I first witnessed our guest's energy while onstage at a recent conference. He was dynamic, confident, engaging, and the kind of person you can tell at first glance: He’s been through some stuff.
Justin refers to himself as a ‘sales savage’ who had taken companies from zero to 1 billion in three years. Wow! He’s vice president of sales and partnerships at CHIIRP, a communication and marketing automation software company in Provo, Utah.
In today’s episode, we dive deep to explore 'The Human Design' and what it takes to change when facing a painful past.
The Human Design is also the name of Justin's coaching/mentoring business he founded in 2020.

Today I continue my discussion with Oly Olsen, my friend and former business partner. We discuss Oly's determination to be the best of the best as he leaned into the plumbing trade.

Today I interview longtime friend and business partner Oly Olsen in a series we titled 'I'm in Your Corner'. Oly's story is one of overcoming alcohol and drug addiction at a young age, accepting that academia was not in his future, deciding to become the best plumber that ever lived, and eventually becoming a partner in a multi-million dollar home service enterprise, CPI Plumbing and Heating.
This interview is an emotionally raw and often entertaining ride that I know you'll enjoy.

Part Two of To Hell and Back begins with Ed O'Connell's recovery from alcohol addiction and embracing help from others. He reaches out to the Service Round Table community to help him climb out of debt in his plumbing business (a whopping 250K). He meets his wife, Rebecca, who becomes indispensable in the success that O'Connell Plumbing becomes.
When I first met Ed, the connection was instant. And it was just because both of us owned successful plumbing companies at the time, our bond went much deeper. We both had a history of alcoholism that almost killed us. Ed's story is definitely more extreme. It includes homelessness, drug dealing, and service in Vietnam. Our session covers a before and after story of sobriety and the immeasurable personal and professional success that followed. What you'll hear today in Part One of Ed's journey To Hell and Back. It is Ed's version of a living hell: Alcohol addiction.
Ed O'Connell has been a mentor to many in the trades. In fact, he's won a number of awards including two for his mentorship to Service Nation Advisory Boards. He writes articles for Contractor Magazine. Before Ed sold O'Connell Plumbing, he was named Service Round Table's Contributor of the Year.
Community and giving back are of utmost importance to Ed. Make sure you stay tuned for Episode Two where Ed shares his love for his community and the transformation he experienced along with sobriety.
