How Speed to Lead Unlocks More Revenue From Every Lead SourceMost contractors think they need more leads. According to Tyson Chen, co-founder of Avoca, most home service companies actually need a better system for capturing, contacting, and converting the leads they already have.In this episode, John Wilson sits down with Tyson Chen to break down the speed-to-lead systems that are helping home service companies double revenue, improve booking rates, and make channels like Angi, Yelp, Meta, Thumbtack, and Google LSA profitable. They discuss the exact follow-up cadence used by top-performing contractors, why most businesses leave revenue on the table, and how AI, outbound calling, and automation are changing lead conversion in the trades.They also explore how private equity-backed platforms are using speed-to-lead to create entirely new revenue streams, why response time directly impacts lead quality and platform rankings, and what contractors need to do to maximize ROI from every marketing channel.What You'll Learn:→ Why most home service companies don't actually have a lead problem → The speed-to-lead process that helps contractors convert more opportunities → Why calling leads beats relying on text messages alone → The ideal follow-up cadence for lead aggregators and paid leads → How AI and automation improve response times and booking rates → Why channels like Angi, Yelp, Meta, and Google LSA work when lead handling is done correctly————————————————

In this episode of Knowing Hymn, Steve and Angi explore one of the most beloved additions to Hymns—For Home and Church: “Faith in Every Footstep” by K. Newell Dayley.Often associated with the 1997 Pioneer Sesquicentennial celebration, this hymn is much more than a pioneer anthem. Steve and Angi discuss the hymn's origins, its connections to Doctrine and Covenants 4, and the powerful message that discipleship requires faith, commitment, and trust in Jesus Christ—one step at a time.Through scripture, personal stories, and reflections on pioneer heritage, they explore what it means to embark in the service of God, travel the covenant path, and exercise faith even when the road ahead is unclear.This episode also includes a special surprise as Steve sings a verse of the hymn in Czech before they perform the hymn together.The story behind “Faith in Every Footstep”K.

Faith Driven Investor Podcast – Episode 224 Release Date: June 8, 2026 Venture Studio, AI Disruption & the Mandate to Build Beautiful Things John Coleman sits down with Kristian Andersen — co-founder and partner at High Alpha, the Indianapolis-based venture studio and fund — live at the Main Street Summit in Columbia, Missouri. Kristian traces his unlikely path from freelance designer to venture capital pioneer, unpacking how High Alpha's hybrid studio-fund model is navigating the most disruptive era in software history, and why he believes faith calls investors and builders alike to an adventure mandate and a creation mandate. Key Topics: How High Alpha's venture studio model differs from traditional VC — and what 10+ years of iteration taught them about company creation Why seat-based SaaS licensing is dying and what outcome-based, utility, and agentic business models are replacing it The AI disruption hiding in plain sight: companies going from zero to $50M revenue in a single year — and what that means for early-stage investors The enterprise SaaS recession of 2021–2024, the "buying barbell," and why legacy SaaS and AI-native companies are on completely different trajectories Why the biggest untold story in the entrepreneurial journey is what it costs the founder's family — and how High Alpha is addressing it ServiceNow's entry as a Fund 4 LP and what strategic corporate venture capital actually looks like when done right The theology of taste: why Kristian believes truth is beauty, and how the adventure and creation mandates of Scripture shape his work as an investor and builder Notable Quotes: "Operating companies makes us better investors. And conversely, investing makes us better operators because the half-life of experience in this industry is a lot shorter than people think it is." — Kristian Andersen "The currency we trade in are founders and markets. And we want to engineer some radical advantage into those businesses." — Kristian Andersen "I think we serve a God that calls us to adventure. Every good thing that's happened to me in my life has been a function of me saying yes, not saying no." — Kristian Andersen About Kristian Andersen: Kristian Andersen is the co-founder and partner at High Alpha, an Indianapolis-based venture studio that both incubates net-new software companies and invests in high-growth founders. Before High Alpha, he founded StudioScience, a design and innovation consultancy he ran for 15 years before selling to private equity. An active angel investor, Kristian has co-founded multiple software companies and invested in over 40 startups. He is married to Brandy, has six children, and is part of the Praxis community. High Alpha's Fund 4 counts ServiceNow as a strategic LP. About High Alpha: High Alpha is a venture studio and fund based in Indianapolis that combines company creation with venture investing. The firm partners with founders and corporations to ideate and launch enterprise SaaS businesses, then supports them with capital, operations, and shared resources. High Alpha's portfolio companies have included Angi (formerly Angie's List), ExactTarget, and others from the Indianapolis tech ecosystem.

