This week on the podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Justin Laughter, the owner of Laughter Family Hardscapes in Asheville, North Carolina. Justin’s built a thriving hardscape design and construction business by staying laser-focused on delivering real value to his clients, rather than just building what they want.
Justin shares his design-first approach ensuring his clients get outdoor living spaces that truly meet their needs and lifestyle, not just the latest trends.
Justin's journey has been marked by challenges and successes, but his commitment to his craft, his employees, and his clients has been the driving force behind Laughter Family Hardscapes' continued growth.

Sean Bartz is the epitome of a hustler and grinder that cracks through the owner/operator bottleneck, builds a team that is doing what he used to do (the sales, production, and admin work aren't all bottlenecked in his head) AND is doing so profitably.
That's the power of knowing your numbers.
We discuss what it takes to build systems and processes, and get your mindset in the right place to successfully grow a team and business that doesn't put you in the entrepreneurial prison.
Catch up with Sean on his socials
