I love young entrepreneurs. They inspire me. I started my business when I was young. But I made a ton of mistakes along the way. It took my a long time to become a success. That’s why I’m so impressed when I meet a young person who is already a success. That’s why I wanted to invite Michael Morozov onto the show this week. Michael founded his company when he was still in University. By his second year he was making over six figures. Now his business Aurum Property Care is one of the largest window cleaning companies in North America.

In this episode Michael and I talk about how he managed that explosive growth. He reveals why he had to design his own software system to manage all the moving parts of his buisness. That investment cost nearly $500 thousand. Eventually his company outgrew that system. So he decided to move to Salesforce instead. That decision wasn’t easy. And it wasn’t cheap. So was switching to Salesforce worth the expense? Find out more!

When John Mollenhauer speaks, I listen. And so should you. John has been working in the Toronto construction industry for decades. Since becoming CEO of the Toronto Construction Association 13 years ago he has become something of an oracle. I invited him back on the show this week to hear his thoughts on the state of the economy. I boldly predicted earlier this year that we were headed for a recession. That hasn’t happened yet and John tells me why. We also talk about:

The state of the Canadian and US construction industries
Why gold is topping $1400 an ounce
Whether Trump and Trudeau will get re-elected
Why construction companies are so terrified of new technology

A tidal wave is coming. I’m sure of it. I’ve been in business long enough to have lived through at least three big recessions. The next one is coming fast. But you don’t have to take my word for it. Just look at the facts. We are in the midst of one of the longest periods of economic growth in history. The housing market hit record highs during that time and the Dow Jones climbed to a record 26 thousand points last year. But change is coming. You can already see it affecting housing prices which have begin to decline and in the huge debts being racked up by governments and individuals alike.

This week on the show I’m joined by my old friend John Mollenhauer. John is the President of the Toronto Construction Association and knows the industry better than anyone I know. Together we debate the likelihood of another recession. And most importantly we talk about how the construction industry will deal with another downturn. Many young business owners weren’t around for the last downturn in 2008. What’s the best way to prepare? Listen to today’s episode for details about how to survive the next next recession.
