   Back in the Weeds | Leadership, Coaching, and Tax Talk for Home Service Pros - Turf's Up Radio. Episode 421

   Hey there, Home Service Homies! In this episode, we dive into what it really means to get back in the weeds of your business. We're sharing the lessons that come with firing, rehiring, and rolling up your sleeves to reconnect with the work your team does every day. We talk leadership, accountability, and why sometimes the best move for a business owner is to jump back on the truck. Then we get into the money side — taxes, bookkeeping, and financial planning before the year ends. We break down how to know if you’ve got the right people handling your numbers and why “buying stuff to save on taxes” is a trap. Grab your drink, kick back, and let’s dig into what really drives smarter business growth.

   Life and Business | Curt Kempton on Finding Purpose Beyond Work and Technology - Late Night Happy Hour. Episode 420

   Hey there, Home Service Homies! In this episode, we dive into what it really means to live with purpose in a world full of noise, tech, and distractions. Curt Kempton joins me for a long talk about family, faith, and what business ownership looks like when you stop chasing and start enjoying. We go deep on ego, joy, and learning how to let go of control to make space for what actually matters. We’re also talking about AI, community, and the need to get back outside to reconnect with ourselves and each other. From hunting stories to “nothing boxes,” this one’s packed with laughs, honesty, and perspective. Grab your drink, settle in, and hang out with us as we figure out what it really means to work smarter, live better, and have a little more fun along the way.

   Unpopular Truths | Stop Abdicating Ops and Start Leading - Turf's Up Radio. Episode 419

   Hey there, Home Service Homies! In this episode, we dive into the real Q4 grind and what it takes to win the fall rush right now. I walk through weekend outbound calling, fast virtual estimates, and why a trained CSR can book circles around you while you stay in the revenue seat. We also hit profit lifters like cleaning up your P&L, trimming subscriptions, and using smart lines of credit to fuel marketing without sinking cash flow. Then we get spicy with unpopular opinions that actually make you money today. Stop rebuilding your website when optimization will outrank the big guys, stop abdicating ops to people who are not ready, and stop racing off the truck before the numbers say you can. Take care of your crew, create raving fans on the phone, and let’s stack the calendar while everyone else waits for the phone to ring.

Like that's trying to run it and I, I've talked about this on the show before. Like when I started running Blue Skies back in 2015, 2016, I had that problem.
