In this raw Dropping Bombs episode, former detective Jimmy Fazekas reveals how he launched Bluewater Exteriors from his garage with $10,000 and scaled it into a multimillion-dollar home services powerhouse. Operating at 50%+ gross margins in gutters, windows, and screen enclosures, Jimmy exposes why overlooked blue-collar industries are goldmines and how private equity is starting to notice.

Jimmy breaks it down: building recurring revenue models, structuring performance pay systems, and the ugly promotion strategy that generates qualified leads without wasting ad spend. If you're ready to escape the wage ceiling and build real wealth through grit and systems, this conversation is your golden-ticket.
