In this powerful and deeply personal episode, host Steve Arendt sits down with longtime friend and fellow entrepreneur Ramsey Duqum, CEO of AABLE Rents and founder of Forcey software. This marks the first guest episode since the podcast's rebrand from "Teeco Steve" to "Better Lives Better Business."

This isn't just another business success story—it's a raw, honest look at what it takes to build companies that serve both profit and purpose. Ramsey opens up about the winding road of leadership, the importance of truth in all aspects of life, and why technology should ultimately give us more time for what matters most.

Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur, a family business owner, or someone struggling to balance business growth with personal fulfillment, this conversation offers both practical wisdom and profound inspiration.

"There's no space in memory for regret when it's filled with a lesson learned." - Ramsey Duqum

This episode exemplifies the podcast's core philosophy: that better business and better life are not competing priorities but complementary forces that strengthen each other when properly balanced.

Episode #1: The Entrepreneurial Journey - Finding Balance Beyond the Ceiling

In this inaugural episode, Teeco Steve Arendt shares his 30-year entrepreneurial journey and the pivotal moment when business success didn't equal personal fulfillment. Steve reveals the challenging "ceiling" many business owners hit, explores the three paths he considered (quitting, maintaining, or scaling), and introduces the fourth path he discovered—the inner work of leadership transformation. Learn how shifting from a "push" to a "pull" leadership style helped Steve create both a profitable business and meaningful life. This episode lays the foundation for a community of entrepreneurs seeking to balance success with fulfillment while making positive change in their families, communities, and beyond.
