Most owners are trying to sit in two seats at once. One is driving the truck. The other is looking at where the truck is going. Both seats are always occupied, and almost nobody notices which one they have quietly stopped sitting in.

Bobby spent forty years in homebuilding, including running a region at John Wieland Homes. This episode names the two seats, shows you how to tell which one you are in, and gives you three things to do this week.

The present shouts. The future whispers. And guess which one gets your Tuesday.

This is part one of a pair. Part two is Everyone Knows Their Job and the Company Is Going Nowhere.
