Episode 79: “We’ve Got to Grow Quick”: When Growth Is Necessary for Survival


Listen Later

When you learn that your child will have many medical needs before he is born, you have to grow your business fast.


Marriages with a special needs child are 70% likely to fail, and marriages with a co-owned business are 50% likely to fail.


But today’s guests, Richard and Felicia Flourny, Owners at A-Total Plumbing, have not only survived but thrived, growing their solo business to 32 employees and recently undertaking a complete business model shift.


Join us as we discuss:

- The origin story of A-Total Plumbing

- Role distribution between Richard and Felicia

- Switching from home warranty to a retail business model

- Why the Flournys are hiring a Dream Manager

- Customer service insights to 4.8 stars across over 1K Google reviews
