In this final part of the series, Andrew Houston delivers a clear message: retaining A-players is the real driver of business growth. Leaders must know who they want, how to attract them, and how to build systems that keep top performers in place.

He highlights the Value Journey as a core business strategy. Every touchpoint—from first contact to onboarding—must be intentional to close the gap where companies often lose great talent.

The episode closes with a decisive takeaway: scalable growth requires investing in coaching, strategy, and systems. If an advisor can’t show a rapid ROI, they’re not the right fit. Progress comes from applying proven principles with discipline.

This episode wraps up Part 3 of our series, bringing together our host’s leadership insights and our guest’s systems for turning tradespeople into long-term business champions.
