Key Discussion Points:

1. The Power of an Advisory Board in Scaling Growth: Drew shared how he leveraged an advisory board to triple or even quadruple his business growth.

2. Innovation Without Proportional Headcount Growth

One of the biggest challenges for growing businesses is scaling operations without exponentially increasing costs.

His journey of trusting others with his "baby" and focusing on the strategic direction of the company is something every Founder can relate to, especially those struggling to let go of control as they scale.

4. Building a Values-Based Business in a Profit-Driven World:

In an industry often focused on profits over people, Drew discussed the importance of maintaining a values-based approach, where customer outcomes and employee satisfaction take precedence. This philosophy differentiates Horsell by building a loyal client base and a committed team—key ingredients for long-term success.
