This week on The Real Deal, Janine and Ryan sit down with Dallin, the founder of Flamingo Pools, who shares his incredible journey from a broke 21-year-old with just a pole, net, and brush to running a 7-figure pool service company with over 15 employees.

Born and raised in Arizona, Dallin never imagined himself as a business owner—until a childhood helping his dad clean their family pool sparked an unexpected passion. After working for a pool company for just six months, Dallin took the leap, hit the pavement knocking on doors, and began building a brand that’s now thriving.

In this episode Dallin shares how working on the business instead of in it, fueled his growth. He also shares tips on the power of social media & networking as well as how door-knocking helped his early hustle. Whether you're in the trades or just starting our as an entrepreneur, Dallin's story is full of raw insights and real strategies you can use!

Originally from California and now calling Arizona home since 2008, Josh shares his journey—from serving a mission in Mexico to meeting his wife at church (now married 18 years!) and raising six kids, ages 8 to 17.

But there’s more—Josh is also passionate about staying active, running Spartan races, and leading by example when it comes to health and discipline. This episode dives into everything from practical financial planning tips, saving money, and preparing for your financial future, to hot topics like tariffs and how they impact your wallet.

It’s a real conversation about real life—faith, fitness, family, and financial wisdom you can actually use.
