If your business can't run without you, you don't own it. It owns you.I lived that for years. I thought the next hire would fix it. Then the next big month. Neither did.
October 19-21, I'm hosting the Contractor Freedom Summit in Richardson, Texas. Three days with residential contractors who are done being the bottleneck in their own company.
Here's what most events get wrong. You fill a notebook, you fly home fired up, and by Friday nothing has changed. You can't delegate conviction, and you can't install a plan you never wrote down.
So we built this one backwards. You don't leave with notes. You leave with a Freedom Roadmap:
- Your stage, diagnosed. Circus, Ringleader, Producer, or Owner. You'll find out exactly where your business sits and why it's stuck there.
- Your bottleneck, named. Self, Others, or Systems. One wall is holding you. We'll find it and face it.
- Your next 90 days, mapped. The specific moves, in the specific order, written down before you walk out of the building.
THREE DAYS. THREE WALLS.
SELF - The business can only become what the leader becomes. This is where the door unlocks.
OTHERS - Culture is not what you say. Culture is what you tolerate. Build the team that owns it.
SYSTEMS - You cannot scale chaos. Make it run without you.
WHO'S IN THE ROOM
No theorists. No gurus. Contractors and operators who have actually done it, including my own leadership team - the people who run Phillips Home Improvements without me.
Konrad Derheim started over in an Oklahoma town of 25,000. He went from $960K to $1.8M in his first year with us, and he's tracking past $3.5M now. He also golfs on Tuesday afternoons, because the business doesn't need him to survive the day.
Zach Arcuri took his gross profit from 38% to nearly 60% and crossed $5M. The bigger number: he's home for dinner.
Both of them will be on the stage in October. Ask them anything.
THIS ROOM IS NOT FOR EVERYONE
It's for you if you run a residential contracting company, you're profitable but trapped, and you're willing to face the truth about your own leadership. That's where progress starts.
It's not for you if you want motivation without change, or you'd rather be the hero of every crisis than build a team that prevents them.
BRING YOUR TEAM
Come alone and you'll go home alone. The owners who get the fastest results bring their key leaders, because people support what they help create.
October 19-21, 2026

Seats are capped on purpose. This room is built for conversations, not a crowd.
A year from now you'll be a year older. The only question is whether you'll be free.
