      • EP.10 Cali Expert Syndicate !!

        We have a really great collection of Restoration Experts on this week's episode. 


        I was joined by 3 of California's FINEST.

        Adam Redhead. Owner of Restoration Hero's @restorationheroes

        Stewart Barrios-Project Manager with Allied Restoration @alliedrestoration


        We discussed things from the importance of Client On-Boarding, one's ability to take constructive criticism, and then closing out in the choice of the State of Texas lifting the requirement for mold remediation in response to the Texas Freeze Event.


        Great guys and incredible insights.

        This week we finally had a long-overdue call with some very good friends and colleagues that I have watched create business-changing results for many restoration specialists.

      • EP 8 PLEASE....Don't Mess with TEXAS
        Texas and some surrounding states have encountered a completely disastrous and unprecedented event.
        States that are not prepared or accustomed to sub-freezing temperatures for more than a day or two dipped into single digits and below for days during Winter Storm Uri.
        The disastrous thing is it impacted all major cities and caused plumbing failures from frozen and burst pipes.
        Loss of power and potable water for days caused most businesses and resources to be halted.
        The result is what is being predicted to financially, the LARGEST single event in US history. This means surpassing Katrina in 2005.
        This volume creates a supply issue with the right contractors to handle the right sequence of mitigation.
        Russ Wilson with Suncoast Claims is a very highly respected firm of Public Adjusters with a reputation for protecting the insured.
        Today we discuss the terrible potential of the anxious contractors to grab work and get projects contracted to skip the importance of proper drying and dehumidification.
        We discuss ways we would see GC's and Water Mitigation Specialists form partnerships.
        Being a Co-Founder of The Alliance of Independent Restorers, we have a huge opportunity to make those introductions and help be a liaison for these parties to get the homeowners and business back into what would be considered a normal mode.
        We need to act swiftly to avoid the shrinking window of severe mold colonization.
        Enjoy and please share with your colleagues and across your social media channels.

      • EP. 7 55% is a speed limit, not a success rate !!

        We have a really good one this week. If you are in the contracting world, it's likely you have heard of Steve Patrick. Among his many teaching platforms, he is the co-founder of Level the Playing Field on Facebook. Over 13k members and growing. 


        Steve shared some time with me today (58 minutes-our longest podcast to date) to go over some topics on professionalism, the truth on business ownership and Overhead and Profit understanding.


        Spend some time on your next car ride and I think you will enjoy the conversation. 


        PS. I dropped this early so you could get the information SOONER. Nice guy, right?
