CSTG 250: Sacrifice, Habits & Unseen Work of Leadership with Chad Peterman

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.

Perfect for owners, GMs, and service leaders who feel stuck in the grind and want a clear reset on what actually scales a team: https://cantstopthegrowth.com/the-arena
