Adam Beamish isn’t chasing every lead — he’s intentionally turning down over 50% of inbound prospects. Why? Because saying no is how he scaled his family business, Mark Beamish Waterproofing, to $30M+ in revenue while preserving quality, culture, and profitability.

In this episode, Adam breaks down:

  • How he transformed a garage-based business into a 150+ person powerhouse
  • The strategy behind shrinking from 2,000 jobs/year to just 700 — and making more money
  • Why most subcontractors are overwhelmed by bad fits (and how to stop)
  • The origin of SubSmart, his fast-growing SaaS built to streamline subcontractor chaos
  • What it really means to lead with integrity in construction and software

If you’re a founder, operator, or builder of any kind — this conversation will challenge how you think about scale, culture, and saying no.
