Why Going Into Business With Family and Friends Isn’t Always a Mistake | Sam Chapman

#entrepreneurialleadership #founderleadership #businessleadership If you’re building a company with partners, leading a growing team, and thinking long term, this episode is going to resonate. Today I’m sitting down with Sam Chapman, founder and partner at Caseco Homes and Merit Restorations, based in Northern Virginia. Sam lives in Loudoun County outside of D.C., is a husband and father of five (with number six on the way), and has spent the last decade building scalable businesses rooted in intentional leadership and culture. Sam grew up around entrepreneurship. His father built a construction company. After college at the University of Tennessee, Sam worked in commercial real estate before partnering with his brother Casey and longtime friend Aaron McClary to build Caseco. What started with house flips turned into a general contracting company. Later, they diversified intentionally and launched Merit Restorations, which now operates in Northern Virginia, Central Virginia, Virginia Beach, and Dallas. This conversation is not about tactics. It’s about entrepreneurial leadership. We unpack: Building businesses with your brother and best friend The power of radical transparency in partnerships Why diversification matters for long term stability How culture can quietly erode if you avoid hard decisions The cost of loyalty without accountability When founders must step in and be the hero Why you can’t “cheat the front end” of business growth The importance of being selective with your commitments Sam shares candidly about culture breakdowns, leadership blind spots, and the discipline required to build something that lasts. If you’re a founder thinking beyond revenue and focused on building something durable, this one is for you.
