Summary
Every Friday Dodge gets interviewed by Co-Host Mark Masters (You Are The Media).
Dodge and Mark get into the moment every business owner eventually faces, when what you've built starts to outgrow you. Dodge talks about letting go of control, hiring people who are better than you at the things you're not, and why the lifestyle business model beats chasing an empire. He also opens up about spotting a gap in the market during Covid, building and selling a business he never planned to start, and why curiosity and staying nimble will always take you further than having a rigid plan.
