He dives into the rapid three-year growth of his Michigan-based plumbing company, highlighting the crucial shift from relying on new construction to focusing on profitable service work, the power of strategic branding and deep community involvement, and the often-overlooked importance of prioritizing profit and healthy cash flow over vanity metrics like revenue or the number of trucks.
