  • Fairly new listener

    I started listening to Matt’s podcast a few months ago. I’m the GM for a small family owned GC company. I started listening because I’m in the middle of a 5 year buyout plan and want ideas on how to grow and develop the business once I take over. So far the information is spectacular.
