    Chad is a multifaceted wizard who works with integrity and  professionalism. I can easily say he is one of the coolest and most interesting humans I’ve had the honor of working with. What used to be a chore for me is now fun because working with him is an absolute joy. Chad has a unique ability to view all from a bird’s-eye perspective. He draws from deep wisdom and life experience well beyond his years while focusing on goals, best practices, revolutionary ideas and extraordinary results. I always feel heard and understood while Chad’s insights when I do have concerns are thoughtful, patient and offer unparalleled clarity. This collaboration with Chad is a breath of fresh air, the deepest of exhales. After more than a handful of professionals over many years, some that came with very high accolades, working with Chad feels like finally coming home. He is clear, concise, meets you where you are and goes above and beyond. His love for growing businesses is palpable. This is not work for him, it’s a passion. I highly recommend Chad McMillan.
