Sink or swim.
Chad's the kind of person who buys a boat without actually knowing anything about boating… then gets busy learning. He takes the same approach to his clients' businesses: with curiosity, concentration, and a fair amount of tinkering, he'll figure out just what he needs to know in order to help them succeed.
A former high school quarterback with a surprisingly robust shoe collection, Chad's best piece of advice is to be honest with yourself when making the tough decisions. Be honest with us, Chad — just how many shoes is it?
