This week on To The Point Home Services Podcast, Chris is joined by the full LSD crew (minus Hoffmann, who bailed!) for an unfiltered, high-energy conversation about business, personal growth, and what’s next in the trades.

From hunting trips to industry conferences, the guys cover everything from the future of the market, AI’s role in profitability, and whether door knocking can really work in HVAC and other home services.
