So I Was In This House Podcast: Service and Sales Tales

Kathryn Elizabeth is dedicated to creating pathways to prosperity for anyone willing to work hard in the trades. Recognizing the critical labor shortage in fields like HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work, Kathryn is committed to bridging workforce gaps, especially for underrepresented groups. She’s part of the 3% of women in the American home service  industry and a champion for inclusivity, striving to break down barriers for immigrants, women, and those with criminal records. Kathryn is focused on building enterprise-level business systems that ensure the sustainability of these vital industries.  She currently leads a team of high performers, capturing value with the highest average tickets in the industry, average technician's salaries exceeding $100,000 USD, and nine figure valuation growth in just twelve months.  Kathryn’s mission is clear: to promote the trades as a thriving, inclusive, and enduring pillar of the world’s economy.

Helmi Ben Flah… you’ve never met anyone quite like him… trust me. Great conversation with co-host John Vazquez. This is seriously one of my favorite conversations. Helmi moved to the U.S. and started out bussing tables before transitioning into the home service industry. He had the privilege of learning from industry leaders like George Brazil in Arizona and the team at Gold Medal like @agugliaromike. Seven years ago, he took a leap and started his own plumbing, electrical, and HVAC company. Today, he’s grateful to lead an exceptional team dedicated to serving his customers. His passion lies in helping his co-workers achieve their financial and technical goals through motivation and training.
