How do you scale fast without letting the business consume your life? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Josh Davis—a 5x founder, turnaround expert, and one of Canada’s Top 40 Under 40—who built one of the country’s fastest-growing logistics companies and sold it to a major North American transportation firm just three years after launch.

Josh gets real about the tradeoffs of rapid growth. Early on, “revenue will solve most problems” was the mantra—but he also shares what he’d do differently to avoid becoming the bottleneck, protect family time, and build teams that decide and act without him. He explains why exit planning isn’t just “sell the company,” how to think about life after a deal (“the PE email shuts off—and then what?”), And why true success is a business that serves your life.

You’ll learn:
-How to scale underperforming companies with clarity and operational excellence
-Practical ways to get out of the weeds and stop being the bottleneck
-Preparing for exit while keeping options open (you don’t have to sell to “exit”)
-People-first leadership that drives performance and culture

If you’re growing, turning around, or prepping a company for exit, this is a playbook you can actually use.

More About Josh:
Josh Davis is a 5x founder, business acquirer, and turnaround expert with multiple exits—including to a U.S. private equity–backed firm. Known for scaling underperforming companies fast, Josh blends grit, faith, and operational excellence to help founders grow with clarity and purpose. As Co-Founder and CEO, he built one of Canada’s fastest-growing logistics startups—scaling it from the ground up before it was acquired by one of North America’s largest transportation companies just three years after launch. Today, he runs JL Davis Enterprises alongside his wife Loretta, acquiring businesses and consulting founders on how to scale, build high-performance teams, and prepare for exit. Grounded in faith and family values, Josh brings a no-fluff, people-first approach to business. He’s been named one of Canada’s Top 40 Under 40—and believes true success means building a business that serves your life, not the other way around.

Join us for an insightful conversation with Amy Moore, the clinic director at the Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Red Rock. In this episode, Cam and Otis explore Amy's dedication to supporting military families through trauma-informed care and her leadership in clinical programming.

"Find out who you are and do it on purpose," Amy shares, reflecting on her journey from a military family background to leading a clinic dedicated to veterans and their families. With expertise in cognitive processing therapy and EMDR, Amy discusses the unique challenges faced by service members and the importance of empathy and resilience in behavioral health.

Whether you're interested in mental health, leadership, or veteran support, Amy's insights offer valuable lessons on compassion and purposeful living.

Amy Moore is the clinic director at the Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Red Rock in Colorado Springs. She is responsible for overseeing all clinical programming and operations. Amy is a Licensed Professional Counselor. She graduated from The University of Colorado, Colorado Springs with an M.A. in Counseling and Human Services. Amy completed her B.A. in Pastoral Care at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, OK.

Amy has experience providing therapy to people across the life span, from ages 5-75. She specializes in trauma-informed care and is trained in cognitive processing therapy and EMDR.

Amy’s father is a retired Air Force member, and she has been fortunate enough to live across the world before her family settled in Colorado Springs, CO. She has lived in the Colorado Springs community for over 20 years and has seen the hardships that veterans, service members, and their families have had to face. She is so grateful and excited to be a part of this incredible mission to serve them. In her free time, Amy enjoys skiing, hiking, cooking, lifting weights at the gy,m and earning massive eye rolls at her terrible “dad jokes”. (Just ask her team!)

Her favorite quote is “Find out who you are and do it on purpose” – Dolly Parton
