Roland Ligtenberg is the Co-founder and SVP of Growth & Innovation at Housecall Pro, a leading vertical SaaS platform that empowers home service professionals to manage and grow their businesses more efficiently. Under Roland's leadership, Housecall Pro has scaled to serve over 100,000 home service professionals, powering tens of billions of dollars in gross merchandise volume, and pioneering the use of AI team members to streamline operations for its customers. In this episode… What if the people keeping our homes running could grow their businesses without burning out on paperwork and missed calls? And what if AI wasn't about replacing jobs, but about giving small, hands-on entrepreneurs a real edge in a world that keeps demanding more from them? According to Roland Ligtenberg, a longtime builder of technology for real-world problems, the answer lies in using AI as a set of practical teammates rather than shiny experiments. He believes blue collar business owners shouldn't have to choose between doing the work they love and managing the back office chaos that comes with growth. When AI can answer phones, track finances, and surface insights the same way a seasoned assistant would, it frees owners to focus on jobs, customers, and building wealth that lasts. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Roland Ligtenberg, Co-founder and SVP of Growth & Innovation at Housecall Pro, about harnessing AI to empower blue collar entrepreneurs. They discuss how AI "team members" help home service businesses handle more demand, why mobile-first software was critical for trades, and how technology can remove hiring bottlenecks. Roland also gives advice on building a mission-driven company that stays meaningful as it scales.

Erik Hatterscheidt knows what it's like to have a high-responsibility job and feel absolutely isolated by it. He also knows how hard it is to start and sustain a business (he's started many) and how failure is a guaranteed part of the journey. Turns out, he's not the only one out there. Men like him gather together around the world as a part of his moto expedition club. They pick a destination, pick a mission (from delivering medical supplies to exploring lost cities), take their motorcycles, and learn all the lessons that emerge along the way. That could be leadership or simply mindset shifts and gratitude. The club is a place to grow and learn from each other while doing some good at the same time. Listen to him talk to Max about his journey as well as a special offer from Erik to the audience.   For more from Erik: LinkedIn freshlineclub.com Instagram   For More From Sober Coach/Substance Abuse Counselor Max Njist, visit MaxNijst.org  

In this Christmas episode, Jesse steps back from year-end checklists and market noise to tell a more personal story—one shaped by the "ghosts" of his financial past, present, and future. He begins with the early experiences that formed his relationship with money: a summer concession stand that taught him pricing, customer focus, and the power of simply telling people what you do; a first job cleaning bathrooms at a state park that clarified the difference between earning a paycheck and building a career; and the moment in his mid-20s when seeing real dollars in his 401(k) pulled him into a decade-long deep dive on personal finance, blogging, and eventually a full career change into wealth management. From there, he pivots into a transparent walkthrough of his current systems—how he and his wife structure savings, manage cash, use insurance, approach debt, track spending, and design an investment allocation that reflects real life rather than theory. He also shares three planning cases from this year that reveal the human side of financial advice: navigating retirement after a family death, unwinding concentrated stock risk for a high-earning executive, and giving one engineer the peace of mind to sleep through layoff fears. Looking ahead, Jesse reflects on where the industry is headed—AI-enabled tools, changing fee models, and a shift toward values-based planning—while outlining how he and his family think about the future with a firm grip on flexibility, priorities, and the fleeting years of raising young children. It's an intimate, thoughtful close to the year—less about spreadsheets and more about why financial planning matters in the life you're actually living. Key Takeaways: • Take time to seek out new opportunities. Putting yourself out there for advancement is one of the most straightforward ways to advance financially. • Getting "skin in the game" with real dollars in a 401(k) or investment account is often the catalyst for learning personal finance at a deeper level. • A blended approach to retirement savings (401(k), Roth IRA, HSA) builds both tax flexibility and long-term resilience. • Cash-management infrastructure—joint accounts, high-yield banks, and legacy accounts—matters less than ensuring clarity, shared access, and ease of use. • Tools like the state-run CHIP/Child Health Plus programs can dramatically reduce healthcare costs for families with children. • Strong personal finances create flexibility: the ability to enjoy life now while still protecting the future—especially during the irreplaceable years of raising children.

