029: The Biggest Barriers When Scaling Beyond $5 million with Doug Thorpe

Most $3–10M home service businesses don't fail from lack of sales.
They fail from hidden financial leaks, broken pricing, and decisions that quietly destroy cash flow and valuation.

The Turnaround Boardroom is a private conversation for growth-minded operators who know their business is underperforming—but still believe it can be fixed.

This show dissects:
  • Why profit disappears despite rising revenue
  • How labor, pricing, and overhead silently crush cash flow
  • What banks and buyers actually see when they look at your numbers
  • And what decisive owners do to reverse the damage

Hosted by a turnaround-focused CFO who works behind the scenes inside $3–10M home service companies, this is where real financial conversations finally happen.

If your business looks successful on the outside—but feels tight, stressful, or fragile underneath—this show is for you.
