681 - Learning, Leading, Persevering and Loving It (With Brent Pohlman)

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.