  If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, unmotivated, or like you just cannot seem to move the needle forward right now, this episode is your sign. Evie and Lindsey deliver a short, powerful entrepreneur pep talk filled with tough love, honest encouragement, and practical reminders for those seasons when business and life feel heavy. They talk about why slow progress is still real progress, why asking for help is a strength not a failure, and why comparison, especially on social media, will rob you of joy faster than anything else. The girls reframe failure as proof that you are trying, remind you that someone else's win does not equal your loss, and encourage you to stop letting fear, procrastination, or overwhelm keep you frozen. You'll also hear a simple but game changing productivity mindset shift using the five minute rule to help you push past resistance and finally start the task you've been avoiding. This episode is part encouragement, part reality check, and part loving nudge to get honest about what you want your life and business to feel like, and then take responsibility for making the shift. If you needed a reminder that you are capable, not behind, and not alone, this one is for you.

In this encore episode of Rapid Response, we revisit a scientific breakthrough that set the internet ablaze: The ‘de-extinction' of the dire wolf. While many celebrated Colossal Biosciences' announcement, the experiment also sparked controversy throughout the scientific community — namely the ethics of birthing and re-wilding extinct animals, and whether Colossal's dire wolf puppies are the real thing. Colossal's co-founder and CEO Ben Lamm joined Rapid Response to take us inside the dire wolf journey, revealing how the startup attracted a roster of celebrity investors, and what the company's technology means for not only conservation and biodiversity, but potentially the future of human health.

The Referable Client Experience with Stacey Brown Randall   Most business owners say they want more referrals. Very few are actually drowning in them. The default strategy is to do good work, hope people notice, and maybe ask for introductions when things get slow. In this episode of Profit Answer Man, I sit down again with referral expert and author Stacey Brown Randall to talk about why that approach does not work and how to build a truly referrable client experience.   Stacey has spent years helping small business owners generate referrals without asking, without incentives, and without feeling manipulative. Her new book, The Referrable Client Experience, dives into how your day to day client journey can become your most powerful referral engine.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: Referrals, Introductions, and Word-of-Mouth Are Not the Same Thing. One of the first big shifts Stacey brings is simply defining our terms. A referral happens when a referral source connects you directly to a prospect, clearly identifies a need, and positions you as the solution. An introduction is just a connection. There is no identified need. Word-of-mouth buzz is when someone talks about you or gives out your name, but you are never actually connected. Most business owners lump all three together. The problem is that only one of them consistently leads to new clients. If all you are getting is introductions and vague "I mentioned you to someone" comments, you are not really running a referral strategy. Your Small Size Is Your Superpower. When we talk about "client experience," most people picture big company initiatives, software, and dashboards. Stacey defines client experience more simply as how your client feels while they work with you. That is where small business wins. You can: Make clients feel seen and remembered, Adjust quickly when something is off, Add personal, human touches that big companies could never scale, If you want to go from a good client experience to a referrable one, you have to understand the emotions you are creating along the way and be intentional about them. The Science Behind Why Referrals Happen. Referrals are not magic. Stacey frames them through three lenses: What happens in the brain of the referral source. When someone makes a great referral, "feel good" chemicals fire in their brain. They get to be the hero who solved a problem for someone they care about. It is about them helping the prospect, not about you. The psychology of trust. Referral sources do not need to know every credential or detail about you. What matters is that they trust you as a person and do not forget you. That trust is nurtured by consistent, human touch points, not by dumping your resume on them. Behavioral economics. Instead of manipulating reciprocity, Stacey focuses on the positive side: using surprise, delight, and variety in your touch points so people remember you and feel connected to you. Gifts, Touch Points, and What Actually Lands. Gifts can be powerful but they are often used poorly. Stacey's guidance: A gift should not be tied directly to a single referral, or you train people to expect a payout each time. For each referral source, build a plan of five to seven touch points over the year that happen whether or not referrals come in. Use gifts sparingly, and make them meaningful, humorous, or heartfelt enough to be memorable. If it took you two seconds to choose and send, it probably will not stand out. For actual referrals as they happen, Stacey recommends something simple and powerful: a handwritten thank you note. Be Strategic, Not "Spray and Pray". When owners want more referrals, they often default to more networking. More coffee dates, more events, more people. Stacey calls out the problem with this "spray and pray" approach. Instead, she encourages business owners to: Identify their ideal referral sources by asking, "Who regularly sees my ideal client before I do?" Focus on building real relationships with those few instead of trying to convert every person in the room. Accept that it is a numbers game, but a strategic one: you may meet a hundred people and end up with three or four true referral partners.   Key Takeaway: Referrals are not a mystery reserved for the lucky few. They are the predictable result of a client experience that makes people feel seen, cared for, and confident enough to put their reputation on the line for you. When you understand the science behind referrals and build a simple plan around your best referral sources, you can stop chasing cold leads and start welcoming more ideal clients who already trust you.   Bio: Stacey Brown Randall is the author of the new book, The Referable Client Experience, and the multiple award-winning book, Generating Business Referrals Without Asking. She is also the host of the Roadmap to Referrals podcast. Stacey teaches business owners how to generate referrals naturally…without manipulating, incentivizing, or even asking. She has been featured in national publications like Entrepreneur magazine, Investor Business Daily, Forbes, and more.

