What happens when contractors mix too many guru strategies? In this powerful episode of the HVAC Hustle Podcast, host Tim Brown sits down with Julian Scadden, President of Nexstar Network, to expose the real dangers of fragmented growth strategies in the home services industry.

Julian shares his raw story—from cleaning dive bars to owning a successful HVAC company, to now leading a billion-dollar contractor network. He unpacks:

• How to vet online advice and coaching programs
• The truth behind ‘shiny object syndrome’ and tech distractions
• Why every business needs a clear exit strategy and best practice group
• The emotional toll of leadership (and how to lead with clarity)

If you’re building a legacy HVAC, plumbing, or home service business, this episode is your reality check and roadmap.
