Eric Sprague and Larry Wilberton have owned a restoration company, sold a restoration company, built a company (Morning Tech Meeting) based on quick training for restoration teams, taught companies how to create healthy company cultures where people want to work for them, and are hosts of the popular Blue Collar Nation Podcast.

Eric and Larry sat down for a casual conversation on the Restoration Today Podcast during the Violand Business Planning Retreat in mid-November. The hilarious and authentic duo shared stories from their days of business ownership, travel adventures (including missed flights and rogue luggage), and enough laughs for 50 podcasts.

They also shared what they learned were the keys to successfully engaging with and retaining their technicians and other employees.

Watch or listen, learn, and laugh.