Stacey's insights remind us that when you create a journey rooted in trust, care, and thoughtful connection, referrals become a natural byproduct—not a struggle. By understanding the science behind why people refer and building a simple, intentional plan around your best referral sources, you can replace unpredictable lead generation with a reliable, relationship-driven system that grows your business sustainably and profitably.   #ProfitAnswerMan #SmallBusinessGrowth #Referrals #ClientExperience #BusinessProfit #CashFlow #TrustedAdvisor #BusinessStrategy   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

If you've ever delayed looking at your numbers, dreaded a bookkeeping meeting, or felt a pit in your stomach when someone says "Let's review your finances," this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale. In this conversation, Danielle sits down with financial advisor and partner at Orange Financial Brad Cunningham for an honest look at why entrepreneurs struggle with money clarity and why confidence doesn't come from spreadsheets. It comes from understanding your numbers and applying that knowledge to your life and your business.  Key Takeaways:  Money Avoidance Is Emotional, Not Logistical: Most entrepreneurs avoid their financials because looking at numbers exposes vulnerability. When you understand the emotions underneath, clarity becomes much easier. Savings Habits Matter More Than Investment Choices: Brad explains why even the best investment strategy can't fix a poor savings rate and why behavior is the real foundation of wealth. Traditional Budgets Fail Because They Feel Limiting: Instead of obsessing over restrictions, focus on understanding your cash flow and aligning spending with your values and goals. Entrepreneurs Often "Out-Earn" Their Problems Without Solving Them: As revenue grows, lifestyle often expands at the same pace. Real financial health requires intentional guardrails. You Need a Money Team, Not One Money Person: Bookkeeper, tax accountant, CFO/coach, and financial advisor—each role supports a different part of your financial picture, and they should work together. Tax Strategies Shouldn't Sabotage Long-Term Flexibility: Saving money this year shouldn't come at the cost of future options or long-term growth. Clarity Creates Confidence: When you understand your numbers and the behaviors behind them, financial anxiety drops and decision-making becomes easier. Topics Discussed: (00:00) Intro: Brad's Background and What He Does (02:43) Why Entrepreneurs Avoid Looking at Their Financial Data (03:32) Fear of Financial Vulnerability and How It Impacts Decision-Making (05:39) The Problem with "Putting the Cart Before the Horse" in Investing (06:09) The Truth About the 4.4% Savings Rate and Why Traditional Budgeting Doesn't Work  (09:56) The Danger of Trying to "Out-Earn" Your Problems & What Will Actually Solve Issues (11:09) The 20% Savings Benchmark for Entrepreneurs  (12:16) Danielle's Breakdown of the 4 Essential Members of Your "Money Team" (15:16) Rethinking Tax Strategy and Future Flexibility  (18:31) Building Launch Plans for Your Children (20:39) HSAs, 401(k)s, IRAs, and 529s: Why Context Matters  (21:50) Pitfalls with Traditional Budgets and Using a Better Method of Budgeting (26:33) Promo: Kickstart Accounting's "Check Your Books" Service (27:45) Pitfalls with Traditional Budgets and Using a Better Method of Budgeting (29:44) Final Thoughts on Confidence, Clarity, and Long-Term Planning (21:36) Outro: Like, Share and Subscribe!   Resources: Connect with Brad | https://goorangefinancial.com/  Check Your Books | kickstartaccountinginc.com/checkyourbooks    Book a Call with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: https://kickstartaccountinginc.com/book-a-call/    Connect with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/Kickstartaccounting YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@businessbythebooks  Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/kickstartaccountinginc

