The Brutal Truth About Building a $50 Million Dollar Company

What does it really take to build a $50 million company?

In this episode, I’m breaking down the brutal truth about scaling to $50M in collected revenue — including the sacrifices I had to make and the things I refused to sacrifice along the way.

This isn’t the glamorized “hustle 24/7” version of entrepreneurship. It’s the real story: giving up what I was good at, replacing sloppy decisions with structured ones, spending $3 million on a real executive team, and shifting from growth-at-all-costs to sustainable enterprise value.

I’ll also share what I didn’t sacrifice — including family time, health, profits, and client success — and why those decisions were just as important.

If you’re building from $1M to $10M… or pushing toward $50M and beyond… this episode will challenge how you think about leadership, growth, and your role as CEO.

$50M is easier to run than $10M. But it’s a different kind of hard.

Let’s talk about it.
