SEASON: 6 EPISODE: 13

Episode Overview:

Welcome back to Becoming Preferred, the podcast for entrepreneurs and professionals who are tired of being an option and are ready to become the preferred provider in the markets they serve.

Our guest today is a man who doesn't just build businesses; he builds ecosystems of opportunity. Reed Nyffeler is the Co-Founder and CEO of Signal, a global security powerhouse that he scaled from a local startup into a massive franchise network spanning hundreds of locations.

But Reed isn't your typical 'grind-until-you-break' CEO. He is a lifelong entrepreneur who believes that a business should serve your life—not consume it. Through his books Lead Exponentially and Transform Through Purpose, he teaches leaders how to step out of the daily whirlwind and into a role of true stewardship.

Today, we’re going to deconstruct how he professionalized a fragmented industry, why he’s obsessed with lowering the barrier of entry for the next generation of leaders, and how you can stop being a 'superhero' in your business so you can finally start being a leader. Join me for my conversation with Reed Nyffeler.
