STIR

David’s journey isn’t conventional. He transitioned from full-time ministry into technology sales in 2007, not with the intention of owning a company, but simply to gain experience Within a year, that stepping stone turned into a vision: ownership. By 2015, he became a partner at Rite Technology, and over the last decade, he’s helped evolve the company from a traditional copier and print business into a multi-division technology provider offering: 

But this episode goes far deeper than business strategy. 

David shares: 

🔑 Why consistency is the hardest part of entrepreneurship 

With 27+ employees (and growing), David talks openly about the reality of leadership — the challenges of developing people, the discipline of early mornings (4:15 AM starts), and the responsibility of stewarding a business without letting the business own you 

He also shares a powerful perspective: You can’t create more time — but you can create more energy. And protecting that energy through gratitude, discipline, and faith is what sustains long-term leadership. If you're a business owner, executive, or aspiring entrepreneur looking for depth beyond surface-level success talk, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Stir, we sit down with Johnny Carson, owner of Carson Roofing in South Florida, to talk about entrepreneurship, leadership, risk, and building a business the right way. Johnny didn’t “fall into” construction, he started on job sites at just 10 years old. From sweeping floors and pounding nails to running his own roofing company, construction is all he’s ever known Now, with nearly a decade in business and a 5-star reputation, Johnny shares what it really takes to survive and grow in a high-risk, high-pressure industry. 

In this conversation, we cover: 

✏️ Starting young and learning the trade from the ground up 

Johnny also opens up about the emotional side of the roofing business, helping homeowners after devastating hurricanes, watching people lose everything, and still showing up to serve with integrity. What makes Carson Roofing different? According to Johnny: He shows up. He shakes your hand. He stands behind the work. And he does what he says he’s going to do In a world chasing shortcuts, Johnny’s philosophy is simple: “Just do honest work and charge an honest wage.” If you’re an entrepreneur, contractor, or small business owner navigating growth, risk, and responsibility, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Stir, we sit down with Audrey Gordon, Founder & CEO of Pearl Consulting, for a powerful conversation about business, government, leadership, and building something that lasts. 

Audrey brings a rare combination of public service experience, executive leadership, and entrepreneurial drive. With decades of experience in government relations, healthcare leadership, and governance, she now helps small-to-midsize enterprises, nonprofits, and healthcare organizations not just survive — but thrive. 

From immigrating to Canada from Jamaica at age five, to watching her father build his own business from the ground up, Audrey’s entrepreneurial spirit was shaped early. After years in public service in Manitoba and earning her MBA from the Asper School of Business, she launched Pearl Consulting in December 2024 with a global vision. In this episode, Audrey shares: Why everything in business is impacted by government policy How organizations often talk to the wrong level of government (and how to fix it) The importance of governance, strategic planning, and leadership training Why being “teachable” is a superpower in business How mentors helped her navigate business lulls The power of niching down while thinking globally Why she built Pearl Consulting to operate across Canada, the U.S., and the Caribbean Audrey also opens up about motivation, delegation, burnout, and the importance of staying connected to the front lines of the industries you serve. Whether it’s sitting in an emergency department to understand patient flow or joining local business alliances to build relationships, her philosophy is simple: learn by being present. Outside of business, Audrey stays active with tennis, golf, pickleball, and even competitive weightlifting — proving that discipline, consistency, and training your body (and mind) matter in every area of life. If you're a business owner, nonprofit leader, healthcare executive, or entrepreneur looking to better understand how government decisions shape your success, this episode is for you.

He moved to Sarasota looking for a change… and ended up finding a new life: love, marriage, and ownership of a family flooring company—Jack Dean Flooring. In this episode, Ramin shares how he went from IT infrastructure and hospital systems to learning flooring from the ground up, modernizing an established business, and leading with a customer-first mindset built on transparency and reputation. 

One of the best lines in the episode? The company motto that still guides him today: “I don’t want to see you in Publix on aisle 4 and have to hide in aisle 5.” 

In our interview with Ramin Mesghali, we also talk about what it’s like stepping into a legacy, the learning curve of going from a 500+ person corporate IT environment to small business ownership, and how giving back through nonprofit work keeps the mission bigger than the day-to-day.
