  • The Real Story Behind 4X Growth: Logan’s Truth (2nd Gen Hardwood)
    Feb 17 2026

    Logan Sharbono from 2nd Gen Hardwood is back, because he felt the first episode didn’t tell the full story.

    In this update, Logan goes deeper into the part most people skip: the failures, the blind spots, the leadership mistakes, and the personal rock-bottom moments that forced real change.

    You’ll hear how he went from “whip-cracking task master” leadership to servant leadership… and how that internal shift translated into external results: a massive revenue jump (from the $500K range to roughly $1.8M), a team that can run without him, and the ability to take a full week off with no fires to put out.

    This episode is about what it actually takes to turn your business into a tool for freedom, not an obligation that owns you.

    In this conversation, we cover:

    • Toxic leadership habits Logan had to confront
    • The mindset + systems shift that created momentum without “more chaos”
    • How Logan thinks about growth, delegation, and building a career path for his team

    If you’re a business owner who wants growth and freedom… this one will hit.

  • The 3 Hidden Profit Leaks in Countertop Shops (Payroll, Inventory, Throughput) with Jason Laski
    Jan 20 2026

    If you run a countertop fabrication shop and you’re busier than ever… but you’re still wondering where the money went at the end of the month, this episode is for you.

    In today’s episode of the Driven for Growth Podcast, I sit down with Jason Laskey, our Strategic Growth Advisor for the stone and flooring divisions. Jason has spent years inside high-output stone operations, including helping scale a shop from one saw, one router, and nine guys producing ~600 sq ft/week to 50 employees, multiple saws/routers, an inline, and ~$20M/year in revenue.

    Together, we break down the three “hidden” profit leaks that quietly drain margin in most countertop shops:

    • Payroll & overhead (and how shops misjudge true labor cost vs. output)

    • Inventory management (the “death by a thousand cuts” that destroys cash and margins)

    • Production rate & throughput (why not knowing your real output wrecks pricing and scheduling)

    We also get into the real reason these issues don’t get fixed: most owners and managers are so focused on getting jobs out the door that they don’t have a clean, simple way to measure what matters—and that creates expensive blind spots.


    If you’re ready to stop leaking profit and start running a tighter, more predictable shop, this one will hit home.

    • Starting Farmhouse Stone as a one-woman operation
    • What explosive growth actually feels like when volume outpaces structure
    • How reclaiming ownership of her time and energy has been life changing
    • The systems, communication protocols, and playbooks that gave her breathing room again

    This episode is especially relevant if you:

    • Are doing $3M–$15M+ and feel constant pressure

    • Know something has to change, but don’t know where to start
