  • Business & Culture | Recruiting Early, Reading P&Ls, and Leading Better Teams - Turf's Up Radio. Episode 441
    Jan 27 2026

    Hey there, Home Service Homies!

    In this episode, we dive into what it really looks like to run and scale a service business when the numbers start to matter more. I’m walking you through how I look at a real P&L, why a million dollars can feel harder than you expect, and how cost of goods, pricing, and training all collide. If you want to stop guessing and start making decisions with confidence, this one is for you.

    We also get deep into recruiting early, building a bench, and why your worst employee sets the ceiling for your business. I talk about culture, core values, appreciation, and why investing in your people is not optional if you want long term growth. This episode is about building a business that supports your life, takes care of your team, and actually works when things get hard.

    Jan 20 2026

    Hey there, Home Service Homies!

    In this episode, we dive into why January is the best time to recruit and how supply and demand works in your favor right now. I’m walking you through how to build a bench of A players before you actually need them, so you stop panic hiring when spring hits. If you run a seasonal home service business, this is how you protect your growth and your sanity.

    We also get into real stories from the trenches, including what happens when you hire the wrong people and what it looks like when employees go off the rails. I’m talking about training, culture, and why a great employee experience still needs real expectations and real systems. If you want a stronger team this year, start recruiting now and stay consistent.
