In this episode, we talk about company culture and how we implement systems to drive it in each of our businesses. Great company culture isn't rocket science, but it does take intentionality. We promise that if you invest in your teams, it will pay off in the long run. And while your competitors are complaining about not being able to find good employees, you'll be planning you're next growth strategy.

Sean’s family has been running Ambrose Funeral Home for decades. He’s seen it all! As a business owner, caring for people is always the most important thing, especially in the funeral home business. We actually had a fun conversation about the business of death! How the business works and how they navigated changing times, including Covid, was an eye-opening conversation.

Who's Ryan Grimes?
I've created a healthy, profitable, thriving, multi-million dollar business in what some call a short period of time. I vow to put my God, wife, and children first. I won't miss a soccer game, a dance recital, or a parent-teacher conference. I won't allow my business to own me, I own my business, and that’s what I want for you. It wasn’t an easy journey for me, I sure didn’t know anything when I got started but I always have the mindset of, we can figure this out, or as my dad would say: there are many ways to dig a hole. I’ve created something to be proud of and that’s what we’re going to do for you. If you saw my resume, it would include a college degree, many sales courses from renowned and famous salespeople, 4 master technician licenses, an MHIC license, 2 patents, and two successful, profitable businesses. To me, nothing on my resume is important, it’s important to me that I have quality time with my family, my friends, and the men whom I pour into, and the ones that pour into me.
Who's Nate Wigley?
Hi! I'm Nate. I love building relationships based on trust, and I enjoy solving problems and creating systems that help teams be more efficient. This podcast is all about business and work, but to be honest, the most important titles in my life are husband, father, and friend. I am a lifelong learner, and I've strived to honor God with my family, business, and ministry by encouraging people to be their best while I've pushed to be my best.
When I'm not working, I'm in the wilderness on roads less traveled with my family and friends, riding mountain bikes or backpacking. I honestly feel more at home in the woods than anywhere else. And I love whisking my bride away on weekend adventures as frequently as possible!
I studied business and biblical studies in college and after getting married I helped run the family’s independent automotive repair business, growing it every year. I carry all of the automotive certifications that you can have, and I spent many years happily “turning wrenches” as a technician.
