What if the biggest drag on your business isn’t the market—but the friction you’re creating inside your own company?
In this episode of the Business Roundtable Podcast, host David W. Carr speaks with Ryan Chute, Partner at Wizard of Ads® for Essential Services and founder of America’s Favorite Essential Home Services.
Ryan shares his journey from being a “tyrant manager” in retail to becoming a relational, brand-forward leader after discovering the Wizard of Ads principles. Today, he helps essential service contractors (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) grow 4–10X by aligning brand, story, and culture while eliminating friction that slows down growth.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why most growth plateaus are caused by internal friction, not external factors
- How transactional leadership damages culture and customer experience
- Why brand and culture are inseparable in creating sustainable growth
- The difference between quick-fix marketing and holistic strategy
- How to prepare your company to scale—or even exit profitably
- Practical steps to shift from short-term thinking to legacy building
If you’re a business owner, consultant, or executive who wants to remove friction, align your culture with your brand, and scale with confidence, this episode will give you the clarity and tools you need.
