JackQuisitions - Small Business Acquisitions in Home Service From a $15K Acquisition to an $8M Home Service Business (In Just 14 Months)
Today on JackQuisitions, Jack talks with Dustin Marx, founder of Mother (Modern Plumbing) — the Texas-based plumbing company that went from $15K a month to an $8M run rate in just 14 months.
Dustin isn’t your typical plumbing entrepreneur — he’s a former tech founder who turned a small, two-person shop into a fast-scaling, culture-first powerhouse. In this episode, he breaks down how he found his first acquisition through a podcast, why brand and mission matter more than ever, and how a 50% profit-sharing model built unshakable buy-in from his team.
If you’re thinking about buying your first business or scaling your home service company the right way, this episode is a must-watch.
