Must Listen!

If you are not just in the home service business, but any business… This is the podcast for you! Crazy amount of value in this podcast, and Tommy only continues to get better and better! “Top must listen” podcast! Especially for the home service provider, but really anyone looking to improve themselves personally and/or professionally.

From every show, I learned something and make notes

Every time I drive, I listen to Mello. I am in a completely different service base business, but I learn new techniques and software ideas every time I listen to him. I recommend him to all my employees and contractors if they want to learn the entrepreneurial mindset and have a free MBA while driving. Thanks Tommy for all your hard work and passion in putting these podcast together.

Becoming unrelatable

I've been listening to the show for years and years, almost every single episode. it's a combination of Tommy talking about how dumb he is, and then how brilliant he is, he's the dumbest in the room, and then flipping and bragging about how awesome he is, and how much he has accomplished. There's no doubt about it, He has achieved some amazing things in his life, but most of us listeners are just average people that are making a living and doing well but not doing 100 million a year. I feel like the podcast has become Tommy and his buddies sitting around talking about how amazing they are and reaching levels that very few of us will ever reach. For me personally it's not super inspiring hearing the bragging... it could just be me, but it's becoming more and more unrelatable. A lot of us run service businesses because it provides a great lifestyle, and some of us have no interest in dominating the world. I do really appreciate a lot of the content and the effort the team surely puts into providing it.
