Using the timeless 80/20 rule (Pareto Principle), Chad walks us through how identifying and acting on the most impactful 20% of our efforts can yield extraordinary results. He shares how setting 10x goals, rather than playing it safe with 10% ones, drives real behavioral change and uncovers what's truly possible.

From leadership habits and time management to mindset shifts and personal discipline, Chad dives deep into what it takes to move from mediocrity to mastery, and why choosing discomfort today could lead to unmatched success tomorrow.

If dispatch still owns your day, this one is for you.

In this episode, Chad sits down with George Eliadis from ProBook, a dispatch and AI automation partner for home service companies, to unpack what "dispatching for dollars" really looks like at scale. From running a pressure-washing side hustle in New York to riding along in TR Miller's call center and dispatch room, George shares how ProBook was built in the trenches with contractors, not in a lab.

If you're leading an HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or multi-trade shop and you already track your KPIs, this episode shows how to turn those numbers into smarter scheduling, fewer reschedules, and higher revenue per truck. And if you don't know your booking rate, batting order, and capacity story yet, Chad will challenge you on that too.

Key Takeaways:

• Why dispatch is the "hardest problem" and the best starting point for AI in the trades
• How to build batting orders that balance flips, close rates, and real dollars per call
• A simple framework for moving away from rigid time windows without destroying the customer experience
• How to handle reschedules earlier, with less drama and better scripting
• Why tools like ProBook can't fix a business that doesn't already know its numbers

Avoidance of accountability does not blow your business up overnight. It quietly lowers the bar, one unchecked behavior at a time. Peterman's Andrew Hasty walks through why avoiding accountability is one of the most dangerous dysfunctions on a team and how it slowly creates a culture of mediocrity in HVAC, plumbing, and home service businesses.

Using real stories from the field and everyday life, this episode shows how "little" things like late arrivals, missing equipment data, sloppy paperwork, and skipped debriefs are not one-off issues. They are signals that standards are slipping and that leaders are choosing personal comfort over team success.

If there is a tech coasting, a teammate with endless excuses, or a high performer who ignores process because "they produce," this episode will help frame and initiate the conversations that have been avoided for too long.
