What does a young kid from Wisconsin, and a Phoenix, Arizona business mogul have in common? Even more, what are their collective ties to the small town of Maricopa? Tune in to find out, as we interview Justin Knapp of 1st Glass Window Cleaners; who shares with us how he got his start in business, the different pitfalls and victories he's experienced along the way, and the wisdom he's gained from some very influential people in his life that have helped guide him in his journey.

Keep going, keep pushing, and keep tripping YOUR way to the top!

Owning and running a business as a couple is not for the faint of heart.

In this Episode of "Tripping Our Way To The Top" Jeremy Waters and JulieRae Applegath join us to discuss the ups and downs of their business and relationship.

They share incredible advice on how to keep business and romance separate. We learn why investing in yourself and surrounding yourself with the right people is so important and we hear how they began in love and business. One thing for sure is, it's not all rainbows and butterflies, but it is worth it!

Enjoy this fun conversation and let it accompany you on your journey of tripping YOUR way to the top!

Isaac & Stephanie Jackson, also known as "The Carpet Couple", welcome you to...

TRIPPING OUR WAY TO THE TOP!

In this Episode you get to hear our personal come up story. How did a retail store Team Lead, and a Stay at Home Mom become an incredible business power couple - and more importantly... why does it matter to you?

Our story has it all: corporate lay offs, a multi-level marketing business, past due bills, no electricity, and more. We had no home to call our own, little money, no clear career path, and little hope for the future, when Isaac was suddenly bit by the entrepreneurial bug, and decided that things needed to change. In May of 2019, we bought our first business, and by March of 2022, acquired our second, and became first time homebuyers! In the midst of all that change and excitement, we learned one VERY important lesson: that the pathway to success isn't always as glamorous and linear as it appears on the outside.

Our story, like many others, has a lot of failures, a lot of slips, and many trips, and a lot of falling flat on our faces: but it also includes a lot of miracles, stories of community building and support, as well as personal and profession victories! Stay tuned for more episodes as we collect these stories from other business owners to encourage you to keep working, keep pushing, and keep tripping YOUR way to the top!
