  • The Financial Literacy Masterclass Every Contractor Needs | Ellen Rohr

    The Financial Literacy Masterclass Every Contractor Needs | Ellen Rohr
    Jul 30 2026
    Most contractors don't have a fraud problem. They have a messy books problem. And it's quietly costing them sleep, options, and profit. In this episode of Can't Stop the Growth, Chad Peterman sits down with Ellen Rohr, the trades industry's go-to voice on financial literacy. Ellen married a plumber named Hot Rod, nearly went broke running their shop, learned to read a P&L off a fax machine from mentor Frank Blau, and went on to help build Benjamin Franklin Plumbing and co-found Zoom Drain. Her whole message: the numbers aren't the scary part of the business. They're the scoreboard, and anyone can learn to keep score. Whether your books are a hot mess or you're just tired of guessing, this is the financial gut-check every home service owner needs.

  • Why You Can't Find Good Technicians (It's Not the Labor Market)

    Why You Can't Find Good Technicians (It's Not the Labor Market)
    Jul 28 2026
    "I just can't find good people." If you've ever said it, or blamed a slow quarter on the labor market, this one's for you.I'm Chad Peterman, CEO of Peterman Brothers. Over the last 15 years we've scaled from $5 million to over $115 million a year with 500+ people, in the exact same markets where owners tell me there are no technicians. The market isn't dry. Your offer just isn't strong enough to pull someone away from where they already are.Finding A-players and keeping them are two different problems, and most owners lose them on the second one. The pipeline for good talent isn't empty. It's just not pointed at you yet.Which of the four levers are you working on right now? Drop it in the comments. I read every one.Want to connect with me and my team?

    Why the Best Technician Makes the Worst Business Owner
    Jul 24 2026
    You started your own shop, and you're still the best technician on the team. That's exactly the problem.I'm Chad Peterman, CEO of Peterman Brothers. Over the last 15 years we've scaled from $5 million to over $115 million a year in home services, and everything in this episode I got wrong myself first, most of it back around 20 employees when I still thought being the hardest worker in the building was the job.This is the exact shift from doing the work to leading the people who do it. Four skills, and once you see them, you'll spot the one thing actually capping your growth. For most owners, it's them.The best technician in the building and the best owner of the business are two different people. You've already proven you can be the first one. The second one is learnable, but only on purpose. Which of these skills are you working on right now? Drop it in the comments. Want to go deeper on the owner skill set?
