What happens when a lawyer trades courtroom briefs for t-shirts and builds a multi-million dollar business?
In this powerful episode of the Digital Remodeler Podcast, Carl Willis sits down with Barton Henderson, Esq.—a JD/MBA who left the traditional legal path in pursuit of freedom over finances. Bart shares his compelling journey from launching a t-shirt business in law school to becoming an Inc. 5000 business owner, investor, and founder of the men’s performance network, Agora Guild.
In this episode, you'll learn:
✅ How to escape the trap of “headache businesses”
✅ The systems-first mindset that keeps teams small and profits strong
✅ Why partnerships—not payroll—are the secret weapon for scaling
✅ How to build a high-performing culture based on extreme honesty
✅ What legacy-minded business owners should think about NOW
✅ Why giving away equity (yes, really) might be your smartest growth move
✅ The truth about balancing ambition, AI, and authentic leadership
Whether you're a remodeler, contractor, or entrepreneur looking to grow a business that doesn't own you, this episode is your blueprint for freedom and fulfillment.
