Taylor Chastain, the owner of Up Up and Away Junk Hauling has had a fun journey in Junk Removal and it all started with the "toilet people" offering for him to use their trailer. Tune in to hear the story! From Taylor: "I get asked this question all the time. People ask me, "Taylor, how did you start junk hauling?" And the story is really simple. When I was 17, I was in high school and I was doing a little bit of landscaping, just trying to make some money. My dad had a landscaping gig as his first job and he's always been an entrepreneur. So I figured I could start there. I realized pretty quickly that I hate landscaping. But I had one of my landscaping clients reach out to me and they said they just had all their toilets redone and they asked if I could take them to the dump. I said, "great, where's the dump?" They told me where it was and told me they would give me 20 bucks to pay for the dump fees and buy my lunch. 17 year old Taylor said, Sign me up. So I loaded up pulled into the transfer station, backed the trailer in, and threw the toilets on the ground. Guess what!? They shattered into tiny pieces. My first thought was, that was FUN. My second thought was, I bet I could get paid for that. So I finished off the year for my landscape clients, but since then it has been all about the junk. That was eight years ago. I was in a $1,500 beat up pickup truck and I borrowed a trailer from the toilet family to be able to use for hauling. The agreement was that I would dump it wherever they filled it and if I did that I could use it whenever I wanted. So that's how I got started, and now I'm so thankful to be where I'm at now with crews and trucks and all that sort of stuff. It really has been awesome. Every step of the way I feel like God's provided and open doors and my family and friends have been awesome and supportive. It's great to be able to be doing 20 and 30 jobs a week and helping a lot of people."

This is an interview I couldn't be more excited for! I have the incredible honor of having Bob Burg on The Blue Crocus Experience Podcast. A bit of backstory. Bob's book "The Go-Giver" changed my outlook on life and business last March. Instead of the desperation in "Getting" sales, he helped to change my perspective to giving value first, helping as many people as I could. When I saw Ken Walls Interview him a few weeks ago, I reached out to connect with Bob, and through a lovely messenger conversation, he agreed to jump on with me and chat about the concepts in his book, and more. Thank you Ken Walls for connecting us, and thank you Bob for joining me! Bob's new Go-Giver Success Alliance Mentorship Community: https://gogiversuccessalliance.com/ About Bob: Bob Burg is a sought-after speaker at company leadership and sales conferences sharing the platform with everyone from today's business leaders and broadcast personalities to even a former U.S. President. Bob is the author of a number of books on sales, marketing and influence, with total book sales of well over a million copies. His book, The Go-Giver, coauthored with John David Mann, itself has sold over 975,000 copies and it has been translated into 29 languages. His and John's newest parable in the Go-Giver Series is The Go-Giver Influencer. Bob is an advocate, supporter and defender of the Free Enterprise system, believing that the amount of money one makes is directly proportional to how many people they serve. He is also an unapologetic animal fanatic, and is a past member of the Board of Directors of Furry Friends Adoption, Clinic & Ranch in his town of Jupiter, Florida. ---------- Welcome to the internet's best produced podcast for contractors and business owners, hosted by Lewis Vandervalk of Blue Crocus Solutions.

How can I maintain a positive outlook after being “let go” and forced to deal with the cruel reality of landing a new job, position and career? One morning, a single message awakened me and pounded in my head. “I must be STRONG for my family.” I quickly reached for my nightstand journal and wrote S-T-R-O-N-G: S tand T all R emain O ptimistic N ow G o for it From that morning's S-T-R-O-N-G message, a daily writing routine began. Each day delivered a new message and forced me to pause, think, and frame a positive expectation for the day. Each message guided my thoughts, intentions and actions as I sought the new opportunity that would offer even greater potential. I shared the messages daily with my family. Together we formed an unstoppable optimism to persevere. We learned to take any setback and make it our springboard lifting us above any potentially adverse situation. Within 45 days, I landed a fantastic position with a great company. The messages continued to flow and motivate me to work hard to make good things happen in my new role. My writing emerged out of necessity, yet lasted four hundred consecutive days. They became a joyful routine of finding more inspiration and strength. Everything I learned in those days created something inspiring.” Connect with Blue Crocus Solutions on the web: https://www.bluecrocus.ca/ Join our Facebook Group for Contractors: https://www.facebook.com/groups/148165343156578/ Find the podcast here: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Wu30ZfqiUcL9fYzZ8UE03 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ro/podcast/the-blue-crocus-experience/id1509376927 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8xZGY1YjM1Yy9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw%3D%3D

Kit Moore and I had a terrific conversation about growth, risk, and common themes around those topics as they relate to entrepreneurs. We answer questions like "Why is risk central to growth and development? " and "What are some methods to manage risk?" Kit is the chief servant at BluePrint CPAs. Sure, he's a specialized tax accountant (CPA, CA) and can help you save in the six figures. More importantly, he's a serial entrepreneur with a ton of enthusiasm for growth strategies and execution. His industry depth in technology, construction, real estate, energy, agriculture and even cannabis deregulation complements his technical expertise in growth strategy, advanced tax structures, innovation, mergers and corporate finance. He's also a proud father and hubby - he loves Cassondra and his four children even more than entrepreneurship. When he's not running (his businesses), he likes fishing and cottaging. (in fact, we squeezed in this episode just before he headed out on a fishing trip!)
