Raise Your Standards - The Founderz Lounge

“Once you teach somebody that cutting corners is acceptable in one place, you’re lowering the standard of what you’ll allow everywhere.” ~ Scott Volquartsen

The Founderz Lounge Episode #72 with Scott Volquartsen.

In this episode, Scott Volquartsen joins Don Varady and Steve Bon to unpack what it really takes to scale a legacy business without compromising quality, culture, or craftsmanship.

Scott shares the story of growing up in a family-owned company, taking over the business with his brother, and navigating the challenges of expansion in one of the world's most highly regulated industries. The conversation dives into leadership mistakes, accountability, innovation, and why performance always has to come before efficiency.

This is a grounded, practical conversation about building a brand that refuses to cut corners, fostering real ownership within a team, and growing without losing the standards that made you successful in the first place.