What if losing half your business in a betrayal led you to make $120,000 in 60 days on a platform everyone ignores? In this episode, Anthony Simonie shares how being adopted by his grandparents literally saved his life and how that experience shaped everything from his approach to entrepreneurship to his decision to adopt both of his children, Miles and Daisy. After his nine-month-old son Miles stopped breathing and Anthony performed CPR not knowing if his son would survive, his business partner exploited that crisis by drawing up a fraudulent amendment that gave away half of Anthony's half of their seven-figure business. That betrayal could have crushed him. Instead, it led Anthony to discover LinkedIn's hidden goldmine. Within 30 days, he generated $60,000 in new business plus $60,000 in recurring revenue, for $120,000 total. He did it again the next 30 days with the exact same numbers, proving it wasn't luck but a duplicatable system. Now, having helped over 1,000 clients leverage LinkedIn to build databases of affluent prospects, land strategic partnerships, and get booked on podcasts, Anthony has turned relationship-building into a science. Anthony reveals why his five-foot-tall Italian grandmother's persistence shaped his entrepreneurial DNA, how his daughter Daisy (his niece whose parents both committed suicide within five months) is now thriving, and why Tim Tebow's words hit him like a lightning bolt: "You can be successful without having any significance."   [00:05:40] Raised by Grandparents, Saved by Adoption Adopted and raised by grandparents, literally saved Anthony's life Grandparents stepped up when they should've been enjoying retirement Both of Anthony's kids (Miles and Daisy) are adopted because adoption was a blessing for him Five-foot-tall Italian grandmother wouldn't let anyone leave without a meal, haircut, and promise to go to church [00:07:00] Learning Entrepreneurship at Craft Shows Grandmother was an artist making ceramic and wooden crafts Anthony helped her set up and break down at craft shows Watched her overcome challenges as they came She taught persistence and perseverance that stuck with him forever [00:08:00] The Pharmaceutical Sales Path Finished high school, walked onto college baseball team (paid for school for couple years) Became pharmaceutical sales rep like his stepdad, seemed like helping people Got job at Schering-Plough, did well but wasn't happy Started learning pharmaceutical goods may not be so good for us [00:10:00] The Foreclosure Cleaning Business Buddy said "We've got this little side business cleaning out foreclosed properties" At first thought "I don't think I wanna clean houses" Had moment of "I'm just done" with corporate job Started business, expanded from Missouri to Los Angeles (brother in charge), then Phoenix [00:11:00] The Dan Kennedy Event That Changed Everything Same friend took him to Dan Kennedy marketing event in St. Louis Eyes opened watching people make money helping others understand their business Friend said "Why don't we do it together, you be the face" Anthony had already turned cleaning business into real business with systems [00:11:40] First Year: Over $1 Million Partnered up, grew business in first year to over $1 million Had to learn everything: copywriting, email, webinars, buying traffic At first loved the money, but then started receiving messages from people he was helping "You saved my marriage. You helped save me from losing my home." Hundreds of them. [00:12:40] When It Became More Than Money First time felt complete: "This is so much more than just the money" People appreciate you, like you for what you're doing to help them Attorneys, physicians, everyone was losing businesses during that time Learning how to make income by doing something in large demand that people didn't know existed [00:15:40] Losing Everything Was the beginning of everything falling apart Used to a certain quality of life, now worried about son and business blows up Lost interest in the business, couldn't do it anymore, business died Partner had franchised business to double dip, his franchise failed too [00:17:20] LinkedIn Saves the Day Anthony: "LinkedIn? Are you trying to help me get a job? I'm not looking for a job" Took skills he'd learned and applied them to LinkedIn platform Created an offer, first 30 days sold $60,000 plus $60,000 recurring = $120,000 Thought maybe he got lucky, then did exact same thing next 30 days with same numbers [00:18:20] Helping Over 1,000 Clients Realized he had something duplicatable Close circle started asking what he was doing, started sharing it Years later, helped over 1,000 clients leverage LinkedIn Building databases of affluent prospects, referral partnerships, getting on podcasts, strategic partnerships [00:19:00] Every Successful Entrepreneur Has Been Crushed You're gonna have ups and downs in business If you have fortitude to stick it out and learn from challenges, you grow When you talk to people at measurable level of success, all have been through steep challenges Sometimes way worse than Anthony's experiences [00:23:40] Not An Agency, Highly Customized Not a one-size-fits-all agency approach Very highly customized and specific strategy depending on who you are, what you offer, who you serve Usually at capacity, takes on one or two new clients per month Recently launched "done with you" program to teach people how to run the play themselves [00:28:40] The God Thing Anthony and Jill were thinking about adopting again Friend sent invitation to dinner for adoption agency Right during that timeframe, all the tragedy happened with Daisy "It was a God thing... put on our hearts for specific reason: to step up and take care of Daisy" [00:30:40] Tim Tebow's Words: Success Without Significance At mastermind, got to watch Tim Tebow speak One thing stuck: "You can be successful without having any significance" Never heard it phrased that way before If all entrepreneurs adopt that mindset, we can change the world better than any politician [00:32:20] Starting the Real Estate Fund Works with lots of real estate syndicators and operators Asked: How else can I serve these people outside of helping them make more money? Started real estate fund to protect capital and provide hedge against inflation Helps people grow their capital while protecting it [00:35:00] Nobody Is Self-Made Doesn't believe anybody's self-made When people say "I'm a self-made millionaire" they're not being honest Even just your mother deciding to go through with birth, that person helped you There's abundance of opportunity, money, success out there for everybody [00:40:20] Remember Why You Do What You Do We live in world that's so distracted, separated, at odds Take time every day and remember why you do what you do, who you do it for What's the purpose, what's the passion, how does it impact world around us Entrepreneurs can change the world, but it starts under our own roof [00:42:40] Turn Off The News for 30 Days Challenge: Turn off news for next 30 days Watch how your mind clears up and you start focusing on things that matter You'll become more productive, have more pep in your step If you're business owner, you need that clarity to continue with what you're compelled to do   KEY QUOTES "You can be successful without having any significance." - Tim Tebow (as shared by Anthony) "I don't believe anybody's self-made. Even just your mother deciding to go through with the birth, that person helped you." - Anthony Simonie "We as entrepreneurs can change the world in my humble opinion, but that starts with us. It starts under our own roof." - Anthony Simonie CONNECT WITH ANTHONY SIMONIE 

