Adrian Garcia (@reliablehvacr) owns Reliable Kitchen Services in South Texas and hosts the Reliable Trades Podcast. He's seen it all, from starting at the bottom in his dad's company to dealing with hecklers while fixing hospital freezers.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why starting in the trades means starting at the bottom—even when it's your family business

• Why buying that brand new truck will kill your future (and what to do instead)
• How a little effort goes a long way when older techs are gatekeeping

Whether you're thinking about the trades, already in the field, or running a service business, Adrian's got the real talk you need to hear.
