In this episode of the Builders Bible podcast, Andrew Hathaway speaks with Warren Stroud and Ashley Stroud, founders and owners of Plumbing Outfitters in Austin, Texas. Warren, a master plumber with over 16 years of trade experience, and Ashley, a former nurse, share how they grew their business to 14 service vans and install trucks operating between $4.5 million and $5.5 million in revenue. They discuss balancing technical trade craftsman values with sustainable sales growth, overcoming high Google PPC costs through brand-led marketing (radio, billboards, wraps), managing Austin's unique slab foundation tunneling repairs, and building a self-sustaining leadership system that allows them cumulative weeks of family time.
