In this episode of the Big Hitters podcast, Andrew Hathaway speaks with Amy Carnick, founder of Elevated Trade Advisors and former owner of Foster Plumbing. Amy shares her background, from entering the plumbing industry without prior trade experience to scaling a commercial plumbing company from $1 million to $12 million in revenue within five years. She breaks down her experience executing an eight-figure exit at a 6x EBITDA multiple, the critical differences between investment bankers and business brokers, the power of integrating offshore staffing for administrative and estimating tasks, and how she now helps small-to-mid-sized trade owners optimize operations and finances.
