I’ve been in the trades for over a decade. I’ve worked alongside some of the sharpest master techs out there, and I’ve seen firsthand how passion, discipline, and integrity can turn this job into a calling. But Waste No Day took it to another level for me. This podcast doesn’t just talk about technique — it lights a fire in your mindset. Every episode reminds me why I show up early, go the extra mile, and take pride in what I do. It’s not just about closing tickets or chasing sales… it’s about being the best version of yourself, every single day, no excuses. Whether you’re brand new to the trade or you’ve got a toolbag older than your apprentice, this show speaks directly to your soul. It’s real, it’s actionable, and it’s the kick in the pants we all need sometimes. Huge respect to Brian and Nate for putting this together. You’re not just changing careers — you’re changing lives.🔥🔥❄️❄️🛠️🔧🛠️ Keep it up, gents. You’ve got a lifelong listener here. -Mason Tibbets- Airflow therapist

Before listening to this podcast I was averaging about 70,000 per month. I have put Brian’s training in practice which I’ve gathered over the course of approximately 17 different episodes. If you want to increase your average ticket by 50% like me take this podcast seriously. I believe Brian truly wants every technician to be successful and wants them to have a happy and balanced life. If you take this podcast seriously I can promise you that not only will your career improve but so will your at home life. Brian is giving you free training that is invaluable, use it to your advantage. Thank you to the Waste No Day Crew for helping me and many other technicians become a better version of ourselves

As a plumbing sales tech, this show has tremendously helped me stay in my disciplines and processes. I will continue to get better, with the help of Nate and Brian. I truly hope to make it to the Waste No Day boot camp someday. Thank you for everything you both do. -Mitchell Coates Tulsa, OK

Nate and Brian are the Beasts. I was a residential HVAC installer for 12 years before I moved over to the service side of the industry and I knew very little about how to close deals before listing to this podcast. When I went on my first ride along the waste no day podcast was highly recommended to me. After listening to Nate and Brian and their many guests that they bring onto the show for the past 6-8 months I can see why, I’ve learned how to meet customers where they are and how to close deals. My confidence as a HVAC technician has gone up substantially after listening to this show every working day. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone that is in the trades. -Harley from Wickstrom PHC in Meridian Idaho

I’ve been training to be an HVAC technician for a few months and next week is my first week on the road on my own. I got put onto this podcast from my trainers and it’s definitely a daily listen from now on! My biggest takeaways so far are to try and LISTEN more than talk, and listen to customers with genuine intent to help them. If you show that you care, the money will come. Thanks guys!!

This is hands-down the best podcast I’ve found for home service pros. I haven’t heard a single episode that didn’t give me something valuable I could apply right away. Appreciate all the insight you share and the work you put in—thank you!

As a business owner who’s no longer in the field, I’m always looking for ways to invest in my team and sharpen my own leadership. Waste No Day is my no-miss podcast for exactly that reason. This show delivers tactical communication training that any home service pro can put into practice. I had the chance to see Brian speak live at an event and was blown away. He has a gift for teaching — slow, detailed, and incredibly clear. I am currently working my way back through every episode. That’s how impactful it’s been. I’m beyond excited to send my techs to the Waste No Day Bootcamp — and even though I’m no longer on the truck, I’ll be attending right alongside them. Why? Because the communication strategies Brian teaches are that valuable — not just for field work, but for the leadership team as well. This podcast is an investment in your team, your company, and yourself. Don’t skip it.

I’ve been listening for a little over a year and this is a long overdue review. Great show, great guests, great hosts. There is always something to take away from these shows and I am a better business owner and person as a result. Whether its communication skills, self worth, listening, or leadership the topics are all relevant and immediately useful. The interviews are high level: Brian and Nate ask great questions, let the guests speak and know when to step back and make the guest the star of the show. The weekly quote has inspired me to start a quote board at our shop and, more often than not, I’m stealing the one from the show. I’m also grateful for Brian’s reminders to take care of my body and Nate’s reminders to take care of my family. Thank you and keep it up. Favorite episode: 2/24/25 David JP Phillips

I have been listening to Waste No Day for a few years now. Brian and Nate are freaking awesome. My mindset has shifted dramatically. I use to be shy and scared of what the customer is thinking and what objections I’m about to encounter every time I was walking up to a door. Now thanks to Brian and even Nate 😜 I have never felt more comfortable in somebody’s home. I now have my team listening to the podcast and they love it. We go over key points they learned from each podcast weekly. We also join in with Wiser Wednesday. If you are not listening to this podcast, you are wasting your day. Thank you, Brian and Nate for what you do and what you bring to the home service community.

