One Success Away from Realizing It’s Not What You Thought

Sometimes success doesn’t feel the way you expect it to. For Grant Bowen, it took stepping away from a Bay Area family office and starting Peak Projects to realize that growth, reputation, and opportunity aren’t built overnight – they’re earned one relationship, one project, and one honest lesson at a time. From slow, referral-driven beginnings to managing sprawling, high-stakes builds across the U.S., Grant shares how excellence compounds, why delegation unlocked true scale, and why the team you build is the real moat. In this episode of The One Away Show, Grant opens up about near-misses, culture shocks, and the human touch that still matters in a world leaning toward automation. His story is a reminder that even at the highest levels, success comes down to people, trust, and the ability to adapt. If this conversation resonates, this episode is for you.
