There are thousands of podcasts out there about the trades. Tom Howard and Kathryn Pollock are a brother and sister team that wanted to bring transparency and authenticity to the trades. They decided to to do something unthinkable to most business owners. They own and operate several trades businesses and they are going to talk about and actually publish their financials for everyone to see.
They intend to build Lee’s Air out of Fresno California to sell it in 2025 and hope that you will join them along them along the way. Follow the ups and downs, the wins, the losses, and learn what it takes to get a business to over a 100 million dollars valuation before selling. You can listen the constant banter between a brother and sister and they run this road together.
