Do you want the secret on how to run a successful business?

In this episode, Bryan Clayton, CEO & Founder of GreenPal shares how he was able to grow his company profitably without any external capital.  He explains what he’s learned from his failures and successes over the past 10 years.

Why not grow organically?  It’s cheaper and can be faster.  Bryan provides insights into how he used AI technology to create and deliver value to GreenPal consumers.

Bryan also believes one major contributing factor to his success was developing and growing through an org chart.  Maybe leaders never seriously consider an org chart and how it can drive an organization. 

GreenPal, known as "Uber for lawn care" is entirely self-funded, a rare accomplishment in the startup world.  They have grown rapidly and now serve over 200,000 active users, completing thousands of transactions per day.  The company has been profitable since its first year of operation.  Annual revenue now exceeds $30 million.

Are you doing $30 million after 10 years in business without giving away part of your company to outside investors? 

If not, or even if you’re doing that well, join us to hear part of Bryan’s story.  There’s something here that can help you grow your organization.
