Season 2: Episode 0 :

This episode represented a pre-launch test of our new format. Lot's of moving parts and it was good to do a live BETA. Our first official LIVE ALL IN EPISODE.

➡️ We spent time sharing some videos and time paying tribute to Nick Paolella. The founder of JonDon. Nick suddenly lost his long, colorful ad wonderful life last week.

We were so fortunate to have Andy Robinson with JonDon to call in and help put into words how much he meant to the industry, to JonDon and the 100's that worked there.

We shared stories and painted some background pictures.

Jennifer Sterling with Jennifer Sterling Insurance in California called in and gave us a hilarious story about one occasion at The Gaylord in Dallas Texas.

If we had 30 hours, we could probably not run out of great stories.

Nick, you are missed and we celebrate you.

➡️ We discussed a process we coach on and one that I have used in my entire career. Post Project Evaluations.

Its a practice of analysis of projects to find out mistakes, learning opportunities, and improvements to be made to continue to be the best.

Our template and more conversations about this are available for those that are registered in our NEW ONLINE COMMUNITY. Free to join for contractors. Go get your copy and everything else we are loading up in there.

➡️ Our last business was simply testing some systems and announcing our guest for next week. We look forward to you tuning in.

We finish up our inaugural season with EP 25 talking about a restoration project at a power plant that caught fire in a small town in MN. 

One of the guys on the job was a brilliant guy... that was a little slow sometimes. He didn't realize that Walleye fish had fingers. You have to listen to EP 25 to figure out (in the words of Paul Harvey)... The Rest Of the Story.

We wouldn't be able to put together this podcast without the help of Kevin Dooley and his folks at Kahi.

Our new e-course: "45 days to build a STRONG restoration business"

Happy New Year everyone! 

https://www.restorationadvisers.com/

We took a discussion in one of the industry Facebook groups and unpacked it a little. It was about billing clients (insured) directly, and not negotiating with adjusters and/or carriers.

We spiced things up a little bit and had live call-ins from folks that had some thoughts on the subject. Just like old-school talk shows! We had so much fun!

EP23 was with Kevin @ Kahi.

We take a few minutes to learn more about Kevin Dooley with Kahi. We've talked about Kahi for several weeks now, and we thought it would be fun to bring the mind behind Kahi onto the podcast to discuss his roots, his experience, and the reason for his pursuit of technology within the restoration industry!

Today we talk about the subject that is often overlooked. Markup and Margin. Knowing your numbers. This is about as critical a business topic as you can think. 

The restoration industry is plagued by this idea that restoration companies are just being greedy when they bill for O&P (Overhead and Profit). That is usually driven by the opposing party, the carrier. We are here to tell you that it is absolutely essential for the health and wellbeing of your company. You MUST cover your O&P if you expect to build a business that you can accomplish your goals with. 

We highlight a book called Markup and Profit (A Contractors Guide) by Micheal Stone. Get the book here. It will change the way you look at your business! 

We also chat about some other books that are front of mind for us this week. Toby talks about The Power of Who by Bob Beaudine. Klarks love for music drove him to get the book by the infamous David Grohl titled The Storyteller - Tales of Life and Music. Both have takeaways that you can implement TODAY. Check them out! 

Thanks to our sponsor Kahi. Kahi provides an incredible service of hardware and software that help you and your team make more profit by tracking and maximizing the use of your assets. This automated system has some incredibly efficient and powerful tools for your equipment, fleet, and even personnel. 

As part of the O&P conversation and some of the talking points from the book Markup and Profit, the conversation obviously ties in Xactimate. We did a mini-course titled “The Truth about Xactimate”. Everyone needs to see what this course uncovers that is hiding in plain sight. We provide some resources within the course that you can provide to adjusters that will help you get your overhead and profit justified. Follow this link for that workshop Truth about Xactimate Pricing 

We also have a robust Document Packet that will help you with properly onboarding your client, documenting your work, providing your client and workers with a safe working environment, and so much more. https://www.restorationadvisers.com/restoration_documents 

We hope these assets and training help. If you are looking to make running your restoration company simpler, better, and more profitable, contact us for a call to learn more about what your goals are!
