Built Not Bought Playbook
A free tactical playbook for founders, operators, and family-run manufacturers.
Most manufacturing businesses are told to “scale or die.”
But what if growth didn’t mean more chaos, more automation, or more outside pressure?What if the smart move wasn’t raising capital — but doubling down on what actually works?

Now, their story is a playbook for anyone trying to scale on their terms — without selling out.

- How to find overlooked problems and turn them into markets
- The power of naming your own category — and how to do it

Who It’s for:
