Introduction: Danny Leibrandt introduces himself as the founder of Pest Control SEO and welcomes Jeremy Newman, a successful entrepreneur with multiple businesses including Crown Restoration and 1 Tom Plumber. Jeremy's Entrepreneurial Journey: Jeremy shares his story of starting Crown Restoration over 18 years ago. Initially living in Tampa, Florida, and dissatisfied with his career, he decided to return to Texas and explore new business opportunities. With a background in construction, he started researching restoration and eventually moved to San Antonio, Texas in 2006. Early Challenges and Growth: Jeremy explains that in the beginning, it was mostly just him and his wife working on their own, occasionally getting help from a few workers. He recalls learning how to handle water damage jobs by consulting with an industry contact from Louisiana, who walked him through the process over the phone. Expansion into Restoration and Plumbing: Crown Restoration evolved into a full-service restoration business, including water damage mitigation, mold remediation, fire damage restoration, contents restoration, and construction. Jeremy started OneTom Plumber to address challenges in the restoration industry and leverage lead generation between the two businesses. Building the Business: Jeremy discusses the difficulty of scaling Crown Restoration and the importance of generating leads. Initially, they struggled to get work but discovered the value of building relationships with plumbers, who often encountered water damage issues first. By offering prompt service and paying plumbers for leads, they established a reliable source of business. Organizational Development: Jeremy highlights the importance of organizational development and building a strong team. He shares his journey of learning to delegate, develop business strategies, and create a company culture focused on attitude, heart, urgency, and grit. He emphasizes the significance of having a clear vision and inspiring his team towards passion and excellence in service. Family and Personal Challenges: Jeremy's wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, which led to a pivotal moment in their lives and business. This experience pushed Jeremy to rethink his approach and focus on growing the business while taking care of his family. He attributes much of his success to his faith and the support of his family, who have been actively involved in the business. Conclusion: Danny and Jeremy conclude the podcast with gratitude and mutual respect. Jeremy expresses his pride in his team and looks forward to the future growth of his businesses and the continued success of his family.
