How Wrestling with the Famed Iowa Hawkeyes helped build a $100M General Contracting Firm

Join me as I sit down with Jordan Kader, Business Development Director at MLCO Construction, for a powerful conversation about the unexpected path that led him to the self-storage industry. A former wrestler with "cauliflower ears" to show for it, Jordan shares how his time on the mat instilled a relentless work ethic and discipline that he now applies to his professional life. We discuss the critical role of a "wrestling mentality" in business, where natural talent is not enough, and extra effort is essential for success. Jordan emphasizes that building a strong team and company culture is vital for growth. He tells me he's focused on communication and responsiveness, and that "the proof is in the pudding". Looking ahead, Jordan has an ambitious goal for MLCO Construction, aiming for a "100 million dollar" increase in 2026.
