"Do you have any advice for couples considering starting a business together?"
We had so much fun having the girls join us that we asked them back for another episode and it was awesome.
Once again we'd like to thank Sheryl and Heather for putting up with us and for making every day better as we work our way to the top building our business and making this life together. Thank you!

Ever think "If only I knew then what I know now" ?
We are so pumped to bring you this and the next episode with special Guests Heather Aune & Sheryl Mickelson, the obvious better halves of the MTGA team.
Sheryl runs the office and a good part of the business for Mickelson Plumbing & Heating.
Heather has done the books for both MH & Aune Plumbing & Heating for over a decade on top of her (former) day job.
It was so cool to hear their perspectives as we consider looking back to the early days of starting our business.

You might know Colton as @viking_pipefitter on the socials. You might know him from a training session or trades show when he worked for Viega but do you know how he got his start?

The guys talk stress relief and how to handle the day-to-day stresses of running a small business. Some days are better than others for sure but having one or two things to keep you sane can make a huge difference!

The guys talk AI and how they've been using it for work. Scheduling, emails, videos etc. are just some of the ways Eric has put ChatGPT to work for him.
Are you using any form of artificial intelligence on the job or in the office for day to day tasks? We'd really like to talk to you about it so text us!
