In this special flashback episode of the Owned and Operated HVAC, electrical, and plumbing growth podcast, we're revisiting a chat with Johnny SqueegeeGod from 2021.  Why the throwback? Well, following a recent discussion with Aaron Harper about power washing, it seemed like the perfect time to go back to Johnny's episode. He talks about running Orange Window Cleaning and reflects on how his business has grown in the four years since he started at 19, kicking off with just $150, a bucket, a squeegee, and his trusty RAV4. Now, with his partner, Sergio, has successfully expanded their operation to three trucks.Episode Host:John Wilson: @wilsoncompaniesBrandon Niro: @BrandonNiroEpisode Guest:Johnny Robinson: @SqueegeeGodSpecial thanks to our sponsor: Service Scalers: Looking to scale your home service business?
