  • Can’t hear it anymore

    Love this show and have listened for a few years. For some reason over the past few months it’s become a whisper show and the audio is too low to hear while doing any type of physical labor.

  • Techo- Bloc Philly

    Got the opportunity to listen to Josh live on the hardscaper growth at the Techo-Bloc Philly Showcase. He has great insights to what this industry requires for growth and leading your team to a unified vision so you can scale at any level.

  • If your IN this industry, this needs to be IN your ear.

    I caught one of these podcasted bacaue I knew someone on it. After listening to one episode, I binged them all. Josh has a way blending personal growth and industry topics that are easy to relate and have value. A chilled elixir of Joe Rogan meets Marty Grunder with a side of David Goggins if you will. Definitely worth a listen if you recognize one of these name.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Scared to Show Your Employees the Numbers? You Might Be Holding Back Your Best Team Members w/ Alex Bulow from Inca Stone
Q: So Alex, if somebody's listened to this, they've been closed book forever, but it's pulling at their heart. They're thinking, you know what, maybe I would try this. Maybe these two guys aren't crazy. Maybe I would try this and see if it actually helps my team get stronger, more competitive, helps me as an owner.
Bulow recommends learning the numbers before sharing them, preparing to answer questions, and explaining the information rather than simply handing the team a report. Owners can begin with a few useful metrics or percentages and gradually share more.

Q: So how important is keeping your books in order in order to make informed decisions?
Bulow says accurate, organized financial records are extremely important because they provide clarity for decisions and growth planning. He adds that a bank balance alone does not show where the business stands.

Q: What advice would you give somebody that's out there struggling with some of the stuff we're talking about here?
Justin advises people to turn their focus toward God and build a relationship with Him, which he says brings calm and confidence that he will be cared for through difficult circumstances. He also says a business setback would not erase who he is or prevent him from finding another path.

Justin says to manage company finances carefully, avoid spending to impress others, accept mistakes as part of learning, and keep working on self-talk and character. He also stresses remembering why he entered the industry and not giving up after setbacks.
