He was so proud.Blind hog also had to clean out varmint nests in the Tracker's engine and glove box... Always something...

In this episode of Secrets of the Underworld, we revisit Kurt Rigger's story. Kurt is a Plumber who runs his own business. But after chasing payments from a client for months, he made a poor decision that sent him to prison. The only thing is, his family had no idea where he went.
TJ Romans didn't just sell $800,000 in plumbing work last year—he installed it, too. That kind of performance doesn't come from pressure tactics or slick sales lines. It comes from trust, education, and a clear process that empowers homeowners to say yes with confidence. In this episode, TJ breaks down exactly how he earns that trust—and consistently turns routine calls into big-ticket installs. You'll learn how he: Sold and installed $800K in plumbing by keeping it simple and putting the homeowner first Navigates high-risk stoppage calls with a single sentence that protects both him and the company Uses inspections as an educational moment—not a scare tactic—and builds options around what homeowners care about Handles objections with empathy, especially on calls involving remodeled bathrooms or builder-grade fixtures Structures his calls by focusing first on what the customer noticed—then smoothly introduces additional value Builds urgency the right way—backed by visuals, facts, and clear explanations Avoids chasing every potential upgrade and instead controls the call with purpose TJ also shares how he mentally resets after tough calls, stays consistent with his approach, and trains newer techs to focus on the long game—not the quick close. This isn't a high-pressure sales training—it's a real conversation with a high-performing technician who genuinely wants to help people. And that mindset? It sells. If you're in plumbing sales—or manage people who are—this is the kind of episode that can change your approach for the better.
Want more leads and loyalty without wasting ad dollars? Start here. In this episode of Around the Campfire, Katie Donovan sits down with Jason Price, Director of Marketing at My Plumber Plus, to explore how AI and community-driven marketing are transforming growth for home service businesses. Jason breaks down how to think differently about brand, where AI fits in (and where it doesn't), and why building a community outside the job creates loyalty that marketing dollars can't buy. If you're in HVAC, plumbing, or electrical and looking for fresh strategies that actually drive growth, this one's packed with takeaways you can act on right now.

The best brands feel human, even when powered by automation. Community involvement creates loyalty and word-of-mouth that paid ads can't touch. Customers don't just want service—they want a relationship with a brand they trust. Marketing in 2025 means blending tech and trust. One without the other won't scale.

Send us a textWhat happens when you finally achieve the financial success you've been chasing—only to realize you've lost everything else that matters? Jared Williams, host of The Jared Williams Show and founder of multiple successful plumbing businesses, takes us through his raw, revealing journey of entrepreneurial trial and error.Jared's story begins like many tradespeople—believing that running a business meant simply charging less than the competition and working harder. After several false starts and business ventures that left him working more hours for less money, he made a counterintuitive discovery that transformed his approach: dramatically increasing his rates. The results were stunning; customers not only paid his premium prices but thanked him for his reliability and professionalism. Within six months, his business generated $800,000 in revenue.But success came at a steep cost. Jared candidly shares how his single-minded focus on building his company left him physically depleted, with deteriorating relationships and no true freedom. "I figured out how to get the money and then I lost all my freedom, all my relationships, all my health, everything else," he reveals. This wake-up call led him to develop systems for maintaining balance—from strategic time blocking to establishing technology boundaries—while still growing successful businesses.Perhaps most valuable is Jared's insight into the power of human connection in business. Through stories about slaughtering chickens with neighbors and coffee meetings that seemed like time-wasters but led to transformative relationships, he illustrates how "your life will be judged by the quality of your connections." As he works toward his ambitious goal of building a $100 million company, his motivation isn't primarily financial but impact-driven—creating opportunities for employees, family, and future generations.Whether you're a tradesperson considering entrepreneurship or an established business owner struggling with work-life balance, this conversation offers practical wisdom for achieving success without sacrificing everything else that matters.

Send us a textAfter years of chasing external definitions of success, I've completely transformed the Successful Life Podcast to focus on what truly matters: recovery from addiction, freedom from limiting habits, and authentic personal growth. This isn't about how much we can achieve or how much money we make—it's about waking up clear-headed, staying emotionally regulated, and building a life of integrity.My own journey has been marked by struggles with addiction, wearing different masks for different people, and pretending everything was fine when it wasn't. Though I quit drinking nearly 16 years ago, I switched to cannabis until March 2023. Today, two years fully sober, I've discovered practices that genuinely move the needle in my life: rising at 3:45 am when my brain functions optimally, daily gym sessions, ice baths that reset my nervous system, and a carnivore diet that's dramatically improved my mental clarity and physical health.The carnivore approach—eating only meat, eggs, and cheese—has transformed my energy, eliminated my need for ADHD medication, and helped me shed 12 pounds to reach 8% body fat. But the physical benefits pale compared to the mental clarity and emotional stability I've gained. When combined with recovery principles and consistent self-discipline, this lifestyle has allowed me to show up authentically for myself, my family, and my team at work.If you're struggling with addiction, poor habits, or feeling lost, know that transformation is possible. As they say in recovery, "You don't walk ten miles into the woods and get out in two"—healing takes time, but it begins with a single step today. Join me weekly as we explore what truly creates a successful life with upcoming guests including bodybuilder Tony Freeman and Jared the Plumber.

In this episode of Impact Without Limits, the Karmie brothers continue their Business Stages series with the ‘Running Man' Stage.A "Running Man" is typically a one-person operation where the business is synonymous with the owner's name, like “Joe the Plumber” or “Mary the Landscaper.” Though they might have helpers or part-time assistance, the business only functions when that owner is actively working. They often trade time for money, hold tight to their earnings, and avoid investing in scalable growth. This model allows for control, flexibility, and even high income, but it can also lead to exhaustion, burnout, and limited growth. Dale and Brian reflect on their own experience in this stage and share how many businesses — an estimated 85%, according to their unofficial-but-usually-accurate numbers — get stuck here. While there's nothing wrong with being a ‘Running Man', the key takeaway is knowing whether you're there by default or by choice, and being honest about whether it's sustainable for the life and business you want to build.Tune in to hear how to recognize this stage and decide what's next for your business journey.Episode Highlights: What is the ‘Running Man' Stage?Why do so many stay in this stage?How to identify this stage.Potential pitfalls of the ‘Running Man' Stage.Next Level Risk.Links Mentioned in Episode/Find More on ForeverLawn:www.foreverlawn.comImpact Without Limits Instagram: @impact_withoutlimitsForeverLawn's Instagram: @foreverlawnincGet Grass Without Limits HereVisit our show notes page HERESubscribe to Our Newsletter HEREDale's Instagram: @dalekarmieBrian's Instagram: @bkarmieListen to S1 E10: The Baby and The CowThis show has been produced by Adkins Media Co.