In dieser Folge von „Leicht gesagt“ geht es um alltägliche Situationen, die viele kennen: Wie kommuniziere ich auf den Punkt, ohne mein Gegenüber zu langweilen? Wochenenden, die plötzlich schon geplant sind, ohne dass man selbst gefragt wurde. Und die Frage, ob Schlagfertigkeit eigentlich angeboren ist oder ob man sie lernen kann. Nicole und Angi sprechen darüber, warum es oft wirkungsvoller ist, sich kurz zu fassen, statt sich zu erklären, zu rechtfertigen oder in langen Schleifen zu landen. Außerdem geht es um Alleinplanungen in Partnerschaften: Wie sagt man klar, dass man einbezogen werden möchte, ohne direkt ein Grundsatzgespräch daraus zu machen? Und schließlich geht es um Schlagfertigkeit und die Frage, ob diese auch angeboren sein kann? Denn Schlagfertigkeit ist nicht nur ein schneller Spruch im richtigen Moment, sondern vor allem eine Haltung zu sich selbst, zum Leben und zur eigenen Stimme. Eine Folge über klare Kommunikation, kleine Beziehungsmomente und die Kunst, im richtigen Moment genau genug zu sagen.

After a 2½-year break, Steve and Angi are back for a brand-new season of Knowing Hymn! In this episode, they explore one of the newest hymns from Hymns—For Home and Church: “The Power of the Holy Ghost” by Delys Waite Snyder.Together, they discuss the doctrine and inspiration behind the hymn, the role of the Holy Ghost in our daily lives, and the powerful scriptural themes woven throughout the text. Along the way, they reflect on personal experiences with guidance, comfort, testimony, repentance, and learning to “speak with the tongue of angels.”This episode also includes a full performance of the hymn.Returning to Knowing Hymn after 2½ yearsThoughts on the new Hymns—For Home and Church collectionFavorite newly released hymnsThe story behind “The Power of the Holy Ghost”The influence of the Holy Ghost in times of trialSpeaking with “the tongue of angels”The Holy Ghost as Comforter, teacher, and guideSinging the hymn togetherHymn 1055 – “The Power of the Holy Ghost”Words and music by Delys Waite Snyder2 Nephi 32:2–3Mosiah 4:3Mosiah 5:2John 14:16–17John 14:26–27President Wilford Woodruff on the gift of the Holy GhostPresident Henry B.

Beim geplanten SpaceX-Börsengang an der Nasdaq werden langjährige Indexregeln gelockert: Der Mindest-Free-Float entfällt, die Wartezeit bis zur Index-Aufnahme verkürzt sich deutlich, und auch die Profitabilitätspflicht für die Aufnahme in den S&P 500 steht zur Disposition. Bei einer angestrebten Bewertung von 1,75 bis 2 Billionen US-Dollar diskutieren Tobias Kramer und Stefan Waldhauser, was diese Änderungen für Nasdaq 100- und S&P 500-ETFs – und damit für ganz normale Depots – bedeuten, und ob sich die Bewertung von SpaceX über Umsatz, Cashflow und realistische Margen überhaupt rechtfertigen lässt. Dazu zwei Updates zu Ideen aus dem Januar: Bei der Handwerker-Plattform Angi führt der angekündigte komplette Neubau des Plattformmodells samt ausgesetzter Guidance zu einer klaren Entscheidung – Stefan Waldhauser verkauft mit deutlichem Verlust, während Tobias Kramer investiert bleibt. Bei der Beteiligungsholding IAC, die sich gerade in People Inc. umbenennt, geht es um Aktienrückkäufe, den MGM-Anteil und die Frage, wann sich ein jahrelanger Bewertungsabschlag endlich auflöst. Die Leitfrage der Folge: Wo trägt die Marktstimmung – und wo das Management?

