  • 085: This Podcast Is No Longer for Everyone with Paul Maskill
    Jan 5 2026

    Most $3–10M home service businesses don't fail because of effort, marketing, or sales.

    They fail because the numbers are lying.

    Revenue looks strong. The team is busy. But cash is tight, stress is high, and the business feels fragile underneath.

    This episode marks a clear shift in the direction of this podcast.

    Going forward, The Turnaround Boardroom is a boardroom-level conversation about financial pressure, margin breakdowns, cash flow, debt risk, and valuation—inside real $3–10M home service businesses.

    You'll hear:
    • Conversations with owners who are still under financial pressure
    • Stories from operators who nearly lost their business and rebuilt it
    • Insights from lenders, CFOs, and turnaround professionals who see what actually kills deals behind closed doors.

    This is not a motivational podcast. This is not a tactics show. And it's not for everyone.

    If your business looks successful on the outside—but feels tight, stressful, or unclear underneath—this podcast is for you.