How can we care for the soil and farm for better health outcomes?   Dr. Christine Mahoney of the University of Virginia's Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy and Wayflowering Flower Farm joins Mary and Eric for a conversation about soil health, regenerative farm design, and organic flower farming. Dr. Mahoney shares how better outcomes, such as health, peace, and tranquility, can be achieved through enriching the soil, enhancing biodiversity, sequestering carbon, strengthening local ecosystems, and supporting pollinator habitats. For Dr. Mahoney, caring for the soil and creating an incredible place for flowers, bees, butterflies, and other pollinators is foundational and inspirational. Please visit https://www.wayflowering.com/ to learn more about cut-your-own flower opportunities and immersive experiences at Wayflowering Flower Farm. For details about the flower farming course and podcast that inspired and influenced Dr. Mahoney's thoughts on farm design and organic no-till flower farming, please visit Floret Flowers and The No-Till Flowers Podcast.    We can all be 4 The Soil, for the future! Here is how with four principles:1) Keep the soil covered -- with living plants and residue. Cover crops are our friends and allies; avoid leaving soil bare.2) Minimize soil disturbance -- Practice no-till or gentle tillage as much as possible in your field or garden.3) Maximize living roots -- for the longest time to improve biodiversity, soil structure, and life in the soil.4) Energize with diversity -- aboveground and belowground with high-quality food for soil and plants, and integration of livestock on cropland. If you are interested in art and framing the 4 The Soil posters for your office or home, the 16” by 20” posters are available for purchase and printing as single posters or a set of five posters.If you have questions about soil and water conservation practices, natural resource concerns, and soil health principles and practices to restore the life in your soil, call or visit a USDA Service Center, a Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District office, or your local Virginia Cooperative Extension office.  4 the Soil: A Conversation is made possible with funding support from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and The Agua Fund.

