Episode notes
In this episode of Head, Heart, and Boots, Brandon and I sit down with Sam Chapman , owner of Merit Restorations and partner in CaseCo and 1-Tom Plumber, to talk about building businesses, leading people, and the real work behind growth. Sam shares his journey from a blue collar upbringing to building multiple companies, and how he’s approached scaling through partnerships, culture, and intentional leadership. We also get into the hard lessons. From avoiding accountability to rebuilding a broken culture, Sam walks through what it took to reset his team and raise the standard across the business. This is a conversation about ownership, discipline, and doing the internal work required to lead well at home and in business.
