I Lost Money Doing the Right Thing (Here's Why I'd Do It Again)

In this inaugural episode, Andrew Barlowe and Allan Daly introduce themselves and share why they're launching this podcast. They dig into the balance between business and family, the reality of going out to "hunt" every day, and why building strong relationships always wins over chasing quick money.

You'll hear two powerful deal stories that shaped how they do business today. One where integrity cost money in the short term but built lasting relationships. Another where cutting commission led to years of referrals and a friendship that changed everything.

This is real talk for men building businesses and meaningful lives. No fluff, no highlight reel, just honest conversations about what it really takes.
