    🔥 Hot topic: Prices for your work 🔥

    In cutting some clips from the Good Contractor Podcast, it never ceases to amaze me how every few episodes we get on the "you're not charging enough" conversation. I put an example from Paul Jamison below when he first started his business (see below for the clip). Some have shared with me...

    Shocking stat about construction and building needs

    Luke and I chatted about this on a recent episode of the Good Contractor Podcast, but Associated Builders and Contractors estimates the United States will need nearly half a million people to be new workers in the construction industry to meet demand next year (2026).

    Spooky Season is here

    I'm here admitting this since it seems to be a safe place but I've never been a fan of horror movies. Not in a, they freak me out way, but just seem ridiculous. All that's to say ... I'm here for the candy. Snickers + Sour Patch Kids please

    Pick Your Poison 🔥❄️

    Dallas here. Just remember the heat visibly radiating off the cement for 7 months out of the year. Enough was enough. :ROFLMAO:

    Funniest rookie mistake 😅😂

    This clip from back in Season 1 of the Good Contractor Podcast got me thinking about posing the question on the community… What’s the funniest “rookie mistake” or “rookie confusion” you made or had when you were just starting out? In the clip, Desmond Tse (The Siding Guy) shared how he thought...

    Pick Your Poison 🔥❄️

    To be fair, growing up in Texas, I had my fair share of heat so you could just chalk it up to me being sick of it. 😅

    Pushing checklist reminders to the team?

    Really, really appreciate you taking the time to share all of this with us! Push notifications will work for anything they get a notification about under the in CompanyCam! So yes, they'd get push notifications for Assigned Tasks so long as they have their push notifications enabled.

    Pushing checklist reminders to the team?

    Hey - great suggestion! There isn't a way to push a reminder notification to a User, but there are a few options you might consider adopting to your workflow. Are you assigning Checklists to your team? Once you assign a Checklist to someone, they'll get a notification in their notification...

    One of my favorite quotes from the Good Contractor Podcast

    Love this line from @RavinBuilders ... "Bring it." 💪

    📱Social media is tough (good thing we have some pros here) share your best advice.

    One cool thing to try is to go into a ChatGPT of similar AI tool and just have it generate 20-30 hook ideas for you. Just make sure to tell it about your business and what clips may have done well in the past. It might help take the issue of constantly trying to create a new hook out of it a bit!

    This is a great question and while I don't have the perfect answer, I bet several folks here can share what they've done and to what degree of success. Early thought is maybe muting is safest?
