EP 15: Bob Barton - The Skills You Need to (Literally) Move the Earth

What sits at the center of those businesses - and their owners - that become pillars of their industry? The best companies thrive on their blend of values, skill sets, and intelligent people, but the common denominator among the true giants is always the sheer willingness to get up and commit, day after day.

 

Bob Barton has been an innovator in the land leveling and agricultural technology spaces for decades, from his work alongside his father in Farm-It Laser Leveling (later Barton Laser Leveling, Inc.) to his corporate ventures and big projects and small. Whatever the project or organization, Bob operates on solid principles of teamwork, motivation, and plain get-it-done grit.

 

On this episode of No Bull Business and Brews, hosts Jason and Steve sit down with Bob to dig deep on the record-setting, the trailblazing potential you gain when you have the ingenuity to get resourceful and do the work, Bob’s experience watching his family grow into doing business together (and how they each support the success of the others), and how his son has developed into a leader with the skills to conquer the business world. 

What You’ll Learn:

 

• How Bob built a winning, well-aligned team, company culture, and legacy that allows him to operate in his industry with his head held high and his relationships thriving
• What’s next for Bob and his business soon, and how he spots an opportunity for innovation after years of honing his instincts for progress
• Why feeling that you need to have a “plan B” in place in case of failure means you’ve already failed
• And much more!
