(#16) Tommy Hunter: The Origin Of Instagram's Window Washing Rockstar


Listen Later

In this episode we'll meet a man who I became aware via his wife's LinkedIn post that hit a nerve. It prompted more than 400 comments because it told the story of an entrepreneur who built a window washing business by putting himself out there. But it also spoke to how hurtful people can be with thoughtless comments. 

Now I’d never met Tommy Hunter, but after that post, I wanted to learn more about him, so I followed his Instagram account and discovered something I’d never seen before -- and that is the art of window washing.

So let’s meet the man who created a business (@hunterwindowwash) that’s earned over 10,000 fans … and then let’s discover who helped him most along the way.
