  • The day-to-day life of running a plumbing business with your spouse
  • How Levi thought out the High 5 brand and the benefits of having a brand that isn’t tied to your name

  • The importance of cultivating a culture and team that grows with your business and in their own lives.
  • How High 5 created diverse apparel options for the team to show off their personal styles and how that turned into community demand merchandise. 

“By creating a positive culture, you have to show that you want them to be successful, other than in your doors.”
