Operation Entrepreneur Freedom - Design a Business That Runs (and Grows) Without You
Operation Entrepreneur Freedom is the go-to show for service business owners who are tired of being trapped in day-to-day operations. Hosted by Chad Murray — a veteran entrepreneur who built, scaled, and exited his own 7-figure service company — this podcast pulls back the curtain on how to build a business that runs (and grows) without you.
Whether you want to scale to keep or build to sell, you’ll learn the systems, mindset shifts, and strategic moves that free you from the tools, trucks, and burnout. No fluff. No corporate speak. Just real, tactical conversations for tradesmen, contractors, and service pros ready to become true business owners.
🎯 Weekly episodes on:
- Removing yourself from daily operations
- Building a business that’s sellable (even if you never sell)
- Hiring and leading the right team
- Systemizing everything so the business works without you
- What it really takes to earn freedom in the trades
If you're ready to reclaim your time, multiply your income, and turn your business into an asset — you’re in the right place.
