0:00.0	Welcome to the Waste No Day podcast, a podcast specifically for and about the home services industry as it relates to plumbing, heating,
0:22.7	air conditioning, and electrical. More than a podcast, Waste No Day is a credo, a determination,
0:29.4	a mindset. It is a never-ending discipline. It is a refuse to lose pursuit. It is a wake-up call
0:36.0	every morning to waste no day. Now here's your host,
