Great Resource

Though I’m only on episode 20, I plan on listening to every episode. I have wanted to start my own hvac business for nearly 5 years now, but I never knew where to start. Now thanks to The Void, specifically the first 9 episodes, I finally have a blueprint for what I need to work on to get there. Mitch and Dave, I can’t thank you enough for helping me start down this path, I believe that this podcast has truly changed my life.
