Chris Yano did everything right. He built his company on one rule: reputation over revenue. Then he sold it to private equity to scale it, and within a year, he was on the bench, watching strangers run the thing he built. This is the conversation every owner thinking about selling needs to hear.…
Two techs. Same house. Same problem. Two completely different prices. That gap is the most expensive problem in your business, and most owners have never put a number on it. In a six-tech shop, it's $600,000 a year. Here's the part that's hard to hear: it's not your techs. They're good people do…
The trucks roll. The revenue's there. But you keep hitting the same wall and sliding back. You blame the market, your people, the economy. It's none of those. Your company cannot grow bigger than your capacity to lead it. And right now, that capacity is the ceiling. Todd Liles and Alan O'Neill b…
Matt Posda bought a company that was 98% new construction. Built the service side from scratch. $35 million by 2025. No private equity. He's in Morris Jenkins' backyard. Instead of fighting for one city, he built nine markets across the Carolinas. His apprenticeship program has put ten classes…

Contractors asked what they'd want to know from the owner of a $150 million plumbing company. Nobody asked about marketing. Nobody asked about AI. Every question was about systems. Todd Liles and Alan O'Neill answer those questions. They also cover why fear is the real reason most owners don't…
There's a version of this story where nothing changes. A bad decision turns into a pattern. A pattern turns into a life. But that's not what happened here. In this episode, Shane Viggiani shares how he took one of the lowest points of his life—and used it to build something structured, discipli…
If your service quality drops every time your revenue climbs, you do not have a growth problem. You have a standards problem that will destroy your business valuation. In this episode of The $100 Million Mindset, hosts Todd Liles and Alan O'Neill sit down with Kevin Doran, GM of Sano Heating &…
