"Constructive Conversations" is the podcast where we explore the mindset and actionable approaches that empower entrepreneurs to achieve success in all areas of life, and inspire others with the confidence to chase their own big dreams.
This one's different. I sat down for an interview with an imagined version of myself, ten years out, using AI to ask the questions. In that future, Calgary Custom Concepts is doing $25 million a year and I've just finished an Ironman in Kona. From the outside that looks like a clean run. It wasn't. The early years came a lot closer to breaking me than the numbers suggest, and most of this conversation is about that gap, plus whether I actually have the capacity to hold onto that kind of scale without it taking over everything else.
