Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I interview Neel Parekh (https://x.com/SMBNeelParekh), the founder and CEO of Maid This, a fully remote cleaning franchise company. From his beginnings in private equity to hiking to the Everest Base Camp, Neel's journey is nothing short of remarkable. He transitioned from tech investing to launching a cleaning business that has now grown to over 25 locations nationwide. Neel's Los Angeles operation alone generates $1.3 million in revenue with impressive margins, thanks to his innovative use of technology and automation.

This episode is packed with insights into scaling a service-based business, the intricacies of franchising, and maintaining a work-life balance. Neel’s adventurous spirit and dedication to creating a business that supports his lifestyle are truly inspiring.
