The $100 Million Reality Check: Why Chase Johnson Now Values Peace Over Profit

In this raw and honest episode of No Suits Allowed: Real Talk with Real Executives, Connor sits down with Chase Johnson, CEO of Johnson Construction Company. Chase opens up about one of the most challenging seasons any entrepreneur can face – watching a decade of success nearly crumble in 2022-2023. From humble beginnings doing summer roofing jobs in high school to building a company that scaled 100-300% annually through the 2010s, Chase experienced the ultimate entrepreneurial high. But when industry shifts and operational challenges converged, he found himself losing $400,000 per month at his peak loss rate – forcing him to pour nearly everything he'd saved over the prior decade back into salvaging his company. Connor and Chase dive deep into the realities of business ownership that most people don't talk about: the sleepless nights, the personal financial risk, and the humbling process of rebuilding from the ground up. They explore the dangerous naivety in the roofing industry, why many contractors are "out of business and don't know it yet," and how Chase developed his new philosophy that you can make at $15-20 million what you thought you needed $100 million to achieve. If you're facing business challenges, considering major risks, or simply want to understand what it really takes to weather entrepreneurial storms, this episode provides both cautionary tales and practical wisdom from someone who's been through the fire and emerged stronger.
