Running a Successful Construction Business! Construction Champions Podcast 2-40 Rodric Lenhart
Host Ron Nussbaum engages in a lively conversation with guest Rodric Lenhart on the Construction Champions podcast. They discuss the importance of changing mindsets in the construction industry, creating sustainable businesses, understanding customer emotions, and building businesses that allow for personal freedom and growth.
About Rodric
In Million Dollar Flip Flops, I share insights from 2 decades of in the trenches trial and error building multiple 7 figure businesses, while at the same time leading a life worth living. A lifelong entrepreneur, at 25 I was making more in a month than my parents had made in a year. I could buy and do anything I wanted.Yet... I was depressed, at times had suicidal thoughts, and awoke every morning with a sinking "is this all there is" feeling. Digging myself out of that hole, I developed systems and strategies that allowed me to live a life I couldn't have imagined. This simple process has been the filter through which I have run every decision in my life - business or otherwise - and the results have been extraordinary.
