I come from the agency space as the CMO of a large marketing agency. During my career there I spent a little north of $500M on paid media channel. With the experience I have I could immediately tell Tommy was the real deal. He consistently cover core KPIS and helps you get a gauge of what your numbers should be.

I just started my home service business in February (4 months ago) and have already scaled to 6 figures a month in revenue and am pacing to be at 6 figures a week by next month. I can attribute a lot of this to Tommy and this podcast and helping understand quickly the numbers needed in the service industry. Appreciate you Tommy!
