In today’s show, Steve interviews Alex Dalpiaz, Head of Sales, Madewell Concrete.

This show starts with Alex recalling his life as a student at Clemson University. Alex admits that he lacked clarity and was running on autopilot. This is when he came across Young Entrepreneurs Across America. 

So, what drew Alex to YEAA in the first place? And, did he have the necessary skills to operate a painting business successfully?

In the next segment of the show, Alex reveals some of the biggest challenges that he faced as a 19-year old running a painting business. Here, listeners will learn why stepping out of one’s comfort zone is critical for growth and personal development. 

This opportunity to continuously imbibe new learnings meant that Alex stayed with YEAA for 7 long and extremely fruitful years.

Post-YEAA, Alex worked with some startups in the SAAS space before eventually transitioning to a concreting company, Madewell Concrete.

The last segment of the show is particularly interesting as Alex talks about this current role as Head of Sales at Madewell. How did Alex and his team manage to attain a 400% growth over the last year? And, what steps are they taking to expand their presence to 28 US locations and become a $100m business? Listeners will also learn how establishing systems and processes can help drive customer satisfaction.
