EP 03 — Systems, Scaling, and Generational Wealth w/ Zach Rowley

In this episode of the Legacy Builders Podcast, I sit down with Zach Rowley — CEO of Pro Trade Bookkeeping, systems thinker, entrepreneur, and someone who’s obsessed with building efficient businesses the same way I am.

Before we dive into his story, I ask him the question I ask every guest:
“When you hear the words generational wealth, what does that mean to you?”

From there, we unpack:

• How Zach went from washing cars to building a profitable, scalable bookkeeping firm

• The mindset shifts that allowed him to stop trading time for money

• His obsession with systems, processes, and creating business models that don’t depend on the owner

• What most small business owners misunderstand about cash flow and operations

• How he’s building wealth for the long term — not just the next paycheck

• The systems every entrepreneur needs if they want freedom instead of burnout

This episode is all about how to build a legacy by building better businesses — businesses that grow, scale, and operate predictably without destroying your life in the process.

If you’re an entrepreneur, operator, or someone trying to escape the “work harder, not smarter” trap… this one’s loaded.
