Pay or Get Sued: How I Learned Payroll Law the Hard Way 💸⚖️
You don’t know what you don’t know—until you’re in court. In this episode, Chad Murray shares the gut-wrenching story of how a single payroll mistake triggered a lawsuit that nearly wrecked his business. Learn the legal landmines of paying employees (hourly, salary, commission, and performance pay), the truth about overtime law, and how to avoid getting crushed by labor attorneys.

Whether you're a service business owner or just trying to figure out how to compensate your team without breaking the law (or the bank), this is a must-watch. Learn from Chad’s painful (and expensive) lessons so you don’t end up writing fat checks to former employees and legal fees.

✅ What counts as overtime
 ✅ The truth about commission and performance pay
 ✅ Legal pay structures that protect YOU
 ✅ How to avoid whistleblower retaliation
 ✅ What your attorney won’t tell you unless they specialize in employment law

What happens to your business if you're gone tomorrow?

In this raw and brutally honest episode, Chad Murray shares two moments he nearly died—and the two wildly different outcomes for his business. In 2006, his appendix ruptured… and his business went bankrupt. In 2021, his lungs failed from COVID… but his business hit $100K weeks without him.

This is the tale of building a business that’s dependent on YOU... versus one that runs without you.

💥 The truth is: Most service businesses are one injury, one illness, or one burnout away from total collapse. Chad learned the hard way—and now helps business owners build scalable systems so they never go through what he did.

⚠️ If your business can't operate without you, this video could save your future.

This might be the rawest, realest, and most action-packed sales episode we’ve done in a long time.

Chad Murray sits down with entrepreneur, speaker, and “Call The Damn Leads” founder Drewbie Wilson, who breaks down why most businesses are leaving millions on the table—because they simply don’t pick up the phone.

Price Conditioning to Crush Sticker Shock in Sales | Outside the Business Podcast

In this episode of Outside the Business, I’m giving you a raw, real update on my world—what’s going on with my businesses, why I’m feeling like me again, and how we just had a record week in April that beat all of last year. 💪

We’re diving into the art of price conditioning—a powerful sales tactic that helps eliminate sticker shock and sets your customers up to see the value before they see the price. Whether you’re in chimney services, home improvement, or any high-ticket service business, this one’s for you.

✅ Learn how we 5X’ed our sales in a week
 ✅ Understand how to psychologically prime your customers for big tickets
 ✅ Hear how I trained my team to close better using real value-based sales
 ✅ Get insights on how to structure "better / best / adequate" options
 ✅ Plus a few marketing tips and even a killer deal I found on an Airbnb 😄

About Me
Hey, I'm Chad Murray. I own Masters Services, a multi-million dollar chimney service company based in Dallas, Texas (possibly the largest in the state—still debatable). I'm also a business coach and founder of ChadMurray.biz, where I help service business owners scale past the $1M mark.

I work with businesses between $1M–$5M in revenue who are stuck in the grind—bad employees, zero systems, no time off, and no growth. I teach how to lead, hire, delegate, and make decisions that scale.

If you want to stop the Groundhog Day and get your business moving again, I’m here for you.
