Listen Later

In this episode of The Flywheel Effect, hosts Brent Sonnek-Schmelz and Matt Bernath talk with Ron Callis, founder and CEO of One Firefly, about building a resilient business. He details the early days of his engineering services company and the hard lessons learned from launching a business without proper market research, which led to a near-total failure in 2015.

Facing a critical moment, Ron made the courageous decision to eliminate 95% of his company. He pivoted to focus on a small but successful marketing division. This radical shift required a complete cultural overhaul, built on the principles of trust, healthy conflict, and a shared vision. He explains how this process helped him create a truly aligned team.

Ron believes that business challenges are a reflection of the leader. He discusses his own journey of self-awareness, the importance of personal health, and his commitment to continuous learning. This conversation offers a powerful lesson on how a leader's personal growth directly fuels a business's success.