Disaster Jacks se despide de los escenarios con 'Sisters', un gran EP grabado en Ultramarinos Costa Brava con Santi Garcia. Con motivo de su disolución amistosa y también de su nuevo lanzamiento, nos citamos en la emisora con las amigas Marle, Angi y Dave para repasar una trayectoria de puro punk rock que arranca en 2005. Durante la entrevista pinchamos el regreso de Good Riddance con 'Before the world caves in', recuperamos un temazo acústico de Dover, recomendamos 'Figurine' de Gouge Away y nos despedimos con 'Wired' de Basement. Enjoy!

In dieser Folge von Leicht gesagt sprechen Nicole und Angi über Schlagfertigkeit als echtes Business-Ritual: klar, präsent und trotzdem menschlich. Es geht darum, wie ehrliche Worte wirken können, ohne zu verletzen, und warum Tacheles manchmal genau dann besonders kraftvoll ist, wenn es liebevoll gemeint ist. Außerdem greifen die beiden Feedback zu vergangenen Folgen auf und schauen darauf, was passiert, wenn Gespräche Reibung erzeugen. Denn manchmal entsteht genau daraus Wärme, Nähe und ein neues Verständnis füreinander. Mehr zur Autorin & Kommunikationstrainerin: www.nicolestaudinger.de oder www.akademe-staudinger.de

Business ist selten nur Business – besonders dann, wenn Familie, enge Beziehungen oder persönliche Verbindungen eine Rolle spielen. In dieser Folge sprechen Nicole und Angi über Situationen, in denen Family Affairs im Business spürbar werden: über Erwartungen, verletzte Gefühle, gekränkte Eitelkeit und Reaktionen, die nicht immer fair oder nachvollziehbar sind.Dabei geht es nicht darum, Menschen zu verurteilen. Gekränkt sein, enttäuscht reagieren oder kurz emotional werden, darf passieren. Schreibt uns Eure Fälle und Euer Feedback an hallo@nicolestaudinger.de

Diesmal wird wirklich nicht lange um den heißen Brei geredet: Angi und Nicole sprechen offen, deutlich und mit der nötigen Portion Ehrlichkeit über Themen, die auch mal anecken dürfen. Zwischen klaren Ansagen, starken Meinungen und einem Augenzwinkern gilt diesmal mehr denn je: lieber immer ehrlich als glattgebügelt. Achtung: Diese Folge kann Spuren von Empörung enthalten.

In dieser Folge von Leicht gesagt sprechen Nicole und Angi vor allem über Nicoles neues Buch „Time for Tacheles“ – und darüber, warum genau jetzt der Moment ist, unsere Stimme wieder bewusster zu nutzen. Denn während wir noch versuchen, es allen recht zu machen, wird der Ton da draußen längst rauer. Die Frage ist also nicht mehr, ob wir klar sprechen – sondern wie. Nicole zeigt, warum wir uns keinen verbalen Hebel mehr leisten können liegen zu lassen und wie es gelingt, deutlich zu sein, ohne respektlos zu werden. Es geht um Haltung, Mut und darum, sich selbst nicht zu verlieren – auch dann nicht, wenn Gespräche unbequem werden. Wie viel Ehrlichkeit braucht es wirklich? Wann ist der richtige Moment für Tacheles – und wann vielleicht nicht? Und wie schaffen wir es, in all dem Lärm gehört zu werden, ohne mitzuschreien?

In this compelling episode, Angi Bruce—Wyoming Game and Fish Department's Director and seasoned conservation biologist—shares the blueprint for a groundbreaking Mule Deer Conservation Strategy. She reveals how decades of efforts have plateaued, despite hundreds of millions already spent on habitat improvement, wildlife crossings, and research. The question is: what's next when traditional methods hit their limit? Angi introduces a bold playbook that includes securing over $250 million in combined funding annually—targeted investments in habitat, invasive species control, and coordinated land use plans—to truly scale conservation.

