Lessons Learned From Rapid Business Growth & Laying Off Your Employees with Michael Bauman

Struggles, we all face them. In school, in work, in our personal lives, and in our relationships. If we use the lessons we learn from the struggles we face to inspire the rest of our choices, there’s no saying what we can’t achieve.

Join me in this episode as I speak with landscaper, entrepreneur, and opportunist, Michael Bauman, about the lessons he’s learned from starting a business, the dangers of achieving rapid business growth, and how he’s recovering after recently firing several valuable employees.

I connected with Michael through TikTok where he’s been interviewing his team members and creating content from the discussions. Michael embraces discomfort and talks to his employees about real life stuff. From marriage advice to real exit interviews, he and his team are providing insightful entertainment for days! So, I welcomed Michael on LnM to discuss some of his own personal insights he’s gained along his entrepreneurial journey.

“Having a team around you to especially make up your weaknesses is how you succeed.”
– Michael Bauman
