681 - Learning, Leading, Persevering and Loving It (With Brent Pohlman)

When you are just starting to grow a business, the challenges you face can feel overwhelming. The reality is that, as you grow a business into the tens of millions of dollars, the issues you face are exponentially more difficult. We have a concept we share in our organization. In order to navigate the challenges facing your business, you must learn to lead your business from the passenger seat. What it means is that, as you grow, you must develop leaders to operate your business because you won't be able to do everything anymore. As a CEO, you're not growing a business. You’re growing leaders to grow leaders in your business. In this episode, we are joined by Brent Pohlman, CEO of Midwest Soil Labs. Brent runs a massive company with over two hundred employees and an incredible amount of revenue. Throughout the crisis that has gripped the world this year, Brent has led his company to break their all-time top revenue in the company's history without a single furloughed employee. His company gave back $2.8 M in PPP money in June and purchased a new 176,000 square foot building on 27 acres. Brent is an incredible entrepreneur, and his commitment to learning how to lead his company has allowed him to build an incredible organization that is changing the world.

Om Podcasten

The Momentum Podcast is for those who of us who think differently — made especially for empire builders, game-changers, trailblazers, record makers, and creators of all kinds. Those among us who can’t turn it off, and don’t know why anyone would want to. We challenge complacency, destroy apathy, and we are obsessed with creating momentum. While the rest of the world strives for average and clings desperately to the status quo, you and I are compelled to move forward and change the world. We are the minority, the few, who are willing to hallucinate there could be a better future. Instead of just daydreaming of what could be, we endure the vulnerability and exposure it takes to make it real. We are the evolutionary hunters. The most important people in the world because entrepreneurs are the only source of consistent, positive human evolution, and we always will be.