What happens when someone tells you your idea will never work, and you build it anyway? What does it look like to create a space where trying matters more than finishing first?   Angi Klick didn't just start a triathlon event. She built a movement. After years of trying to convince other race directors that women needed their own welcoming space in the sport, she decided to do it herself. In 2016, while nine months pregnant, she directed the first She Tris Triathlon in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. A local timer told her it would never work. The event sold out before race day.   Now, 10 years later, She Tris has become a haven for first-timers, a celebration for returners, and proof that when you lead with community over competition, something powerful happens. Angi talks about surviving those early moments, managing rheumatoid arthritis while training for an Ironman, and why she never calls her events "races." She shares what it means to champion confidence in women who aren't sure they belong yet, and why the finish line is really just the starting line for what comes next.   This conversation is for anyone who's ever been told no and decided to build it anyway. It's for the beginner who thinks they need permission to start. And it's a reminder that belonging doesn't come before you try. It comes because you start.   Join the Tri Beginner's Luck Community: Enjoyed this episode? The best way to support the show is to leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!

In Season 5, Episode 11 of The Pest Control Marketing Domination Podcast, we bring the conversation full circle. After discussing the importance of building a strong website and then covering the basic organic best practices that help pest control companies get found online, we now move into the final step: advertising.In this episode, Casey Lewis breaks down how pest control companies can use paid advertising to attract new customers and create a complete marketing system. The discussion covers high-intent online channels like Google Ads, Bing, Yelp, Angi, Thumbtack, and Nextdoor, along with social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and YouTube. Casey also explains how traditional outbound methods like direct mail, yard signs, door hangers, billboards, and radio still fit into a smart media mix.The episode also digs into the concept of Google Ads bidding, how the auction works, what pest control owners need to understand about Performance Max campaigns, when YouTube ads may make sense, and how to set realistic expectations when starting with a new advertising budget. Casey uses simple math to explain clicks, leads, close rates, customer value, and ROI so owners can better understand what profitable advertising really looks like.At the highest level, this episode is about making sure your company is present in the right places when prospective customers are ready to buy. Years ago, the Yellow Pages called this directional advertising. Today, that same concept still applies — just across many more platforms. The goal is not to be everywhere blindly. The goal is to build the right mix, track what works, and make smart decisions that lead to profitable growth.For pest control owners who want to grow, this episode offers a practical framework for thinking through budget, channel selection, conversion rates, and the role advertising plays in a complete marketing strategy.Connect with Casey Lewis and Rhino Pest Control Marketing:Email: casey@rhinopros.comWebsite: https://rhinopestcontrolmarketing.com/SMART Pest Control Websites: https://rhinopestcontrolmarketing.com/smart-pest-control/

Warum fühlen wir uns sofort gemeint oder angegriffen? Warum rechtfertigen wir uns, obwohl niemand danach gefragt hat? Und warum denken wir eigentlich ständig, alle anderen analysieren uns genauso intensiv wie wir selbst? (Spoiler: Tun sie nicht.) Es geht um kommunikative Herausforderungen zwischen Fremdscham und Overthinking, um das berühmte „Manchmal bist du einfach nicht der Mittelpunkt der Situation“ – und darum, das Umfeld mitzudenken, bevor man innerlich schon die Verteidigungsrede vorbereitet. Eine Folge für alle, die öfter mal entspannter reagieren wollen, weniger verkopft kommunizieren – und sich selbst ab und zu mit einem Augenzwinkern betrachten können. Leicht gesagt? Vielleicht. Aber genau darum geht's.

In dieser Folge von „Leicht gesagt“ sprechen Nicole und Angi über kommunikative Stolperfallen, die wir alle kennen (und manchmal selbst auslegen): Freundinnen, die „nur ehrlich“ sein wollen, dabei aber jedes Feingefühl im Handtaschenboden vergessen. Kolleginnen, die während der Arbeitszeit fleißig private To-dos im Internet erledigen – und alle anderen wundern sich, warum sie mehr Arbeit haben. Und Menschen (ja, wir schauen auch ein bisschen auf uns selbst), die sich für extrem schlagfertig halten, nur weil sie schnell reagieren – nicht unbedingt nett. Nicole und Angi nehmen diese Alltagsmomente mit Humor, Klartext und einer ordentlichen Portion Selbstironie auseinander. Es geht um die feinen Unterschiede zwischen Ehrlichkeit und Uncharmantheit, zwischen Reaktion und Wirkung – und darum, warum gute Kommunikation eben nicht bedeutet, immer sofort etwas zu sagen.

