In this episode, Josh and I speak with Ty, a 2nd generation plumber who comes from Roto-Rooter where he was the service manager for some time.

He shares his experience working for one of these larger private equity/corporate companies and how dropping out of college ( but later returning to receive his associate's) led to a very lucrative career in plumbing where he strives to be a leader in his field by embracing the "Education Over Persuasion" philosophy and ditching the high-pressure sales/scare tactics that are unfortunately a part of our industry.

He also offers his advice on new constriction vs service for apprentices who are unsure and discusses the differences between a leader and a manager.
