Profit & Grit with Tyler

The No-BS Podcast for Home and Commercial Service Business Owners Who Want More Than Just Survival

Running a home service or trades business isn’t for the faint of heart. Cash flow problems, hiring headaches, and the daily grind can wear you down fast.

Profit and Grit cuts through the fluff.

Every Tuesday, I talk with real business owners, blue-collar entrepreneurs, and no-nonsense experts who’ve been in the trenches. We get into the uncensored stories—what’s working, what’s failing, and how they’re pushing through.

This isn’t theory. It’s the real stuff no one talks about.

Here’s what you’ll get:

* Raw stories of grit, failure, and hard-won success
* Real strategies to scale without burning out
*  Cash flow and profitability insights you can use today
*  Smart ways to attract and keep top technicians
*  Lessons on acquisitions, exits, and long-term wealth

If you want to grow a business that works for you—not the other way around—this podcast is for you.

🎧 New episodes every Tuesday.

Hosted by Tyler Martin — a seasoned business advisor with two successful service business exits, including one he grew to $25 million in annual revenue. He’s been in your shoes and knows what it takes to scale, profit, and build something that lasts.

* Raw, unfiltered stories of business owners who scaled after hitting rock bottom
* Real-world strategies for scaling, leading, and staying sane
* Tactical insights on cash flow, decision-making, and surviving chaos

Most contractors think they have a sales problem.


Danielle Putnam says many times it is a pricing problem.

As CEO of The New Flat Rate, she’s helped service companies across the U.S., Canada, and Australia add billions in revenue by fixing how they price, not how they sell.

She grew up in the trades, passing out flyers for her dad’s business at seven, and turned that experience into a pricing system that makes every service call simpler, faster, and more profitable.

A few takeaways from our conversation:

• Most “profitable” billable hours aren’t actually profitable
• Offering five clear options drives higher close rates and happier customers
• Her process takes the pressure off techs and makes pricing feel natural
• Pricing clarity builds confidence, for owners, teams, and customers alike

Danielle’s approach removes the guesswork and turns pricing into a process anyone can follow, not a stressful back-and-forth on every job.

Profit becomes predictable when your pricing is. Danielle’s story proves it.

It’s the race to the face.
Almost nobody talks about it.

The shop that gets in front of the homeowner first usually wins.
Not the cheapest shop.
Not the one with the best techs.
The fastest one.

And every “free estimate” sent out?
It costs you 300 to 600 dollars before you even give a quote.
Lose the job and that money is gone.

That’s why I brought James Hatfield onto Profit and Grit.

He breaks down how to win this race without burning cash or rolling a truck every time.

We get into:

• Virtual estimates that close at or above in-person rates
• Video intake that pre-qualifies the job
• QR codes that pull customers back to you instead of Google
• Simple daily habits that boost speed and profit

If you’ve ever wondered why shops keep stealing work, or why your close rates swing like crazy, this episode will give you ideas to use.

It’s fast, practical, and something you can use this week.

Business Interval

Merger and Acquisitions | Business Brokerage

Business Interval Team

We are a group of young people with experience in business, who aspire to change for the better the current state of the small and medium business market. Engaged in the field, we have observed for years that when small and medium-sized business owners wanted to divest their businesses, they faced incredible difficulties in finding potential buyers / investors, resulting in companies with potential and profitability rolling down the shutters and closing, while the owners themselves lost assets and employees their jobs.

And this was all happening, not because there were no potential buyers, but simply because there was no one platform for either sellers or buyers to network, where each side could meet and match their assets to the most suitable opportunity. Natural or legal persons who came to the business arena to invest huge sums in similar ideas and projects could potentially acquire an already existing business at a very attractive price, which with the appropriate interventions and improvements would “be suited to their measure”, thus saving money, time, energy and finally ensuring better returns on their investment.

This situation prompted us to envision and start implementing a “Market”: a global meeting place for small and medium-sized businesses, where businesses for sale would be able to easily find and meet new owners. Thus, at any time, simply, easily and professionally, any business owner will be able to divest, communicate and agree with a new investor or business partner, who will immediately take on “running” it from the very next hour.

And we will not stop envisioning until we fully achieve it our promise and vision together!

Today we share with you our first step, with many more to come!…
