Phillip Hogan is the CEO of Signing Services of America (SSA), the author of Relentless Excellence: A Story of Family Business Building and Value-Driven Leadership, and a third-generation entrepreneur who grew SSA from five figures to seven. Under his leadership, SSA was recognized by Inc. as the 30th fastest-growing company in the Southeast.

Key Discussion Themes:
- Where relentless excellence comes from: grandparents from Montserrat and a father who kept raising the bar
- Turning mistakes into system fixes instead of reprimands
- Saying yes to clients, then building the system to deliver
- Building infrastructure before you scale from five figures to six and seven
- Going from nervous on camera to hosting Closing Market Weekly

Listener Takeaway:
When something breaks, fix the system that let it happen, and build the infrastructure for where you're going before you get there.