In this episode of The $100M Entrepreneur Podcast, Brad shows you how to build a strategic plan that can actually take your business to one hundred million. He explains why most owners fail before they even start. Their goals are too small, too safe, and not nearly bold enough to create real change. Brad shares how setting crazy goals early in his life pushed him to learn faster, think bigger, and take action long before he felt ready.He then breaks down the core planning elements you need. A three to five year target that creates urgency, 90 day sprints that keep everyone accountable, and leading indicators that show whether you are on track long before profit appears. Brad also covers OKRs, planning rhythm, and why your systems and leadership must evolve as you scale.If you are ready to stop playing small and build a plan that forces growth, this episode gives you the clarity and structure to start your journey to one hundred million.About Brad SugarsInternationally known as one of the most influential entrepreneurs, Brad Sugars is a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and the #1 business coach in the world.

The reality is that 80% of handwritten notes will get thrown away. The remaining 20% will quietly love them, save them, cherish them , or reciprocate by responding back. This applies to customers, spouses, kids, grandkids and friends. I would much rather put a smile on the 20% audience who appreciates receiving a heartfelt message. What about you? We invite you to go a little “old school” by exploring the magic of handwritten notes.Support the show

You dig into the little things macOS quietly does for you, starting with the surprising truth about Clipboard History and why macOS 26 might feel slower than you’d expect. You explore ways to rein things in, from taming runaway apps to making better use of iPhone Mirroring and clever video capture tricks. Along the way, you're reminded that old hardware still has value if you give it purpose, and that blind trust in AI troubleshooting can lead you astray faster than it helps. This is where staying curious beats staying complacent, and where “Don't Get Caught” is more than a catchphrase. Then you move into the real-world problem solving that defines Mac Geek Gab: networking quirks that break expectations, WiFi settings that ignore reservations, and router updates that change the rules midstream. You also get clear, practical guidance on buying the right Mac, migrating only what you actually need, hunting down duplicate files, and reclaiming menu bar space from the notch. Even photo libraries get a reality check, helping you decide what truly needs to live inside Photos. It's a fast-moving episode packed with answers you can use immediately, designed to keep your setup efficient, intentional, and frustration-free. 00:00:00 Mac Geek Gab 1121 for Monday, December 22nd, 2025 December 22nd: International Day of Mathematics MGG Monthly Giveaway – Enter to win a copy of OpenIn!

