How to Build a Family Business That Lasts: Lessons with Matt Lewis (Part 2)
In this episode, my guest is Matt Lewis from Lewis Automotive, and we’re picking up where we left off. This is Part Two of our conversation, where we dive deeper into how Matt’s leadership philosophy drives real results, but we also open up about the hurdles, the growing pains, and the mindset shifts that come with scaling a family business.
Matt doesn’t sugarcoat it—he talks about what worked, what didn’t, and why letting go of control might just be the next level for your business.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why focusing on your employees first is the key to a great customer experience.
- The leadership mistakes that hold businesses back from scaling.
- How to create a work environment people don’t want to leave—even when they get a job offer down the road.
- The mindset shift leaders need to move from “doing” to truly empowering.
- Why managing your emotions is one of the most underrated leadership skills.
- And what endurance sports can teach us about mental toughness, problem-solving, and leading when things don’t go as planned.
We also get personal about faith, purpose, and the real reason Matt does what he does. It’s one of those conversations that hits both the head and the heart.
This is part two of our chat, if you missed part one, make sure you go back and catch it.
