These Books Helped us Create a 9-Figure Umbrella of Companies

What if reading just a few key books could radically transform your business—and your life? In this solo episode, Jared Flinn shares the top three books that helped shape the explosive growth of BulkLoads and its affiliated companies. From developing a 10X mindset to creating a culture that WOWs customers and builds unshakable trust, these books became foundational tools for building a 9-figure organization. Jared unpacks how 10x Is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy challenged him to rethink scale, how Delivering Happiness by Zappos founder Tony Hsieh influenced the team’s customer-first culture, and how The Speed of Trust by Stephen M.R. Covey reframed the way they approach relationships—internally and externally.

This isn’t just a reading list—it’s a playbook. Whether you're an owner-operator, small fleet owner, or building a business outside of trucking, the principles in these books can guide your next big leap. Jared also shares personal implementation tips—like using a virtual assistant to eliminate time drains and focusing on high-value tasks that move the needle. If you're ready to level up your operation, this episode delivers the inspiration and direction you’ve been looking for.
