Here we go again. Jon Isaacson of the DYOJO podcast and Gerrett Stier of the GMS Podcast joined Larry and Eric to do their non-sensical yearly holiday show. Packed with useless information, this show never fails to neither educate and nor entertain. Join the lads for an hour of inside jokes, some business talk, and a little bit of serious life advice.
Happy Holidays.

We started up the book club again with Brandon and Chris from Floodlight Consulting as our new partners. We were not sure we would ever start up the book club again after Bill Yeadon retired. However, we could not have chosen better partners to do this monthly show with.
This month Eric picked a pretty tough book with some really deep thought required how to take the lessons from the book and scale them down to a local service business. However, Peter Thiel's Zero to One can reap huge benefits for the company which can take these lessons and tweak them to dominate their market in areas that are underserved and overlooked.

Enjoy.

Homee is different. Homee is a disruptor in the Restoration space. Is what Homee is doing going to spread through all verticals in the home services space? These are the questions we were thinking as we sat down with Brandon, Augie, Jeremy, and Alex of Homee.

It was great to have all the guys on the show as we were able to drill down on each part of the process as each guest plays a different role at Homee and had deep insight to what they are doing in each department.

Although this episode centers around Homee's restoration model, we think the information in today's podcast deserves a serious examination for all aspects within the industry.  Enjoy.