I sell windows & doors and find this show super helpful. We’re all in the home improvement sector so the information on this show is great for all of us selling in this industry!

Been watching for a year and a half now since beginning to specialize in HVAC, the information I’ve learned from some of these episodes ESPECIALLY WITH SCOTT MANN, as been absolutely incredible in changing the way I run my service calls, and view my own career. Absolutely an amazing way to start your week on the way to your first call on Mondays and definitely has shifted my windset. I can’t thank Brian and Nate enough

With listing to this podcast for just a few months, it has opened up my mind to a whole new way to tackle business and the home service industry that I’m in (HVAC). As a recently new business start up of my own hvac company as of 2024, I feel this has been the tracks to lead me in the direction that I’m desiring to go starting from scratch and going forward. One of my most favorite things that has been said on this podcast is “there are so many that have a side hustle and not a business.” This thought made the process of starting a HVAC business less daunting even when the market seems to be so saturated in the area I am in, because even though there is a lot of competition that doesn’t mean you can’t out do them with your process. I could go on about all the amazing strategies that have been provided and proven to work for those who just listen. From personal and professional growth, to processes, strategies, sales tactics and budgets but the best way to learn about those things are to just listen yourself. One could write several books with the amount of free knowledge that they offer to those who actually listen and I personally thank all the guys who’ve been on this podcast for helping me personally grow.

Ps Listening to y’all from San Antonio tx

Lucky you!! I’m your 13th listener!! I have gained so many insights from you guys during my window time! If you’re in a service industry and you don’t listen to Nate,Brian, and their elite guests then you clearly don’t want success and you’re probably boring and lazy!! This is the best podcast ever! Period. PS : I’m a FL Mr Sparky, die hard PSU fan ( We Are!) and have beautiful 21 month old twin daughters Alayna & Aubryanna!! ✌🏻

Guys this podcast is fan freaking tastic! I’ve been in the trades for 40 years and wish I had something like this when I was coming up thru the trades as a young man! I especially enjoy the real world every day examples that highlight the challenges we face daily. I’ve shared this with my entire team to help them be the best they can be, and ask for the business! Keep on doing what you’re doing guys it’s making a difference! Tom Spall

Let’s be honest…the waste no day podcast is basically the Nate show. Now Brian…bless his heart he’s doing his best and we appreciate the effort, but Nate has the team on his back week in and week out! In all seriousness this show is great. Me and my team have learned so much listening to both Brian, Nate and the amazing guests they bring on each week. We are constantly challenged to be better and do better for our team and customers. Sorry to bust your balls Brian, we love you! ❤️ Five Starrrsssssss!!!!

For 11 years in the plumbing trade I have, frankly, gotten tired of feeling like I’m the only tech in my company that cares. That wants to grow and get better. I have BEGGED employers to train me, the just give me a few more tools in the communication and sales aspect to take me to the next level. But for some reason they seem to not care and are fine with mediocre because I’ve been “at the top.” They focus so much attention on the other techs not caring and sometimes not even showing up. Waste No Day has given me much more than any employer had yet offered. And made me not feel so alone. That there are so many awesome tradesman out there killing it AND upping their game continually. The community is priceless. Good news! I got in contact with Brian and now work for him in Phoenix! Just started and I am so freakin excited to get uncomfortable with my old communication habits and learn much better ones directly from him and my co-workers he’s trained! I look forward to when I can join a boot camp and keep on growing! Thank you waste no day for this new glimmer of hope in my career and the beginning of my next phase of life.

By far the best podcast for the trades. I highly recommend this show to anyone and everyone, especially those interested in upping their game in sales, service, or just improving their mindset. You won’t find a better podcast than WND!

The Waste No Day podcast consistently delivers valuable insights, and this episode was no exception. The conversation with Logan Altland was packed with actionable advice on handling customer objections, optimizing service calls, and mastering the mindset of a high-performing electrician. Whether you’re an apprentice or a seasoned pro, this episode is a great reminder that success in the trades is about more than just technical skills—it’s about communication, efficiency, and continuous improvement. Highly recommend! Plumbers and HVAC workers need a Hero ! .. Electrician Logan Altland !!

