This week we chat with Glenn Fricke of DG Inspekts, a multi-inspector company in Tampa Bay, Florida. I like Glenn (not only because he's a long-time Spectora user) because he is a very sharp, well-read businessman that seems to understand the perspective of others. He's a no bs kind of guy that does a nice job sharing his experience and very pragmatic perspective on his job as a home inspector.
Some of the topics we get into:
What trade, contruction and contractor types should be thinking about when getting into the home inspection industry.
Hiring, mentoring and training.
Knowing your role as a home inspector.
Why he thinks we're in a real estate bubble that's destined to pop soon.
Importance of a website.
On why he doesn't take himself of this business too seriously and helping others.
Glenn can be found at this website, http://www.dgciflorida.com/.

We are fortunate to be joined on Spectora Spotlight by Joy Hawkins, owner/founder of Sterling Sky, a prominent Local SEO Agency. Joy is a top columnist and writer for the likes of Search Engine Land and Moz, and speaks at a number of high profile SEO conferences and Expos.
I've personally learned so much from her research and work, so I am so happy we got the chance to speak to someone who is on the cutting-edge of what Google is up to.
We mentioned a couple sites and links in this episode:

Ben Gromicko of InterNACHI updates us on what InterNACHI is up to in Florida, upcoming conferences, and what new home inspectors should be doing to set themselves apart and become successful. We also get into what he did as a home inspector to eventually get to the mythical $1000 per inspection price tag. Most importantly, we talk about who used to win wrestling matches between him and Nick.
