Brent Garrett (Sirius Plumbing & Air Conditioning, The Skilled Trades Coach, author of 30 Days to a Better Business) joins Garrett Amundsen on American Builders, presented by TradeGuard.

Brent is a second-generation plumber who built, sold, nearly lost everything, and rebuilt - then turned those lessons into a coaching practice for skilled trades owners. We dig into:

• The $1M wake-up call - the day the lights went out
• Why you can delegate tasks but never final accountability for the money
• Needs-based selling - we love to buy, we hate to be sold
• Stop closing like a bad doctor (diagnose first, then recommend)
• Knowing why you're selling before you sell the business
• Escaping the whirlpool - working twice as hard for half the profit
