In this episode, I sit down with third-generation stone shop owner Mike Ganassa for a candid look at the realities of running and growing a fabrication business today.

Mike shares what it was like stepping into the family business, the hardest parts of managing a shop, and the turning point that pushed him to start building systems instead of trying to do everything himself. He also opens up about where he sees the stone industry heading, and why he’s positioning his company toward higher-end, more complex work as competition rises.

You’ll hear Mike walk through his experience installing the B2B marketing machine, building a real prospecting database, and discovering there were far more opportunities in his market than he imagined. He also talks about buying back his time, delegating more, and beginning the process of capturing playbooks so the business can scale without leaning so heavily on him.

If you’re a stone, tile, or countertop shop owner trying to break out of the “do-everything” cycle, Mike’s story will give you a grounded look at what it takes to gain control, build consistency, and grow with confidence.

In this episode, I sit down with Logan Sharbono of 2Gen Hardwood to break down one of the most powerful transformations we have seen inside Driven for Growth.

Logan went from a feast-or-famine operator, burnt out and stuck in hero mode, to leading a stable, fast-growing hardwood company that doubled revenue in under a year.

We unpack the mindset shifts, systems, and leadership habits that moved him from reactive chaos to a business that can grow without pulling him back into the field.

In this episode, we cover:

• How Logan doubled revenue from $560K to $1.1M in 10 months
• Breaking the feast-or-famine cycle for good
• Reclaiming time and stepping out of the day-to-day
• Building crews, a sales engine, and a reliable B2B pipeline
• The leadership habits that changed his life at home and at work

If you’re stuck running the whole business yourself and want to hear what real transformation looks like, this is a must-listen.
