How about this for a plumbing company origin story? You’re a recent college grad, unemployed for months, and scouring the local newspaper’s job listings. A plumber has an open office position. Plumbing wasn’t on your radar and you’re not sure, but your dad says you’re in no position to be picky. You take the job.
In a recent episode of the Plumber Cast, Brady Jolly recounts this tale about how his father discovered the plumbing trade, eventually founding Jolly Plumbing which Brady is now the second-generation owner of. Brady has had a more clear-cut journey into the trade, knowing from a young age that he wanted to take over the family business.
On the pod, Brady gets into a number of topics — how a college degree in entrepreneurship helped him when he first took over the business, introducing technological updates to the company’s operations, and strategies about marketing and maintaining a strong employee culture.
