In this episode of In The Treehouse, host Michael Conner welcomes Jason Bair, owner of Blue Sky Systems, for a deep dive into his entrepreneurial journey.
Jason shares how his early days building treehouses and riding BMX bikes evolved into a career in electrical work, IT, and ultimately, launching his own low-voltage contracting company.
They discuss the challenges of scaling a business, the importance of staying ahead in technology, and the mindset required to succeed as an entrepreneur.
- Entrepreneurial Beginnings & The Value of Adaptability
Jason’s early exposure to electrical work through his father gave him a foundational skill set that he later expanded into IT and low-voltage systems.
His ability to adapt and learn new trades allowed him to evolve his career, proving that flexibility is key to long-term business success.
- Transitioning from Job Security to Business Ownership
Despite initially enjoying a steady paycheck, Jason realized that if he was going to answer for a business, he wanted it to be his own.
This moment of clarity led him to launch Blue Sky Systems, reinforcing the importance of recognizing when it’s time to take control of your own future.
- Growth Brings Both Challenges and Opportunities
Scaling a business is not just about increasing revenue but also about managing cash flow, hiring the right team, and maintaining quality service.
Jason explains how strategic hiring and staying ahead of industry trends helped his company remain competitive while expanding.
- Staying Ahead with Technology & Innovation
Jason is passionate about being on the cutting edge of security technology.
By working closely with manufacturers and staying informed about new developments, Blue Sky Systems offers clients solutions that evolve with their needs rather than becoming outdated.
- The Power of Vision & Passion in Business
A recurring theme in Jason’s journey is the importance of passion. He emphasizes that if you view your work as just a job, it’s time to reconsider your path.
Having a clear vision and genuine interest in what you do makes all the difference in achieving sustainable success.
Jason’s journey from a hands-on electrician to a thriving business owner is a testament to the power of adaptability, vision, and perseverance. His story reminds us that success isn’t just about making money—it’s about staying passionate, solving real problems, and continuously evolving.
