Not because social doesn’t work— but because they’re using it like a billboard. Posting updates. Announcing features. Talking about themselves. Let me be direct: Nobody logs in to see your company news. People pay attention to what helps them, teaches them, or moves them.
From One Garage to 17 States: The Power of Vision in Leadership
From One Garage to 17 States: The Power of Vision in Leadership
In 2015, Josh Bradford launched Altitude Energy, a high-voltage power line company—from his garage.
Like many young startups, it started with hustle, grit, and a fair share of chaos. “The left hand didn’t know what the right one was doing,” Josh recalls. “We spent a lot of time chasing our tails.”
Josh’s breakthrough didn’t come from working harder—it came from working smarter. That shift started when he plugged into the Dave Ramsey Solutions EntreLeadership System.
He quickly realized his team wasn’t just missing efficiency—they were missing a clear mission, vision, and values. What followed was a complete transformation.
Today, Altitude Energy operates in 17 states with 95 linemen, all aligned and executing with purpose. Instead of scrambling to figure everything out, Josh now leads with a clear playbook. The EntreLeadership System gave him the tactical tools and leadership framework to scale confidently and profitably.
Altitude Energy is now in the Peak Performer stage of business, enjoying a stronger profit margin with a leaner, sharper team. Not bad for a business that started in a garage.
“We needed a North Star. EntreLeadership gave us that—and a whole lot more.”
This is what happens when vision meets systems. When values become the engine of growth. And when a leader decides to lead on purpose.

Jeff Bezos Is Right and This Is the Advice Young Entrepreneurs Least Want to Hear
Every generation of entrepreneurs believes it’s the one that can skip steps. Start earlier. Move faster. Figure it out on the fly. That story is compelling. It’s also incomplete. In a recent Fortune article, Jeff Bezos offered advice to Gen Z that cuts directly against the dominant startup mythology: get real work experience before launching a company. Bezos didn’t say this as a critic of entrepreneurship. He said it as someone who built Amazon—starting at age 30, after nearly a decade of professional experience. This wasn’t a casual comment. It was a strategic observation.
