In today's episode of Fingerprints on Success, Bill Barrett sits down with Todd Sawyer, a remarkable serial entrepreneur with a story that embodies the true spirit of transformation and growth.
Todd's journey began unexpectedly. Despite having a finance degree and ambitions of a corporate career in New York City, he found himself drawn to the family business, starting at the grassroots level, installing insulation and learning the ropes from the ground up.

What followed was a series of remarkable turnarounds. From selling the initial business to navigating the car dealership industry, each venture brought unique challenges and learning curves. Todd's secret sauce? Understanding finance like a second language and assembling stellar teams that complement his skills.
Throughout his journey, Todd emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people, staying true to your word, and understanding that effort directly correlates with results.
In this episode, you'll discover the principles that guided Todd through his successes, the lessons he learned from setbacks, and his insights into the ever-changing business landscape, especially in these uncertain times.
