Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we dive into what it really looks like to build better systems for your field teams. We share how one missed ice machine spiraled into a bigger realization—that our team needed more than hustle and good intentions. They needed clear processes, better tools, and leaders who actually listened. From checklists to communication shifts, we break down what worked, what didn’t, and why the smallest changes often make the biggest difference.We also talk about how building better field operations isn’t just about systems—it’s about people. We share the ways we stayed connected to the crew, how feedback shaped our decisions, and why team culture can't be an afterthought. If you're tired of band-aid solutions and ready for real change, this episode will hit home.Note: For the best audio experience, we recommend listening to this episode with earphones.
