There is a ton of advice on the internet about how to build, start, or grow home service companies, but very little of it is from people that have actually done it. I'm John Wilson, and I've spent the last decade building a home service company from $1 million of revenue to $53 million today. And this show is where we talk about exactly what we've done. We talk about scaling processes, hiring team, marketing, and everything in between.

And maybe this is just because I'm an ads guy or like I'm a marketing guy. But once you get that billboard up, it's hard to change.

We talk about building and scaling, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and everything that comes with running these businesses. We talk about hiring and managing people, sales and marketing, pricing, operations, opening up new locations, buying businesses, and ultimately how to make money in this thing.

When we're talking a billion, we're talking enterprise value. We're talking like $50 million of EBITDA.

Some episodes are conversations with owners. Some episodes are deep dives into things that we're actively doing. In this show, we share the numbers and we get specific. We frequently talk about the stuff that we're actively dealing with as real operators. Like my background is I was a plumber and then I bought a business and then I bought 14 more. If you own a home service business or you're interested in this industry and you're trying to build something great, then this is the show for you. We post two episodes a week, so drop a follow so you don't miss any of our content coming out.
