What happens when the business you bought starts running your life? Logan Bryson, owner of LINE-X of Colorado Springs, joins the Colorado Business Podcast to share how he went from installing truck accessories to owning the operation, working 68-hour weeks, and learning to lead beyond the day-to-day work. Logan explains how his father's truck sparked an interest that eventually led him to LINE-X, how his mother helped him acquire the business in 2020, and why the transition from skilled employee to owner was harder than he expected. He also breaks down the systems, scorecards, hiring decisions, community relationships, and outside guidance that helped him step out of the weeds. The conversation covers burnout, cash flow, hiring for drive, the franchise model, practical uses of AI, family responsibility, and Logan's definition of success. It closes with the story of Charlie, the 2008 F-150 that connects his father, his business, and the legacy he hopes to pass to his children.
