In this episode of the Home Service Studs podcast, Andrew Hathaway speaks with Matt Pourier, founder and owner of Oak Interiors Drywall and Painting in Rapid City, South Dakota. Matt shares how he built a $1 million trade business over three years through raw hard work, and how investing in coaches (like Andy Elliott, Ben Jordan, and Justin Georgiopoulos) helped him implement CRMs, SOPs, and hiring systems to scale toward $4.5 million in a single year. He breaks down stepping out of his own way by handing his primary phone number over to a project manager, transitioning to a high-accountability subcontractor model, using local Facebook video marketing, and leading his company and family with a servant-first, faith-driven mindset.

In this episode of the Home Service Studs podcast, Andrew Hathaway speaks with Shad Teerlink, founder of Evolve Pest Control, which he recently sold to Certus Pest, and now Owner/CEO of Evolve Ventures. Shad shares how he and his business partner bootstrapped a one-man route in Mesquite, Nevada into a multi-location company by knocking doors in Vegas, averaging 50% annual growth and doubling the company when they opened their Dallas branch in 2019 with more than 30 in-house sales reps who sold about 4,000 accounts in one summer. The conversation covers learning to replace yourself with systems, processes and management, running the business as CEO from home, the freedom and the pull back toward building after an exit, searching for the right acquisition, learning to be present with family, wild stories from the field including a gun pointed over a fence and a house overrun with bed bugs, and intentionally building company culture around a documented mission and core values.

Harrison shares how he started the business out of his in-laws' garage in 2017 and grew it to about 23 team members, now on pace for $5 million in 2026, nearly 100% growth over last year, with a 2030 vision of a $19 million company. The conversation covers the who and why behind the rebrand, building a strong culture grounded in faith and core values, using AI tools like Claude and WhisperFlow for SOPs, meeting summaries and journaling, a costly van accident and Las Vegas commercial auto insurance rates, and keeping faith and family first.

In this episode of the Home Service Studs podcast, Andrew Hathaway speaks with Brandon Dawson, owner of Axis Roofing, a commercial and residential roofing company serving Colorado and DFW. Brandon shares how his background as a general contractor building high-rises, parking garages and casinos shapes the company, which is a couple of years in and projected to top eight figures this year, with a goal of a nine-figure exit in the next 60 months. The conversation covers the industry shift toward retail roofing and what private equity is looking for, a call center that closed 48 of 124 leads in 30 days, farming and dominating neighborhoods, rebuilding AI systems and the back-end team after burnout, using AI for scopes, speed to lead and marketing, door knocking seven days a week, and leading with faith while living life to the fullest.
