Ok, James didn't really say the name that's in the title but we talked about it!

ā”ļø Andrew & Sarah are fun. And Authentic.
Without a traditional home inspector's background (like many nowadays), they've used authenticity, communication and social media to win in their first year.
They are a dynamic combo with Andrew having the calm, reassuring vibe and Sarah having the high energy, driven style. And it's clearly working!
š² You can find them on Instagram @wsinspect

Not growing a zillion percent a year? Not turning away business in your first year? Not becoming a multi after years in the biz?
That's ok.
Read that again, that's totally ok. And more normal than you think.
I was so happy Jed reached out to be on the pod. His journey is more representative of many home inspectors first years in the business.
Hear how he navigated a part-time job and eventually quitting and going into inspections full time. We'll also chat about what worked to steadily grow this business.

Reuben Saltzman and George Ury of Ā @Structure Tech Home InspectionsĀ in Minnesota share how they think about culture, buy-in, training, content marketing, inspection efficiency and more.
ā”ļø They are one of the biggest companies in the country and it's truly refreshing how down-to-earth and personable they are. They just flat out do things well and have maintained high standards all the way up to 30+ employees. They are just fun guys that are dominating Minnesota and the internet (have you seen their blog?).

Did you know less than 3% of inspectors are women?
Jennifer Riley didn't see any in her new inspector class. She wants to change that. Jennifer owns Doyenne Inspections in Austin, Texas and she's well on her way to growing that number.
We talk not only about women in the business, but also how growth in many major markets is resulting in builders passing on phase inspections, how reports matter and how she's growing her company.

Tim is back with some amazing metrics and results! For only being in the business a few years, ranking 1st in Chicago is no small feat! He is a shining example of just how powerful content marketing is. He's proven it.
We talk about just taking action when it comes to writing (and anything really), not being a perfectionist with certain things, being an above average inspector and other little tips and stories.
Want to see what he's been writing about? Check out his website (psst, Spectora made it and we'd love to make yours too!)

Jamie is the guy that made a clever, unique video called "Will He Fit". Check it out, it's pretty funny.
Any new inspector that is this creative and just goes for it, I want to talk to. Jamie tells us his windy path to the home inspection industry and how he thinks about the business, just being in his first couple months.
If nothing else, just go for it and don't worry about what anyone else thinks!Ā