Zwei Käufe, zwei sehr unterschiedliche Value-Cases und beide landen im echtgeld.tv-Depot. Tobias Kramer spricht mit Stefan Waldhauser über zwei Aktien abseits von KI-Hype und Marktmode – und trifft am Ende zwei konkrete Kaufentscheidungen. Um diese Aktien geht´s: Angi – Hierzulande bekannt durch MyHammer ist ein Turnaround-Case mit neuem Management, klarer Kostenagenda und hohem Cashflow-Hebel. Schon moderates Umsatzwachstum könnte stark durchschlagen, aber erstmal werden Kosten gesenkt. IAC – Beteiligungsgesellschaft mit gedrückter Bewertung. Der Markt fokussiert sich auf die MGM-Beteiligung, während Cash, Immobilien und weitere Assets kaum eingepreist sind. Tobias steigt ein und will aber bei einer möglichen Neubewertung dabei sein.

Roi Ben-Yehuda has built a career exploring the dragons that get in the way of courageous action…and how to slay them. He's the founder of NextArrow, where he works with leaders at companies like Twitch, Sony, and Angi to build cultures rooted in clarity and bold thinking. In this episode, he and Ryan dig into what courage looks like in the real world, and why most people know what to do but struggle to do it. They unpack Roi's formula and how fear, ego, and self-doubt can quietly erode performance and talk about the role of humor, play, and storytelling in creating safer, stronger teams.

“Angi” is conflicted between what her friend is saying and what her brother is telling her.

Want proof that service scales? Angi Standish joins us with a candid, energizing tour through nearly three decades in real estate—starting with a third attempt at the licensing exam and arriving at leading a high-performing Lake Norman office. Along the way, she built a mixed-use community, weathered a recession, detoured into banking to sharpen her leadership, then returned to coach agents with calm, clarity, and systems that actually stick. We dig into the real story behind today's market and why headlines can mislead your clients. Angi lays out the local data—new listings up, closings up, median price holding, and average days on market under two months—and explains how pricing to condition still sparks multiple offers. For buyers, she makes a practical case: you only know today's rates and prices, inventory offers more choice, and rent is 100% interest. Get pre-approved, move thoughtfully, and lock payment certainty while others wait for perfect.Angi also details the traits that drive sustainable success: abundance, positivity, tenacity, knowledge, and confidence. Then she stacks the veteran playbook on top—systems, expectation-setting, and adaptability—so you stay in flow during longer ownership cycles. We spotlight open houses as growth engines when you treat them like events: abundant signage, neighbor invites, social promotion, fast follow-up, and sincere conversations that lead to listings. On the digital front, Angi shares how one agent turned short-form video into 60% of her business, and why outsourcing content is a smart move if you lack time. The throughline is servant leadership: show up, teach, mentor, encourage, and solve problems with authenticity so people become who they want to be.Listen for practical scripts, market clarity you can share with your sphere, and real-world tactics you can run this weekend. If this conversation helped you find your next step, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a quick review to help more agents lead with service.

