## Resource

If you don’t want to micromanage, the simple answer is this: don’t. Because if you’re going to do it anyway, you might as well have done it yourself. In this conversation with Laurence Sisco of IronStrong Metal Fabrication , we talk about what it really means to build teams—and to build businesses that are strong. Not perfect, but strong. The kind of strength that comes from working through failure, not avoiding it, and using those moments to build people up. As our businesses grow—and as we age in business—it’s easy to forget this. But building up the people on our teams, and the teams we work alongside, is paramount to long-term success. It’s hard work. But it’s worth it. And while we never want to forget that this is a business, we also can’t forget that a business is made up of people—people with lives, families, friends, and responsibilities outside of work. The environments we create as owners, founders, leaders, and operators matter. They matter for the next generation and for those learning and growing in an industry that desperately needs healthy, strong leadership environments. -------------------------- WHERE TO WATCH: Spotify ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/07rT0hFAsPAZYCUF4OMBB7⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ Apple ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-line/id1722664848⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -------------------------- FOLLOW JOSH: X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/Joshuadmellott⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/Joshuadmellott⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-d-mellott-0b0525118/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@UCC11qG6HXWP7TmVMr_Sv7Vg⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -------------------------- FOLLOW BLACKLINE: @blacklineltd Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/bla…
