In this episode, he goes toe-to-toe with Dan Grech, founder of BizHack and creator of Story-Driven Growth, on whether storytelling is actually useful for the lunch-pail entrepreneur just trying to build a business and feed his family. What comes out of that friction is a raw, real conversation about dark energy vs. light energy, the difference between technicians and entrepreneurs, how a plumber can charge more without changing a single price, and why Jerry's story \u2014 homeless at 17, a $25-a-week flophouse, no high school diploma \u2014 is actually the blueprint for what's possible. Practical, honest, and not what either of them expected. This episode is part of&amp;nbsp;The Kronos Group Podcast, where experienced operators and founders share real-world lessons on building, scaling, and protecting their businesses. If you run a business that is doing $1M or more a year, then you can\u2019t afford not to join a Kronos Peer Cohort.
