Most electricians write off cheap leads. Dorian Hayes turned one into $66,000.

In this episode, we break down exactly how Hayes Electrical used trust, process, and a six-option service strategy to transform a $24 Angi lead into a $66K whole-home upgrade all in under 30 days!

But it didn’t stop there. You’ll hear how Dorian:
- Trained his installers to upsell without selling
- Got 115 leads from his first Facebook ad
- Built a high-performing team from one organic Facebook post
- Replaced pressure with process, and burnout with mission

If you’ve ever said “lead aggregators suck,” or “my team won’t upsell,” this episode will shift everything! This is leadership in action.

This is what happens when process meets purpose!

This is the real kickoff. Just Joe and Clay stripped of pretense, reflecting on what it really takes to succeed in this trade, in this business… and in life. From the redemptive force of Star Wars to the raw truth about fear, belief, and bold action, this episode unpacks how electricians get stuck and how some are breaking records in their 5th month.

This one is for the electrician who’s felt like maybe he’s not cut out for this.
Who’s one punch away from giving up.
Who’s tired of waiting to feel "ready."

We’re telling the truth, giving it all away, and holding nothing back.

💡What You’ll Learn:
- Why fear is not your enemy, it's your weapon
- How one electrician hit $105K in his 5th month in business
- The mental framework that separates winners from wanderers
- The power of full belief (even before the first win)
- Why we're giving the roadmap away… again

10 years in the trade. Still not certified. Not because of skills but because of fear.

In this episode, we sit down with Ruben Young, Host of The Young Electrician Podcast, to unpack why thousands of electricians delay getting certified and how that fear is costing them everything from income to confidence.

Raised on the streets of LA, Ruben didn’t get certified until year 10. Not because he lacked skill, but because of one thing most electricians don’t talk about: Confidence.

This isn’t just a tips and tricks episode. It’s a real-deal story of fighting through limiting beliefs, addiction, jail time, and coming out on the other side to help others escape the same mental traps. Ruben’s now helping electricians walk out of fear and into their certification with confidence by walking with them.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

• Why so many 10+ year electricians still aren’t certified (and what that’s really costing them)
• How to study without overwhelm (and how 15 minutes can change your future)
• The one habit that fixes your life more than any study guide
• Why discipline in one area of life always leaks into the rest

Whether you're 2 years in or 20, if you’ve ever said “I’ll get to it later,” this episode is for you!
