Today's Dropping Bombs episode brings two of the youngest operators to ever hit the studio — Chase Wallin and Jace Holtz, just 21 and 22, already running $200K/month in combined recurring revenue across two service businesses, with 40% margins on the commercial side and private equity already knocking on the door.

They break down why trash bin cleaning and fleet washing are the most slept-on cash machines in America, why most 50/50 partnerships are a ticking time bomb, and how to raise investor capital through trucks — not equity. Their exit target: $50 million in three and a half years.

Two kids fresh out of high school built this from a borrowed U-Haul and a single pressure washer. Press play for the blueprint.
