Most contractors don't ignore safety because they don't care.

They ignore it because they're overloaded… and OSHA paperwork feels endless.

In this episode, Dominic Rubino sits down with Eric Wick (Safety Team Technologies) to break down OSHA compliance in plain language, what triggers inspections, what auditors actually want to see, and how contractors can protect their crew and their profits with simple systems.

Topics we cover:

✅ The "three-headed dragon": workers comp spikes + injury attorneys + OSHA inspections

✅ What an IIPP is (and why "having the binder" isn't enough)

✅ The real bottleneck: training + attendance tracking

✅ How automation helps foremen enforce safety without becoming professional trainers

✅ Why preventing ONE claim can pay back safety efforts many times over

Most contractors hate selling — but it's not about scripts or pressure. It's about service.

In this episode, Dominic Rubino sits down with Sam Wakefield, sales coach and host of Close It Now, to talk about how to sell without selling.

Sam started as an HVAC installer before nearly dying in a hot attic — literally. That near-death moment sent him on a mission to learn how to sell through conversation, not manipulation.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• How to ask better questions that reveal the "why now" moment
• Why people buy when they feel safe — not when they're pressured
• How to replace "Are you interested?" with "Are you open?"
• How curiosity beats closing tactics every time
• Why serving at the highest level is selling

If you hate "sales," this episode will make you rethink everything.
