Controlled Chaos

Catching up... Conversations that matter

Sometimes, the best conversations aren’t planned—they’re just about catching up with good people. This week on In the Know with Steph and Joe, STEPH IS BACK in the studio after a short hiatus, and we’re sitting down with a familiar friend: Robert Clarke from Above Par Construction. We’re taking a break from our usual business deep-dives to talk about life, growth, and the power of staying connected. Whether it’s been a week or a year, reconnecting with someone you respect always brings insight, laughs, and a reminder of why relationships matter in both life and business. Pull up a chair and join us—it’s the kind of catch-up you don’t want to miss

We’ll break down the behind-the-scenes systems, preparation, and mindset it takes to keep a crisis-driven business running like a well-oiled (and occasionally soaked) machine
