Life Updates & Leadership Lessons


Listen Later

Success changes when your responsibilities change.


For Dakota Lang and Garrett Cotten, this season is about much more than sales. Their families are growing, their teams are expanding, and their leadership is evolving. As their responsibilities increase, so does their focus on building stronger systems, developing people, and creating organizations that can scale.


Episode 90 is a behind-the-scenes conversation about where life and business stand today. Dakota shares what it's been like welcoming his first daughter, while Garrett talks about preparing for baby number three. From there, the conversation moves into regional growth, leadership philosophy, recruiting, simplifying systems, golf as a leadership exercise, and why building people will always outperform chasing short-term production.
