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.

The Real-Talk Podcast for Entrepreneurs Who’ve Grown Through the Grind

Building a business is hard.

Building one past 7+ figures? Even harder. Especially when life doesn’t play fair.

Think Business with Tyler goes behind the highlight reels.

Every Monday, I sit down with entrepreneurs who’ve built real businesses and had to push through real pain to do it.

From divorce and burnout to lawsuits and near-bankruptcies, these are the stories most people are too scared to tell.

We don’t do fluff. We do grit.

Here’s what you’ll get:

* 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
* Hard-won lessons on resilience, identity, and bouncing back
* What they’d never do again—and what got them through

If you’ve ever felt like no one understands what you’re going through, this show proves you’re not alone. These are your people.

🎧 New episodes every Monday.

Subscribe now and hear what it really takes to scale.
