Most people think scaling a company is about growth.
More revenue. More people. More markets.
But the reality is, what gets you to $5M… or even $20M… is not what gets you to $500M.
In this episode of The Long Game, Josh sits down with IHS CEO Jay Teresi to talk about what it actually takes to run a $500M+ home services company.
From leadership and decision-making to building teams and creating alignment at scale, this conversation breaks down the shift from being an operator to leading an organization.
They cover:
What changes as a company scales
Where most leaders struggle when they step out of the day-to-day
How to build teams that can operate without you
The difference between managing and truly leading
Why growth alone doesn’t create a great business
Jay brings decades of experience leading at scale, including his time at The Home Depot, and now as CEO of Infinity Home Services.
If you’re building a company and thinking about what the next stage looks like, this is a conversation worth paying attention to.
Infinity Home Services is on a mission to save our communities from unscrupulous contractors by partnering with great operators across the country.
