Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers raw blue-collar wisdom with John Seaman — the founder who turned a struggling trades business into a multi-million dollar empire, built a real estate portfolio from the profits, and now teaches other working-class entrepreneurs to do the same.
John breaks down the billion-dollar opportunity hiding in plain sight, why HVAC is the most slept-on money machine in the trades, and the acquisition playbook for buying a business you know nothing about. Plus, he reveals the simple real estate strategy that turned his trades income into lasting generational wealth.
Whether you're already in the trades or just tired of trading time for a paycheck, this one's for you.
