This week on the show Ryan engages in a conversation with the spouses of accomplished landscape lighting business owners. This diverse group includes spouses who are not directly involved in the business, newcomers to the industry, and those who have been actively involved since the business's inception. It's widely acknowledged that their support plays a crucial role in the success of these businesses. They are akin to indispensable "employees" whose roles cannot be filled by anyone else—they are irreplaceable pillars of support.

This week on the show we welcome Neel Parekh who in 2013, amidst his corporate endeavors, chanced upon a Reddit post that ignited the inception of MaidThis - a groundbreaking cleaning service tailored for the digital era. Witnessing the constraints of traditional cleaning firms, Neel embarked on a quest to revolutionize the industry, introducing automated booking, online payments, and cutting-edge marketing strategies. As MaidThis progressed, they honed in on the burgeoning vacation rental market, leveraging technology for exponential growth. With their footprint expanding and operations refining, MaidThis emerged as a frontrunner in the cleaning domain. The journey solidified MaidThis' potential as a remotely managed venture, culminating in the 2020 launch of a franchise model - a new era of expansion and innovation.
