If you ask John what his company is all about, he would probably say something like - it is based on the goal of quality building and customer service - Both things that many people strive for in their business, but very few succeed at.

As you will hear, he goes about achieving these goals in very calculated ways. He knows his personal worth and the worth of learning from the people who came before him. He is not interested in reinventing the wheel, he's interested in incorporating the knowledge he has gained over the years into running a profitable and long-term company.

So follow along as we talk about what it takes to start your own business, the importance of learning from the older generation, how your pricing model can be improved, and much more.
