Amazing info on doing business
I actually used to love the show but somehow it went from SME’s to all things tech and aviation.
I don’t believe ownership mindset can be taught, but somehow Alex figured out a great way to help us all become better owners
This is one of my favorite business podcasts. As I scale up my own small business into the $1M EBITDA range, it’s great to learn from other businesses that have been where I am today.
One of my favorite discussions was with Chris Hoffman and his approach to building a closely held family owned home service company and scaling it to over $100M in a decade.
It contrasts nicely with some of the PE conversations and M&A discussions you can find here.
Keep up the great content.
So glad to have found this show! Think Like an Owner features thoughtful discussions with leaders on the ground - real perspectives from the trenches. Alex is a stellar interviewer who really gets to the heart of each topic of conversation, leaving you with actionable takeaways that directly apply to your own leadership and life. Highly recommend!

Episodes frequently explore how founders and operators navigate transitions—from old-school to modern, data-driven approaches, to how leadership, branding, and customer experience differentiate thriving SMBs. A notable pattern is deep-dives with founders, operators, and investors who share tangible takeaways on board structure, leadership culture, and scaling services or manufacturing-adjacent businesses. The format often blends personal origin stories with actionable frameworks that listeners can apply to growth, acquisition, or ... more
