Your Standards at Home Show Up at Work - Caleb Storts

Most people talk about winning. This conversation is about the cost of trying to win too fast — and what it takes to build a life that can actually hold the weight of the business. In this episode of The Journey, Ricardo sits down with Caleb for a raw, practical talk that moves from the realities of scaling a lawn care/home service business (systems, hiring, leadership, money) into the parts nobody wants to admit out loud: relationship standards, emotional discipline, and the seasons where you feel “locked in”… but you’re actually breaking your foundation. If you’re a builder, creator, entrepreneur — or a man trying to grow without losing yourself — this one is a watch-to-the-end episode.
