Welcome to our latest episode!


Want to unlock massive value in home service businesses? Join host Bronson Hill for an insightful conversation with Phil Risher, founder of Phlash Consulting, a digital marketing agency that scales home service companies for private equity exits. Recorded in June 2025, this episode explores Phil’s journey from paying off $30,000 in student loans to running a $3 million Enterprise branch at age 25, then leveraging digital marketing to grow an air duct cleaning company from $3 million to $4 million in revenue in just 10 months. Featured in Forbes, CNBC, and The Wall Street Journal, Phil shares how to boost business valuations by fixing visibility, conversion, and retargeting funnels, why service contracts are key for sticky revenue, and how AI is reshaping home services with search and automated processes.


Whether you’re an investor eyeing plumbing or HVAC rollups or an entrepreneur seeking growth, Phil’s strategies for consolidating businesses and securing 10-12x earnings multiples will inspire you to think bigger.
