Episode notes

Episode Title Options In this episode of the Childcare Business Growth podcast live from CBG Live, we’re joined by Darren Jones to dive into an unfiltered conversation about business growth, mindset shifts, and real estate ownership. Darren walks us through his journey starting with an in-home daycare setup - building mock classrooms out of shoeboxes as a kid - to growing an empire serving over 600 children across multiple centers and diversifying into commercial real estate, restaurants, and hospitality. Key Topics Covered: Starting small: Moving from summer programs in a 4-bedroom house to multi-facility operations. The 60-day lease notice that proved why you must own your building rather than just the business. How a massive tax bill became the catalyst for smart reinvestment and commercial portfolio growth. Why removing emotion from leadership is vital to keeping staff empowered and operations scalable.
