Brandon Comstock's Entrepreneurial Success Story

Brandon Comstock's Entrepreneurial Success Story

In this Inner Circle episode, Hector welcomes Brandon, a Calgary-based entrepreneur who built a landscape maintenance company with his partner Michelle, grew it to about 60 employees, and sold it around a year and a half ago, now living off the proceeds while building a niche software product, Site DNA. Brandon shares how their partnership worked by leveraging complementary strengths, why peer groups and mentorship mattered, and when the company shifted from survival to a real business as employee responsibility grew.

He explains the power of specializing in condo maintenance and snow removal to simplify operations, training, and equipment, and discusses transitioning from field work to leadership by trusting strong hires and building repeatable processes. Brandon highlights structured planning (annuals/quarterlies), developing crews into financially literate managers, exit preparation, and the importance of vision, execution, recruiting, and pricing.
