What happens to your business if you're gone tomorrow?

In this raw and brutally honest episode, Chad Murray shares two moments he nearly died—and the two wildly different outcomes for his business. In 2006, his appendix ruptured… and his business went bankrupt. In 2021, his lungs failed from COVID… but his business hit $100K weeks without him.

This is the tale of building a business that’s dependent on YOU... versus one that runs without you.

💥 The truth is: Most service businesses are one injury, one illness, or one burnout away from total collapse. Chad learned the hard way—and now helps business owners build scalable systems so they never go through what he did.

⚠️ If your business can't operate without you, this video could save your future.
