His Business Success Bought Him A Pro Basketball Team!

34 minutes

He bought a landscaping company for $50,000… built multiple businesses… started a pro basketball league… and now helps contractors make an extra six figures just by understanding their numbers. This conversation with Ian McCarthy was one of the most eye-opening we’ve had!

This one went way deeper than I expected.. In this episode, we talked about how he built, sold, rebuilt, and scaled multiple companies, why most business owners are flying blind financially, and how his new course helps contractors stop guessing and start making money on purpose. If you’re in home services, construction, or any kind of business where margins matter, this episode is a real eye-opener!
