–Josh Salinger, Construction Business Owner, Portland, Ore.
There was a particular moment when Josh Salinger knew something was very wrong with the way he had been running his construction business,
Birdsmouth Construction. He had scaled up the operation that he started years earlier, taking on more and larger projects and adding staff to keep pace with the demand for services. But after one of the company’s projects was sold, built, and completed, Josh realized that he had never even met the clients. And while he valued the trust he had in his team, he felt disconnected from the process and people that made building a joy.
