Throwing it back to one of our favorite conversations on The Founder Ride 🎙️
In this clip, Kristin DeJohn, co-founder of The Blowout Bar in Columbus, talks about the shift from doing everything yourself to building a team you can trust and actually stepping back.
She shares the real side of:
• Hiring people who are smarter than you
• Letting go of control and trusting leadership
• Competing with TikTok tutorials in the beauty world
• Balancing growth, motherhood, and identity beyond the business

Too many founders chase revenue and call it growth.
Real growth comes from understanding profit.
On this episode of The Founder Ride, Randy Ge**er breaks down the difference between top-line excitement and bottom-line sustainability, and how knowing both changes the way you lead, invest, and scale.
If you want to build a business that lasts, this conversation is for you.
Want to go deeper on building intentionally? Our 11/17 Masterclass is built for founders who want clarity, confidence, and community.

Columbus has a thriving small business scene and a growing startup community.
Most founders live in the gap between figuring it out alone and having a board of advisors.
They make expensive mistakes.
They wish they had someone who actually gets it.
Research shows that businesses participating in peer advisory groups report an average 4.6% annual growth while comparable businesses decline.
That’s the power of community.
That’s why Founder Farm exists.
Columbus based. In person. Real relationships.
Accepting new members now.

Michael Erath didn’t just talk about business growth. He talked about what happens when everything falls apart and you have to start over.
He built a family business from eight million to forty-five million in revenue. Then the recession hit, and his partner’s betrayal took everything down with it. Most people would have stopped there. Michael didn’t.
He started again from zero, built a new company, and learned what actually makes growth sustainable. Today, through Next Level Growth, he helps leaders build organizations that last—without fitting them into a one-size-fits-all system.
At Founder Farm, we bring in speakers like Michael because entrepreneurship isn’t about easy wins or perfect systems. It’s about resilience, clarity, and learning from people who have lived it.
