30 | George Muha | How to Balance Dreams with Growth

In today's episode of the Fingerprints on Success podcast, Bill is joined by George Muha, founder of Big State Sports.

During the conversation, George reflects on the difficulties of maintaining the core essence of a business while expanding its reach. As responsibilities grow and new systems are put in place, there’s a delicate balance between preserving quality and learning to delegate.  

You'll hear about George's struggle to let go — of once-personal tasks, of direct relationships, and of certain control. Yet, in doing so, he discovered that trust in a team and clearly defined roles can lead to even greater success. There’s an emphasis on the surprising realization that sometimes, the best move forward is a return to one’s roots—focusing on the passion and unique abilities that built the foundation in the first place.  

This episode covers strategy and vision, however what stands out most is unwavering enthusiasm — the kind that turns hard work into something that doesn’t feel like work at all.
