In this episode, Dale and Brian dive into the axiom "Don't eat your seed corn," a powerful metaphor for long-term growth in both business and life. They share personal stories from their early entrepreneurial days, explaining how they chose to reinvest every bit of early profit back into their business—even at the expense of personal comfort.


By resisting the temptation of instant gratification, they prioritized long-term success over short-term reward. The episode explores the idea of treating your business like a “baby” to nurture rather than a “cow” to milk—emphasizing the importance of reinvestment, delayed gratification, and building relational capital. 


Whether you’re growing a business, a relationship, or your own personal development, this episode encourages a mindset focused on the future harvest.



Episode Highlights: 

  • What is seed corn?
  • Instant gratification vs. delayed gratification.
  • Are you adding value or extracting value in relationships?
