About Head Heart & Boots
If you build it, fix it, or maintain it, the Head Heart & Boots podcast is for you. Restoration, roofing, HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, and every blue-collar trade in between. If you own a service business and you have ever felt the weight of leading it, this show is for you. Hosts Brandon Reece and Chris Nordyke built and scaled real companies in the restoration industry, and they have carried those hard-won lessons into every blue-collar trade they work with today. This is not theory from the sidelines. It is perspective from people who have carried the payroll, made the hard calls, and lived the highs and lows of ownership. Every week they sit down with owners, operators, and guests worth learning from to dig into the head (strategy and leadership), the heart (culture and people), and the boots (execution on the ground). This show is the front door to Floodlight Consulting Group, where Brandon, Chris, and the team help trades businesses find the money already sitting inside them and build companies worth far more than the day they started. Same people, same mission, whether you are listening or working with us directly. Ready to see what that could look like in your business? Start here: https://www.floodlightgrp.com Owning a business in the trades can be the loneliest job there is. Head, Heart, & Boots exists to change that, because the best leaders don't go it alone, and neither should you.

Published 6 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] And I found that people are willing to pay more for that predictability of understanding that they're going to understand exactly what they're going to get And then they're going to understand that they're going to have an exceptional service experience as they're getting there. And you're helping them visualize that dream or that thing that they're investing into. Yeah, full renderings. So now we have 10 team members who are a part of our team, soon to be 11. Two designers, myself in sales, general manager who does the estimation, and overall production management. and then a person full-time in marketing, another who is full-time bookkeeping, and then an admin.
