This week we had the honor of speaking with someone who has come from the industry and is now looking in from a national view with Service Titan- Jon Brewer!!! In this episode, Jon Brewer talks about how important it is to have the willingness to be disruptive in the trades. “It will bring people back to the trades, attract people to the trades, and make them want to work in the trades.” Don't be scared to disrupt the norms and learn to make massive changes… or you might be taking the risk of going out of business altogether if not. Jon has the experience and the perspective of the industry, so make sure to take a listen to this episode!
