Trades grow when leaders grow.

In this solo episode, Chad breaks down the real work of leadership in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical: sacrifice, habits, unseen effort, and passion. He shows how a leader's day-to-day routine quietly shapes technicians' income, families, and even Christmas mornings.

Hear how to trade busy work for high-impact work, build simple daily habits that move revenue and culture, and embrace the "unrequited work" no one sees, but everyone feels. Chad also shares why working hard is only the starting line, and how passion and belief separate an average shop from a market leader.

Key Takeaways:

• Growth requires giving up comfort, control, and credit so the team can win.
• How a leader spends time tells the team what actually matters.
• Consistent coaching and follow-up beat annual goals and crossed fingers.
• The extra training, scripts, and process fixes quietly change families' lives.
• Deep belief in the mission helps teams push through broken systems and hard seasons.

Andrew Hasty, COO at Peterman Brothers, challenges HVAC, plumbing, and electrical leaders to stop using the word "premium" as a label and start treating it as a daily standard. If pricing, marketing, and wrapped trucks all scream premium, but leadership behavior, culture, and follow-through do not match, that is not just a soft issue. It is a full-blown business identity crisis.

Andrew reframes what "premium" actually means in a home service company: how your leaders talk, how they handle conflict, whether they walk past sloppy trucks, tolerate gossip, or avoid hard conversations. Listeners hear why inconsistency is expensive, why gossip is "fun" but toxic, and how every one-on-one conversation, Slack message, or branch visit becomes a brushstroke on the picture of the brand.

For owners, GMs, and managers in the trades, this episode is a direct call-out: premium cannot just be demanded from technicians in the field. Leadership must model the premium first in how standards are set, how wins are celebrated, how accountability is handled, and how people are cared for.

Key Takeaways:

• Premium is lived, not priced

  Your rates can be premium only if leadership behavior and culture feel premium to the team and the customer.

• Leaders set the true standard

  Trucks, installs, and communication all follow the level of ownership and consistency modeled by leaders.

• What you allow becomes normal

  Ignoring gossip, sloppiness, or excuses silently tells the team that mediocrity is acceptable.

• Gossip destroys a premium brand

  Gossip and blame culture erode trust, clarity, and the identity you are trying to build.

• Consistency makes excellence "boring."

  When coaching, standards, and follow-through are consistent, high performance becomes predictable instead of dramatic.
