Most people love the idea of entrepreneurship until they realize it takes 18 years of showing up before anything feels “successful.”

In this episode, Sean sits down with Dustin and Tiffany Mitchell of Half Moon Plumbing to tell the real story behind their $11M business, and it’s not the overnight success Instagram promised.

They unpack the early faith-driven decisions, the painful hiring bottlenecks, and the moment Dustin realized being a great plumber was actually holding the business back. You’ll hear how building technicians, committing to clear core values, and getting intentional about strategy sparked their jump from $3M to $11M in just three years.

If you own a local service business and want growth that actually lasts, this episode is required listening.
