I want the trades to get better.

I do not want a world where it is told, go to college, go to college, go to college, go to college, go to college, go to college.

Or you're going to dig ditches, which, don't get me wrong, dug my share of ditches.

But I want that to change.

And the trades can do that.

Welcome to the Waste No Day podcast, a podcast specifically for and about the home services industry

as it relates to plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and electrical. More than a podcast,

Waste No Day is a credo, a determination, a mindset. It is a never-ending discipline.

It is a refuse to lose pursuit. It is a wake-up call every morning to waste no day.

Now here's your host, Nate and Brian,

hanging out with you again and looking forward to another great episode. This time we're

bringing on the show, Matt Mahalek. He is the national director of electrical growth

for Apex Service Partners, and we are looking forward to having him on the show today to talk about

things like comfort zone, blinders, and so much more. It's going to be a great conversation,

and you know we always make it applicable to all the trades and beyond. So stay tuned, even if you don't have any love for

electricians. We don't either. But every once in a while, we have to bring them one. So it's going to be

a conversation. We are looking forward to having Matt on. But before we get to that part, we're

going to have a little bit of an introduction for you ourselves. And we're going to start off with

Brian and our quote. Reading is equivalent to thinking with someone else's head instead of one's own.

Arthur Schopenhauer.

I like that one.

That's good.
