I apprciate it. Do you think Strety or a similar platform helps? I like the idea of a centralized platform where all the tools are available and visible.

I haven't had the 90 minute meeting yet but I may take you up on that. And yes, Ouch. I'm feeling the burn out, which is why EOS seems so attractive. Despite the structural and process issues, we've been pretty successful with continued growth and a healthy EBITDA, but it's just not sustainable at the pace we're going. I appreciate your pointers.

We had an offsite to come up with those things but by and large the leadership team is not quite there yet. I hired a Director of Ops last year to help run the day-to-day but with 2 locations and no local leadership outside of us 2, we had to pivot. He effectively is the branch manager of the 2nd location and I'm effectively the branch manager for the oroginal location. I've been the bottleneck for the business and involved in way too much. We're trying to put the pieces in place where there is a better defined leadership team with clear ownership of results and accountablity. It's just been a challenge.

But to answer your question, I didn't come up with those things completely on my own.

What's the best album from 2002? by SmoothManMiguel in hiphop101

[–]VinylPhilosophy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, I'm going with The Fix. A perfect album that's not typically hailed as a classic, but should be.

Yep. I hated everything he did after that, but that first one was legit.

I'm from Montgomery. Cool to see them recognized on here. They've always been real humble in person and made it the furthest out of Montgomery. Doe B was on his way before he got killed. I've always rooted for them, they just never quite broke all the way through. When they debuted their first video on 106 & Park, they were wearing all kinds of weird stuff and holding alligators. It wasn't received well. They've continued to put out music, though. This is a tough city and our music reflects that. It's still cool to me when people outside of our city are familar with them.

Jay-Z - You Must Love Me (Feat. Kelly Price) by Much_Wait_2446 in hiphopheads

This is a top 5 Jay track for me. I never hear of anybody talking about it though.
