Today, Tim breaks down one of the most misunderstood (and underutilized) tools in business: metrics. From lead sources to customer retention to cash flow and personal energy—what you measure is what you improve.

This episode is all about getting clarity, speed, and control by tracking the numbers that actually move the needle—without getting buried in spreadsheets or wasting time on the wrong data. If you're making decisions based on feelings instead of facts, you're not running a business… you’re rolling the dice.

Whether you're running one truck or managing a $200K/month operation, this episode gives you the practical steps to build your own CEO dashboard, simplify your data, and use your numbers to lead with confidence.

Oh—and yes, there’s a dad joke too. Why did the KPI bring a notebook to the meeting? Because it wanted to take notes on how to measure up.

Today, Tim pulls back the curtain on one of the most dangerous and overlooked threats to entrepreneurs and leaders: burnout—not just how it drains you, but how it slowly creates distance with the people who matter most.

If you’ve ever told yourself “I’m doing this for my family,” but haven’t had a real conversation with them in weeks, this one’s for you. In this episode, we explore what burnout really looks like, the subtle signs it’s hurting your home, and how to rebuild trust and presence before it’s too late.

We’re talking practical tools, deep questions, and yes—there’s a dad joke, because hard truths go down better with a little laughter.