My Guest: Angie Hicks, co-founder of Angie's List (now called Angi). She started the company at just 23, going door-to-door as a self-described introvert and non-salesperson, and turned it into a national platform trusted by millions. During our conversation, we discuss what it takes to lead with authenticity and build lasting impact.  Key Learnings Lead by listening and showing up. Whether it's knocking on doors as a 23-year-old or meeting employees during office hours as CEO, Angie reminds us that being present, paying attention, and seeking feedback is the heart of leadership. Focus on people and learning. Angie's career filter is simple: Do I like the people I'm working with? Am I learning new things? If yes, keep going. If not, it's time to reconsider. Excellence isn't just about results. It's about the environment and growth around you. Take your work seriously, but not yourself. Confidence, humility, and authenticity go hand in hand. Angie shows us that you can be ambitious and driven without losing sight of the human side of leadership. From Angie... My co-founder, Bill Osterle, came to me when I was a senior in college and said, "Hey, I've got a crazy idea. Your parents are gonna hate it. But why don't we start a business?" I talked to my parents, talked to my friends, and then I ended up talking to my grandfather who was incredibly conservative. He grew up in the Depression, very fiscally responsible. "What do you have to lose? You're 22, your parents aren't going to let you starve, and you're not trying to support a family, so why don't you try it?" I was so taken aback by his response that that comment was probably what pushed me over the edge. I think young people can do this a lot, as we tend to overthink decisions. Sometimes people see things in you that you don't see in yourself, and you've gotta have a little faith. What better time to have a little faith than when you're young and carefree? Work hard, and things will come your way. We started in 1995. It was an offline world. We started as a call-in service and a monthly newsletter. The first name of the company was Columbus Neighbors. We left it like that for a year, and people just didn't get it. They thought the newsletter was the list. We decided to do a rebranding nine months in. We had two options: The List or Jackie's List (Jackie was the mother of one of our investors who knew everybody). At the last minute, Bill said maybe it should be Angie's List. "She does answer the phone." Going door to door was hard. There was a lot of crying, I will be honest. I was selling something that wasn't concrete. "Hey, so when you need a plumber, you're gonna call me and I'm gonna help you find a plumber. And then when you hire someone, you're gonna tell me about it." I viewed it as a numbers game. I need to knock on so many doors every day, and that's just what I'm going to do. Hopefully, if I stay on my pitch and I knock on enough doors, I will sell the right number of memberships. If I was selling one or two memberships a day, that's great. No business was gonna be built on me selling one or two memberships a day, but that's where we were. Sometimes you have to do the hard stuff. Sometimes you have to do the stuff you're not good at, and you have to figure out ways to work around it. Because no matter what you do in your career, there's gonna be stuff you don't love. I broke it down by like, I'm gonna do it for these two hours. I'm a believer in the you can do anything for a year philosophy. I could do anything for an hour a day. So you have to kind of disconnect and treat it that way, as this is like taking my medicine. But you do win every once in a while. And it is fun when you win. It is fun when you sell something. The day Patty gave me her church directory was the best day ever. You gotta celebrate the little wins as well in life. Starting a business is a long journey. It is more of a marathon than a sprint. There's usually not this burst of momentum where everything rolls your way. It's building blocks along the way. If you don't celebrate those little wins and you only focus on, oh, I'm not gonna be happy until we're at 10,000 members, that could be years. You need things to keep you going every day. Patty lived near Bill, so she kinda liked him too, but I think there was a little bit of entrepreneur in Patty. Patty needed nothing from us. She had lived in Columbus her entire life. She had renovated a 1920s house. All she was able to do was give. She knew everybody. But I think she just loved the spirit. You don't know whether that's door seven, door one, door 57, you don't know. But there is typically a breakthrough. Staying true and persistent, you know, there probably weren't a lot of women starting businesses going door to door in 1995, and Patty was like, look, she's got some gumption. She's tackling a business that in many ways is a man's world. Construction is a man's world. Whether that's starting a business or finding the right boss, or finding the right position, that same lesson is the same. I talk to young people, I say, Hey, you can do marketing anywhere. There's any company you can do marketing. When it comes to me... Go where you're gonna be with somebody who believes in you. That's gonna invest in you, because that's actually what's gonna change your trajectory. It's not the name on the company that's gonna change your trajectory. It's actually who's got your back, who's coaching you, that's going to make the biggest difference. The next inflection point for me was when we opened in Cleveland the year after that. It was the first market we had opened from scratch. I remember I went one morning and picked up the newspaper, picked up the Plain Dealer at