In this episode, Dan talks through a question he’s been sitting on for weeks. What do you actually want your life and work to look like in the next 5 to 10 years?

Not surface-level answers but real answers.

He gets into why he’s never connected with traditional goal setting, what actually matters instead, and the uncomfortable truth that most of us already know what we need to do, we just don’t do it.

No fluff. Just a hard look at direction, discipline, and the actions it takes to get where you say you want to go.

In this episode, Dan walks through how he actually bids a commercial job—from the first look to submitting a number.

This isn’t theory. This is the real thought process behind deciding whether a job is worth bidding, what to look for in plans and specs, where most people miss critical details, and how small mistakes in the bid turn into big losses in the field.

If you’ve ever wondered why some jobs look good on paper but lose money in reality, this episode breaks it down step by step.

Too many people talk about what they’re going to do… and never take a single step. They like the idea of success, but they never actually move.

In this episode, we break down what it really takes to separate yourself from average:

• Why doing the minimum will keep you exactly where you are

• What “doing more than expected” actually looks like in real business

• How your self-talk is holding you back more than anything else

• The excuses that are quietly killing your progress

• Why most people don’t fail because they can’t… they fail because they never start

This isn’t for everyone.

But if you’re serious about getting better—this one will hit.

At the end of the day, it comes down to one question:

Are you going to keep talking… or are you finally going to get to work?

S4 EP6: Financial Info You Need To Know – Part 2 (Balance Sheets)

In this episode of the Powerhouse Fence Show, we continue our breakdown of the financial information every business owner should understand.

Last episode we covered the basics — revenue, cost of goods sold, margins, expenses, and how to read a Profit & Loss statement. In this episode we move to the other critical financial document many contractors overlook: the Balance Sheet.

We break down assets, liabilities, equity, working capital, and key financial ratios in simple terms and explain why a company can show profit but still run out of cash.

If you run a business and don’t understand your financial statements, you’re operating blind. This episode will help you better understand the true financial health of your company.

When disaster hits your business, how do you respond?

In this raw, makeshift episode of Powerhouse Fence Show, Dan Turbeville jumps on the mic from his desk — not the studio — after discovering a serious issue inside his estimating software, Simpalo. What started as a simple subscriber message about incorrect gate calculations quickly turned into a deep dive through development versions, production environments, backend systems, and dozens of manual tests.

This episode is a real-time look at leadership under pressure.

More than a tech breakdown, this is a conversation about responsibility, integrity, and the weight of running a company when things go wrong.

Because in business, it’s not if disaster strikes — it’s how you respond when it does.

This week’s episode is a high-level overview of the very basics of a few financial terms and one very important financial document. It is crucial that anyone who owns or runs a business understand these principles. It is extremely beneficial if all key personnel understand. It’seven better if everyone understands. Don’t try to run your business without this!!

This week’s episode is part 2 of the Be Careful What You Consume series.

This week Dan goes into the question a lot of you should be asking… why do you want to do commercial fence? Is it because you actually should or because you have been consuming something you shouldn’t?

This week Dan begins a series called Be Careful What you Consume. This episode is all about intentionally selecting what you listen to vs what you truly consume. Just because someone special said it doesn’t mean it applies to you. Be careful what you keep and discard the rest.

Fence is what we sell. It’s not what creates the business.

In this episode, we challenge the traditional way fence companies think about growth. What will the next generation of great fence companies actually look like? How do you think outside the box that’s holding you back? And how do systems, data, and leverage eventually outperform trucks, crews, and brute force?
