## Resource

Tommy, founder of a $200M+ home service business, breaks down the exact principles he used to scale—from performance pay and hiring A-players to dialing in branding, KPIs, and company culture. But more than tactics, this talk hits on something deeper: accountability, execution, and why most contractors stay stuck despite having access to great ideas. If you've ever felt like you're working hard but not making the progress you expected—or you know what to do but aren't actually doing it—this episode will challenge you to rethink how you operate your business and your life.