Send us a textEver build something truly game-changing… only to watch your audience go glassy-eyed the moment you demo it? In this episode, Mike and Blaine break down The Innovator's Trap—that painful gap between building something brilliant and actually getting people to understand (and buy) it. We dig into why powerful features confuse prospects, how founders accidentally over-explain themselves into oblivion, and the psychology behind why customers don't “get it” even when the value is obvious to you. From AI tools to cash flow platforms to startup war stories, we explore the real reasons innovation lands with a thud instead of a round of applause—and how to communicate your product in a way that actually creates demand. If you've ever delivered a demo, watched enthusiasm evaporate, and thought “Oh no… I've made a mistake,” this episode will feel uncomfortably relatable.#innovation #founders #startups #productmarketing #salesstrategyVisit mikeandblaine.com to buy us a beer!Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/q5lqjFlK8DABuy us a beer and keep the show rolling at mikeandblaine.com!Featured Beer: @ResidentCultureMike: Neighbour Pat's “Brown Mild”Blaine: Resident Culture “Turnstyle” IPAThanks to our Beer Sponsors: • Rachel Barnett from Gentle Frog: youtube.com/@GentleFrog • Karen Hairston from 3S Smart Consulting: 3ssmartconsulting.com• Larry Weinstein, the Cash Flow Cowboy in Houston Texas!• Neighbor Pat• DevinListen to all our episodes at mikeandblaine.comcashflowmike.comdryrun.comSupport the showCatch more episodes, see our sponsors and get in touch at https://mikeandblaine.com/

I'm Leaving Miami

Fred and Sherrod were top-tier corporate sales performers pulling in six-figure salaries before they realized that the local "dirty" businesses—like junk haulers and carpet cleaners—were actually out-earning them while enjoying significantly more freedom. Tired of the "gilded cage" of corporate America, this US Army veteran duo walked away from their Fortune 500 careers to build Accelerated Waste Solutions. Today, they've turned a borrowed pickup truck into a national system that generates $1 million a month with a staggering 60% gross profit margin.In this episode, Fred and Sherrod join Ryan Atkinson to break down their recession-proof playbook for building a high-margin service business. They dive deep into why they prioritize B2B contracts over B2C, explaining the strategic shift from "renting" customers to "owning" them through recurring revenue. You'll learn the mathematical secrets behind their "Bigger Trucks, Better Pricing" competitive advantage and how they used a patented junk removal app to bring transparency and technology to the waste management industry.From leveraging relationships at the local Chamber of Commerce to the conviction required to turn down a $5 million acquisition offer, Fred and Sherrod share the grit and systems needed to scale a successful franchise. Whether you're interested in business acquisition, startup advice for service-based businesses, or transitioning from sales to CEO, this interview provides the roadmap to financial independence. Stay tuned for their "fan blitz" where they reveal the essential tools—like the humble dolly and scoop shovel—that save their teams hours of labor every single weekTakeaways:- The realization that local service providers often out-earn six-figure corporate employees can be the ultimate catalyst for leaving the corporate ladder.- Focusing on B2B contracts with apartment complexes allows a business to "own" a customer through recurring revenue rather than "renting" them for one-time residential events.- Successful business opportunities often stem from solving personal daily frustrations, such as the inconvenience of transporting trash across a large residential property.- Maintaining a 60% gross profit margin is achievable by using larger trucks and precise mathematical volume calculations to offer the most competitive price per cubic yard.- Integrating patented technology like photo-based reporting creates a transparency "trust factor" that differentiates a service business from competitors who use bait-and-switch pricing.- Prioritizing community relationships and joining local chambers of commerce is often more effective for long-term growth than immediate, unguided prospecting.- Entrepreneurs must identify their "Achilles' heels" early on and utilize resources like AI or specialized sales training to offset their personal skill gaps.- Investing in simple but essential equipment like heavy-duty dollies and scoop shovels prevents unprofessionalism and saves hours of physical labor on the job site.- Maximizing daily efficiency requires a purposeful routing plan for both service calls and prospecting before even leaving the house in the morning.- Having a clear vision and a "why" beyond just money provides the conviction necessary to turn down premature multi-million dollar acquisition offers in favor of long-term scaling.Tags: Side Hustle, Entrepreneurship, B2B, Business Mindset, Startup, Customer Retention, Junk Hauling Resources:Grow your business today:  https://links.upflip.com/the-business-startup-and-growth-blueprint-podcast Connect with Fred and Sherrod:https://www.instagram.com/awsfranchise/?hl=en
