Sam Gembel became a leader without even knowing it. As a landscaping foreman, Sam grew frustrated when the people he trained kept getting transferred to different work crews. One day, Sam realized that many of these people were being promoted to positions of leadership, and often ended up in charge of those crews. When Sam asked his boss about this, he was told that this was because Sam was a leader who made leaders.
After this, Sam's perspective changed. Soon, Sam found himself with his own landscaping business, Atlas Outdoor. The ups, downs, lessons, failures, and growth of this business is the heart of today's episode. If you are a hustler looking to take that next step, listen to Sam share the unvarnished truth about grinding until you succeed. Sam and Jason break down:
- success vs. significance
- attacking problems, not people
- how to approach firing an employee... or, as Sam calls it, "promoting them to another company."
