From its humble beginnings, Joshua Tree has distinguished itself from the competition with a strong focus on training and professionalism.

    Every Business Has a Story The idea of being able to climb trees for a living sounded like a dream job, but starting his own business by the age of 30 was still daunting. Joshua grew the business slowly and steadily, implementing the right systems and processes for tree pruning, removal, plant health care, and other services. This systematic approach has made Joshua Tree Experts what it is today: a thriving organization with happy team members and thousands of satisfied customers.

  • House Doctors CEO Jim Hunter on Franchise Interviews

    Franchise Interviews meets with very special guest Jim Hunter, president and CEO of House Doctors Their website mentions that a House Doctors handyman franchise is an exciting franchise opportunity. The Home Repair and Handyman industry in North America is growing significantly due to the increase in home ownership and the aging housing stock.

     
     Combine this with changes in the demographics of our society, the "Baby Boomers" nearing retirement age, "Dual-Income Families" struggling with time restraints, and many professionals who do not have the necessary skills to do their own home repairs or handyman work, and you soon realize that we are now part of the growing "do it for me" society. Despite all of this, the industry is still fragmented. Customers have challenges finding a professional handyman to do the small but important jobs around their home.  Click the link below to listen to the podcast.

  • Lessons with Kip Leming, Bassist of Riot's Classic Lineup

    Rock Star MBA: From One Traffic Light to the World Stage – Lessons with Kip Leming, Bassist of Riot's Classic Lineup

    Welcome to the inaugural episode of Rock Star MBA! I'm your host, Martin McDermott, author of the upcoming book, Rock Star MBA: 77 Untapped Lessons on Life, Business, Marketing, Entrepreneurship, & Leadership From Rock Stars.

    This podcast explores the surprising truth: art and business aren't opposites, but powerful partners in understanding creativity, value, and human connection. We'll challenge you to see the world differently, drawing inspiration and actionable insights from the lives of rock stars and artists.

    For our very first episode, I wanted to go big. As a 16-year-old, I was blown away by the band Riot, especially the powerful bass lines on albums like Born in America, Restless Breed, and Fire Down Under. To me, the bass player is the unsung hero of any band.

    That's why I reached out to Kip Leming, the legendary bass player from Riot's classic lineup—and he graciously called me back! As I discuss in my book, often the bigger the rock star, the nicer the person, and Kip was no exception.

    Join us as we dive into a conversation with Kip Leming, where you'll discover:

    • From one traffic light to world stages: How a small-town New Jersey kid honed his skills on dirt roads to become the powerhouse bassist for the legendary rock band Riot.
    • The surprising secret to a gig every night: Kip reveals the unexpected advantage of being a bass player in a town full of guitarists and drummers.
    • "What can you do? I'm the bass player!" Hear the hilarious and pivotal moment on a school bus that launched Kip Leming's lifelong journey into music.
