The Blueprint for Building Leaders in the Trades | Aaron Behunin

Every company wants growth — few build the leaders to sustain it.

In this episode of The $100 Million Mindset, Todd Liles and Alan O'Neill sit down with Aaron Behunin, General Manager of Abacus Austin, to break down how the trades produce world-class leaders — one ride-along, one conversation, and one training session at a time.

Aaron shares how leadership in the trades isn't about titles or meetings — it's about showing up, training daily, and building people with trust, humility, and accountability.

This is the real blueprint for creating a leadership-driven culture inside a home service business.

In This Episode:

-How Abacus Austin built a leadership-driven culture

-Why daily training creates consistency and confidence

-Coaching through confrontation (without losing trust)

-How to turn technicians into future leaders

-The difference between managing and leading in the trades

"You don't build a business — you build leaders. And leaders build the business." — Aaron Behunin
