ROAD TO GROWTH : Success as an Entrepreneur

Ryan Crownholm - Serial Entrepreneur and U.S. Army Veteran

In this episode of the Road to Growth podcast, we are pleased to introduce you to Ryan Crownholm. Ryan is a serial entrepreneur; with a career spanning various industries, from construction to technology and beyond. A U.S. Army veteran with a background in construction as a former Class A General Engineering Contractor, Ryan has built a reputation for developing business models that not only promise but deliver immediate and sustainable returns. His expertise in identifying viable business concepts, assembling high-performing teams, and crafting strategies for customer attraction and profitability has made him a sought-after mentor and consultant.
Ryan's entrepreneurial spirit is matched by his commitment to mentorship, guiding a diverse group of individuals including entrepreneurs, CEOs, veterans, and those with past incarcerations. His mission is to champion "insubordinate entrepreneurship," aiming to reshape the landscape for small business owners and entrepreneurs.
At the helm of Crown Capital Adventures Inc. since 2014, and co-founder of Dirtmatch.com, Ryan leverages his expertise to connect contractors, homeowners, and companies in the construction industry. Mysiteplan.com, another venture founded in 2015, simplifies the permitting process for property owners with its drafting services. Beyond his businesses, Ryan fights for entrepreneurship through legal battles against restrictive laws, and as a consultant, he empowers CEOs to lead through metrics.
Ryan's dedication extends to mentoring diverse communities, aiming to share his years of experience to benefit others. He advocates for a change in how founders interact with funding, the regulatory environment for entrepreneurs, and the perception of veterans and incarcerated individuals. A member of several prestigious networks and featured in multiple publications and podcasts, Ryan continues to inspire with his insubordinate approach to entrepreneurship.
Ryan is the author of "The Hustle Trap", a compelling read that challenges the conventional glorification of relentless work and the pursuit of success at any cost. Through insightful analysis and personal anecdotes, Crownholm deconstructs the often romanticized 'hustle culture,' advocating for a more balanced approach to entrepreneurship and life. The book encourages readers to escape the trap of constant hustling, which can lead to burnout and personal sacrifice, and instead, to embrace efficiency, mindfulness, and strategic planning as tools for achieving sustainable success. Crownholm's narrative is not just a critique but a practical guide, offering strategies for entrepreneurs to optimize their time, prioritize their well-being, and achieve their goals without compromising their health or happiness. "The Hustle Trap" is an essential read for anyone caught in the cycle of perpetual work, seeking to find a harmonious balance between ambition and personal fulfillment.

Graeme Carling & Leanne Carling - Founders of Carling Group - Equity Investors

In this episode of the Road to Growth podcast, we are pleased to introduce you to Graeme Carling. Graeme is a true business success story. From humble upbringings v. Those early experiences ignited a spark in Graeme who would go on to work his way into well-paid managerial positions, but it was never enough. Graeme always wanted to work for himself, and in spite of his initial failed forays into business ownership, he was always destined for entrepreneurialism. With three failed businesses under his belt, Graeme found himself at a pretty low ebb, licking his wounds. It was at this time Graeme happened to catch the end of an Oprah Winfrey show with Rich Dad Poor Dad author, Robert Kiyosaki, which led to him committing to his own financial education. He even roped in his new girlfriend (and eventual wife) Leanne, by gifting her a copy of Kim Kiyosaki’s book, Rich Woman.
After a while, with their first child together on the way, Graeme and Leanne quit their jobs, on the same day, with modest savings in the bank to survive for the next six months, and set about building their empire together. Graeme and Leanne would spend the next 15 years, working, learning, and traveling together, as they built a business portfolio spanning multiple sectors and international locations, worth millions of pounds. With vision, commitment, and relentless effort, they’ve taken their place amongst the entrepreneurial success stories, though to them…it was never in doubt.
With an unrivalled track record for sourcing acquisitions and creative deal- making, Leanne Carling has grown group business, Carling Property Group into the largest privately-owned landlord in Scotland. She brings vast experience in consolidating fragmented sectors to her role as Mergers & Acquisitions Director of investment company United Capital. Leanne’s work ethic, energy for the next opportunity, and unique female voice in the fragmented markets space, make her an absolute expert in deal making, negotiating, and investments.
Over the last two decades, Leanne has been a driving force in more than 1,000 real estate portfolio acquisition transactions, with a value of circa £200million. The rapid growth of Carling Property Group is testament to Leanne’s talent for sourcing potential acquisitions that no-one else has identified, and buying at the right price to maximise eventual sale value. As Mergers & Acquisitions Director Leanne identifies, manages, and negotiates M&A activity to its completion. Leanne’s ability to source opportunities and construct deals that work for both buyer and seller is second to none, and is in large part responsible for delivering United Capital’s strategic goals. Leanne has delivered large-scale buy-and-build strategies across multiple sectors and her meticulous approach to deal sourcing and pipeline/ opportunity management has been instrumental to the success of the group.

Jeffrey Seder - Founder of Equine Biomechanics & Exercise Physiology (EQB)

In this episode of the Road to Growth podcast, we are pleased to introduce you to Jeffrey Seder . Jeffrey is the founder of Equine Biomechanics & Exercise Physiology (EQB), which helps HNWI and entrepreneurs looking to get into the horse racing business pick and manage young, unraced thoroughbred horses who may then become champions.
Jeffrey has spent millions, including $7M+ of his own money, researching and refining the science of picking a champion racehorse for 4+ decades and grown EQB to be one of the USA's leading talent scout buyers for young unraced thoroughbred horses.
They helped one of their clients go from start-up to being the leading USA racing stable in 4 years with a profit! This was even before the client made $50M+ from a racehorse they selected that won several world championships and became the first Triple Crown winner in 37 years. Several other clients have also had world champions.
Jeffrey disrupted the horse racing industry by developing a quantitative approach to finding the best racehorses, much of which has now been widely copied. His approach pre-dates, and is similar to, the one depicted in the Brad Pitt movie Moneyball, in which Pitt analyzes baseball players using biometric measurements at rest and while running, as well as the type of equations and statistics to demonstrate their value and project their potential accomplishments. The data includes slow motion films, organ scans, DNA markers etc.
