Bryan and Jon segue from discussing the Walmart meat truck from Tiger King to Joe Exotic's idea to open a pizza spot on the tiger farm...would you like the all meat special?  

* Where do you go when you are looking for a good burger?  

* Is In & Out the best chain burger restaurant?  

* How about local pizza or sandwich shops?   

Bryan recaps a lesson he learned, from listening to The DYOJO Podcast Episode #3 with Ed Cross “The Restoration Lawyer", about proper wiping for clean up services. Jon shares a disgusting story of cleaning up blood from a burst varicose vein.  The duo discusses horror stories with customers and the statement, “The best time to fire a client is before the job starts,” as mentioned in The DYOJO podcast Episode 7 with Amy Siedlecki.  

* Knowing who you DON’T want to work with/for is as important as who you do - agree/disagree. 

* How do you “screen” clients to determine if you want to work with/for them?  

* Do you have a consistent intake process?   

During Pro vs. Joe the two hosts bring their diverse experiences to this show for your listening pleasure, providing an industry education from two unique perspectives - the Joe who is just getting started with insurance repairs and the Pro who has been at it for some time.  "The Joe" Bryan Close has been in construction, business development and property management for many years but is new to the process of working within the insurance claims paradigm. Listeners who are new to property restoration will have the opportunity to learn the nuance of the industry with Bryan while veterans of the trades will find it refreshing to experience Bryan's excitement for this new opportunity.   "The Pro" Jon Isaacson, is known as "The Intentional Restorer" and many will recognize him from his interviews with Michelle Blevins of Restoration & Remediation Magazine (R&R) as well as Episode 5 of The GMS Podcast with Gerret Stier, The Claim Clinic and Blue Collar Nation Podcast. Jon has been working in property restoration for over 18 years, which is a while to some and just getting started compared to many others.
