to build an incredible
organization that is changing the world.
