- Frank Ruiz from Tucson Tamale. We'll be talking about their summer specials and catering options. - Ricky Williams, plumbing manager with Picture Rocks Cooling Heating and Plumbing. We'll be discussing company culture and serving the public.

This week on the M3 Podcast, we sat down with the owner of Smedley Plumbing for a real conversation about building a business from the ground up. He shared his journey from starting out in the trades to running a trusted local plumbing company.We talked about:

Dean continues an all calls weekend, answering questions about a concrete slab crack, how to fix a wood floor after a nasty water leak, water proofing a shower in an old home. Installing 'privacy glass,' how to prevent cats from congregating on a roof and whether or not you need an engineer to draw up blueprints for a home remodel.

It's an all calls weekend!  Dean tackles listener questions about 'banging' in pipes after a new water heater has been installed, replacing front doors in an older home when a contractor wants to replace it with something cheap and easy, whether or not you should shellack old oak floors, building a firepit in the backyard, whether you can put windows with different color frames in the same home, and whether wood countertops are a real viable option in a kitchen.

Jared Dean isn't winging it — he's a master HVAC sales tactician. With over two decades in the industry, Jared has developed a precise, proven process that earns trust, overcomes objections, and closes premium HVAC systems at a staggering $25K average ticket with a 64% closing percentage.  Jared works just three days a week in the field, serves full-time as a pastor, and still sold $3.5 million last year. In this conversation, he opens up his playbook — step by step.  What you'll walk away with: The first 10 minutes that make or break the sale — Jared's subtle script to uncover decision-makers and secure time commitment without pressure. How to “price-condition” like a pro — Set the stage for high-ticket HVAC sales without triggering objections. The four-option close that boosts average ticket and drives confident, fast decisions. How storytelling + strategic vulnerability generate instant trust (and eliminate hard closing). What to say after they say “yes” — Jared's post-sale move that slashes cancellation rates. The 5-minute habit that separates amateurs from elite sales pros — and accelerates long-term mastery.  Jared proves you don't need to work 60-hour weeks or be a natural-born closer to dominate in residential HVAC sales — you need a system, heart, and the discipline to follow through.  Show Notes The Successful Contractor Podcast is a part of the CertainPath family.  CertainPath builds successful home service businesses—and has for 25 years.  We do it by providing contractors with a proven path to success, professional coaching, software solutions, and a member community of 1,200+ strong.

In this powerful episode of The Successful Contractor, host Bob Houchin sits down with retiring coach, trainer, and mentor Michael Zeller — a man who's impacted thousands of lives through his 40-year career in business, leadership, and service. This isn't just a retrospective. It's a masterclass in life and business. From growing up in a working-class Long Island family to building a body shop, scaling through Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and eventually becoming one of the most beloved coaches at CertainPath, Michael shares the pivotal moments, lessons learned, and wisdom earned through decades of doing the hard work — and helping others do it better. This conversation is filled with emotion, honesty, and insight that every contractor — from business owner to technician — needs to hear. In this episode, you'll learn:·        The values Michael's parents instilled that shaped his lifelong work ethic·        Why he walked away from his own business to take a trainee position — and never looked back·        The power of staying humble and becoming a student, even after success·        What makes a great manager — and why most owners get it wrong·        The true reason great employees leave… and what to do to keep them·        How to coach your team instead of bossing them around·        The “cotton candy” of Michael's career — and what lights him up·        Why your team needs opportunity — and how giving it builds loyalty Michael's story is full of teachable moments, humor, and heart. If you've ever struggled with leadership, building culture, or wondering if you're really making a difference, this episode is for you. It's not just a farewell. It's a roadmap.
