In this episode, Wade sits down with Jacky Fischer, the unstoppable CEO of 3 Men Movers, one of the largest privately-owned moving companies in Texas.

Jacky’s entrepreneurial journey began in the most unexpected way—when her father’s massive stroke in 2002 left her with the responsibility of taking over the family moving business. Armed with what she calls her “degree from the school of hard knocks” and later an MBA from Rice University, Jacky transformed 3 Men Movers from a $3 million-a-year mom-and-pop shop into a $40+ million industry leader.

Her path wasn’t traditional. She grew up working in an array of quirky family businesses, gaining hands-on experience that shaped her into a fearless leader and problem solver. Today, she’s not just running a thriving company—she’s also the author of The Growth Paradox, a no-nonsense guide to scaling without falling into the traps that destroy most growing businesses.

He first built two successful digital marketing businesses: a traffic-driving agency and BestCompany.com, a consumer review platform generating qualified leads for major U.S. service providers.