the bagel shop across the street from my office. And there it was, our little two-by-three ad that said, "Tired of lousy service" with some clip art. I was so excited. I was like, This is amazing. We're in Cleveland. This is gonna be so great. And then I remember telling Bill, "We're gonna get so many calls." And he's like, "We're gonna get so many calls." And I don't think we got any calls that day. The transition from individual contributor to leading others was a horrible transition. It's actually really hard. I tell people that all the time because if you think about who do we promote in companies, we promote really strong individual performers. The skills that make us really good individual performers do not necessarily make us good leaders, managers, et cetera, because it's actually a whole different skillset. I was that overachiever kind of controller, let me just do it type person. You have to actually train yourself to not do those things because no one's ever going to be successful and learn if you're just over there stepping in. The early days when I was young and trying to manage people, not good. Not good at all. I ended up leaving for a year and a half to go to business school. I was pretty burnt out on the business, and I probably would've left the business had I not gone. It gave me a chance to reflect on where I've been and step back. Now I understand, I'm not in the pressure cooker. I can see where I've mistepped. I left when I was 25, three years in. The business had gotten big enoug,h and we decided to bring in a CEO because the 22- 23-year-old was kinda like, maybe we need some leadership here. My co-founder joined full-time at that point and came in as CEO. I joke around, I'm like, take a break. I was still keeping the books. The TV commercial was a hundred thousand dollars, which I had to convince our board on. I was like, look, either we try this or we just close Cleveland because there is no scenario here that we're gonna build a business with door-to-door sales at the rate we're moving. We basically took everything on Cleveland, which was $100,000. I would've been devastated had it failed. People started calling. I was so excited. Then all of a sudden it just kinda went bananas. You realize there's a lot of people with this problem. Doors slammed in my face at that point, not as much of an issue. And then we ended up being in Boston and Washington, and a bunch of other cities. Every time we'd go to a city, I'd fly in, and I would open the paper, and I would get all happy. The TV commercials themselves were funny because I can't do anything for fun anymore without seeing myself in the commercial. I did the first one, and they're like, listen, we're just gonna, we're not gonna tell anybody. It's just gonna go on, you know, we're just gonna do it really quietly. I was like, great. Okay, fine. And then it kind of took off. I had young kids at the time. I wouldn't let us advertise on kids' shows. There was never us on Disney Channel or Nickelodeon because I didn't want that. But the kids would see me on TV. You know, they would see me doing interviews. It happened for them at such a young age that they just kind of thought that's what parents did. I remember one of my kids coming home in middle school and being like, I can't believe you didn't tell me you were famous because it was finally, the friends had grown up enough that they were like, you know who her mom is, right? I became a little more closed off in my personal life as I became more public. Kids deserve to grow up in a world where they get to be kids and not have to deal with that stuff. In our little town, people were like, Oh yeah, she just lives here. And it became not a thing. It became more relevant to me when I was traveling. I started doing office hours. I did it on Fridays leading into the lunchtime, which, let's be honest, was probably one of the squishiest times of productive work. I was with a group of CEOs the other day, and I actually suggested, just try a little. It doesn't have to be a big thing. Just try a little and see where it takes you. The meetings were anything. It was career advice. What should I do? They might have ideas for the business. Hey, we should go into this line. I remember talking one day to our head of legal, and I was like, you know, I don't get open-door media requests anymore. And she kind of chuckled, and she said, That's because you have them all the time. You allow problems to come to you before they're big problems, so they become less of a thing. I'd rather people bring their concerns internally first and listen to 'em and address 'em when you can. They always come internally first, whether it's from an employee, whether it's from a customer. It's just how we handle those things as to whether they blow up into something bigger. I always tried to give them something in return. They come to talk to me and I'd introduce 'em to someone who would help. I'd open a door for them. To this day, I still love talking to customers. I think we live in a very digital age, and I feel like we don't talk to one another very much. People like people. They need to feel heard and have things resolved. I took that office hours idea, and now I do it with customers, so any pro can sign up and talk to me. Gives me a chance to understand, get a pulse on what's going on. The people on the front line are the ones who are making your brand. The marketing team might make some great social posts and some great TV ads. But many times, the people who are manning the phones or your chats are the ones that are leaving a more lasting impression on your brand than anything else. How do you bring the voice of the customer into the organization? Not