the growing trades business with Rich Hart & Jess Passmore - Harts Plumbers, Electricians, & HVAC

With all these tech layoffs, should we get into the trades? We're pulling back the curtain on the trades industry with two leaders from one of the Pacific Northwest's fastest-growing home services companies. The CEO and COO share how they scaled Harts from a Gig Harbor garage to 150+ employees, why they built their own apprenticeship academy, and what tariffs and rising utility costs actually mean on the ground for tradespeople and homeowners.

Top Stories:

1. Inside the trades: workforce pipeline, women in the industry, and building a company academy (Seattle Times article)

2. Microsoft's first-ever voluntary retirement program

3. World Cup hotel bookings are lower than expected
