Tile Freak Podcast

What if you could just pack everything up today and just stop working? Would you be satisfied? What is no work also meant very little money? In this episode we discuss that "work" is not always the enemy. We look at the difference between retiring and not having to work.

Why? Why post a video? Why record a podcast in the first place? In a world of so much content and people telling you what to do and what to say, Clint explains in his heart what he wants to accomplish with social media why it matters to you the viewer and listener.

We have literally dusted off the studio and returned for the anticipated start of Season 3. As we continue to transition out of the pandemic, Clint looks at how clients' spending differs now from the beginning of the pandemic. Later, how media and channels like HGTV impacted a generation and boosted the industry. Not to forget, advice you need when navigating many of the “how to” videos out there and separating the legit ones from the fake.

There is a secret word behind this episode. The one thing that all of us have the ability to possess - but - it is easier said than done. Without this ingredient you simply won't be able to talk about success. No more delays, let's hear what he's talking about!

This week Clint reveals one specific story when he made a terrible mistake on a job. If we can learn so much from mistakes, why are we so hesitant in admitting our flaws? Clint explains how not facing your mistakes will only guarantee that you're cheating yourself.
