Leader is not a synonym for firefighter.
With the one notable exception — actual firefighters — if you spend all day putting out fires at your business…
You’re too busy to lead.
That’s one of countless lessons today’s guests, Eric Sprague & Larry Wilberton, Owners of Blue Collar Consulting and MorningTechMeeting.com , have learned over their many years working together — lessons they’re now teaching others through advising.
They join me today to discuss:

- Why your teams home life is inseparable from their work life
- How to use morning meetings to improve every facet of your business
- How to spend 30+ years in business with a friend (without strangling them)