everybody in our company is a homeowner. How do you make sure they can understand the customer? What's life like as a small business owner, as a pro? What's it like for a homeowner when something goes awry on their worst day? How do I bring those stories to life? I had to convince myself that it was a good use of time. Busy people who have lots of responsibility are active doers, overachievers, to sit back and talk and listen feels like, Okay, am I moving the needle? It feels a bit too squishy. That's why I would treat it just like some of the other things. I will give it an hour a week. Let's see what happens there. I could see the payoff. I can't go spend 30% of my time doing this, but there is a portion of time that I do dedicate. Feedback is a gift and something you should seek out. But yeah, it doesn't always feel great. One of the hardest pieces of advice I got came at a time when we were actually trying to do a transaction. They said, "You have an executive presence issue." And I was like, what? They said, "You're too nice to everybody. It doesn't help the company." I can't tell you how much that comment just killed me. But then I went out and got an executive coach, and I reflected on it. In many ways, it made me a better CEO. I learned that I could be me and I could still be nice and I could be kind, but there are moments I have to be clear. When I'm looking to promote someone or hire someone, knowing your stuff is super important. You don't want this person, who says, I'm the one who always knows the answer. You want someone who can learn from their team. I spent most of my career running marketing, and marketing moves fast. Some of the youngest members of the team are teaching me more things over the years than even some of the more seasoned marketing people. How are you constantly having a view about learning and staying smart in the trade? The ability to just be a good partner or work with people is important. Your job's not to come in and knock down walls. It's actually to build relationships because you can't do everything yourself. How are you at building cross-department relationships? My advice to recent grads: One of my favorites, take your work very seriously. Be good at what you do. Don't always be looking for that next thing that you gotta go tackle. Do what's in front of you first. Don't take yourself too seriously. You come out, you're like, Oh, I have all of these credentials. I should therefore be able to do these things. Sometimes the envelopes need stuffed and we might all do that together. So don't take yourself too seriously. We're gonna do this together. Be open to feedback and to helping others. Don't be afraid when people suggest things that seem totally counter. I think sometimes we get too rigid in our plans. I use Angie's List as an example. I was supposed to be a consultant. I was supposed to go be a business consultant, but then Bill comes in and says, hey, what about this? I could have easily been a business consultant and had a nice life. But I chose that door. A lot of times, people get a little too narrow in their focus and miss opportunities. So stay open to that. For me, it's all about the people you work with. Working with people that you're learning from, that believe in you, that's all that matters. I overindex there. People ask me, how are you still doing this after 30 years? I ask myself two questions, and if I can answer yes to those two questions, I'm in. If I answer no, I'm out. The two things are: Do I like the people I'm working with, and am I learning new things? When you're as long in your career as I am, you have to dedicate time and effort to learning new things so that you don't become that person that is like, we do this because we've always done it this way. Which I think is just like the worst line ever. Reflection Questions Angie's grandfather asked, "What do you have to lose?" when she was 22 and hesitating about starting a business. What decision are you currently overthinking that you might need to just take a leap on while you're young (or young enough) and the risk is manageable? S She says the skills that make us really good individual performers don't necessarily make us good leaders. If you've recently been promoted or are leading others, what specific "doer" habits do you need to let go of so your team can learn and succeed? Angie stayed at Angi for 30 years by asking herself two questions: "Do I like the people I'm working with?" and "Am I learning new things?" How would you honestly answer those two questions about your current role? If the answer to either is no, what does that tell you?

In this episode, Scott (@MillionDollarLandscaper) is joined by Jake Hundley and Cody See of Evergrow Marketing to break down the truth about online ad platforms—and which ones landscapers should actually be using. They dig into Google Ads vs. Local Service Ads (LSAs), why Nextdoor might be your best-kept secret, how Yelp and Angi's can work (but only if you respond fast), and why the real problem usually isn't the platform—it's your sales process. If you've ever said, “That platform doesn't work,” you'll want to hear this.   They also share how AI voice answering services are changing the game for landscapers who can't always answer the phone—and why failing to follow up is costing you jobs.   Welcome to The Million Dollar Landscaper Podcast w/Scott Molchan, landscaper-turned-coach helping business owners stop spinning their wheels, build smart systems, and finally run a profitable company without burning out. On this podcast, you'll hear how to attract better customers, price your work for profit, and learn the lessons Scott picked up while scaling his own landscaping business.
