After watching hundreds of contractors try to scale, one truth keeps showing up—systems beat hustle every time. In this episode, I sit down with Dan Claps, serial entrepreneur and founder of Voda Cleaning & Restoration, a fast-scaling home services franchise with 100 locations and $60M+ in system-wide revenue. If you’ve ever wondered whether to build it yourself or buy a proven system, this conversation pulls back the curtain—no fluff, no franchise fairytale.

Rules We Review That Separate Builders From Broke: -Speed beats control -Systems scale, hustle stalls -Execution matters more than marketing -Royalties are cheaper than mistakes -Build it to sell, not to babysit.

At some point, you either commit to a proven system—or keep paying tuition for learning the hard way. Which will you choose?
