In this episode of the Built Local Podcast, Clay Lawrence sits down with Derek from Landmine Patrol, a rapidly growing pet waste removal company in Northeast Ohio.

Derek shares how he and his cousin started their poop scooping business while both working full time jobs, how they pushed through a slow start, and how they exploded to 130+ recurring customers in less than a year.

They break down Facebook ads, lead follow up, automation systems, customer communication, pricing lessons, and the mindset shifts required to build a real home service business.

If you're starting a poop scooping business, local service business, or side hustle, this episode is packed with practical advice and real world lessons.