Have been listening to this podcast for about 4 months now. After being turned onto it one episode in I was hooked. Have not yet gotten through all the back episodes but working on it. Brian and Nate thanks so much for what you do for us I can’t say how much I appreciate it.

Thank you for this podcast. I have learned and put into practice so many of the tips and techniques from your lessons. I especially enjoyed from stress to yes. Question what is the best response to a tip? I got a $43 tip for an $800 job and I said thank you for the tip. The guy looked at me weird. Do you have any suggestions on if I should or should not mention the tip? Thanks Michael M - WSNC Plumber

You guys are doing a great job helping the trades and getting guys to the next level. Keep doing what your doing

Gave me so much motivation when I had 0 left in my tank after doing this for 14 years. Just want to say thank you and yall have changed my whole perspective on life and now I wake up ready to go and get it! Thank you!

Unbeatable content.

I was referred to this podcast through a friend. He definitely steered me right. You guys have brought a young guy from a dream to something that can just be one less wasted day away. Thank you for all that you do. I’m gonna be on this podcast because of this podcast haha.

So glad to finally find a podcast that I can listen to not only while driving but while performing my work. Ronnie over at Mr.Rooter St. George Utah got me onto you guys and y’all are doing amazing work. I’ve been in the plumbing trade for 13 years and able to provide for my 5 kids and wife. I’ve always been into self development and have listen to many great speakers you guys have had on the show. In just the 2 weeks I’ve listened to you guys I’ve already noticed major differences in my services and in life. I am working on applying this knowledge into my virtual plumbing assistance/ Lead finder PlumbingHotlineUSA. One day I will be on your podcast, look forward to meeting you guys. Keep up the amazing work, the trade and young men need to be listening to this podcast if they want to elevate their life’s.

If you are in the Home services industry you need to listen to this podcast! The insights gained here will be invaluable to running a service call or training your team. At Safe Electric and Plumbing we have probably converted what we learned here to many thousands of dollars in revenue. Thanks Brian and Nate! Keep up the good work!! Matt Wehrle President of Safe Electric and Plumbing Columbus Ohio! Go Bucks O-H

I’ve been listening to this show for a few years, it’s part about of my routine. This show makes Monday the best day of the week. It’s helped me a ton. We don’t do sales training at my shop, so this is where I get my training and book recommendations. Loved the boot camp too! This show is not just for sales tips, it’s totally great for mindset. I downloaded my favorite episodes and listen to them when I’m feeling down or just feeling lazy. Highly recommended.

I listen whenever I can while I’m on the road. Every bit of info is practical and it helps me understand both sides of the sales process. You guys are a great team, you got a listener for life!

If you’re in the trades and serious about growth, the Waste No Day podcast is a must-listen! Nate and Brian do an incredible job delivering valuable insights on leadership, sales, and personal development, all tailored to the home service industry. The guest speakers are top-notch, sharing real-world experiences that you can apply immediately. Every episode leaves me with something new to implement in my business and daily life. Highly recommend for anyone looking to take their career to the next level!

I’ve gotten the chance to experience this past weekend’s bootcamp and !MAN! it truly solidified my path to a successful career. Huge shout out to Ashton K. and Brent B. COOL GUYS STAY BROKE ! - Alex Griego ( JW Heating and Air )

Waste No Day isn’t just a podcast—it’s a movement for those of us in the trades who want to be better every single day. I had the privilege of attending the Waste No Day boot camp, and it was an incredible experience. Brian and the team truly care about helping us grow, not just as professionals but as people. He goes above and beyond—even giving back to us on his wife’s birthday! That level of dedication speaks volumes. The podcast itself is packed with real, actionable advice that’s helped me sharpen my skills, mindset, and approach to the job. If you’re in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or any service trade, this is a must-listen. Can’t recommend it enough!

Pure gold

Brian and Nate never rest in bringing on the most informative and inspiring guests

This podcast has had a direct impact on my most successful months being in a truck - the waste no day podcast serves as a resource for motivation, techniques to get out of a slump and provides continuous mentorship to home services professionals like myself. I appreciate Brian and Nate for showing up every Monday!

I work at A1 garage doors, but beforehand i was a plumber who went through sales training through programs such as nexstarr and in house sales training through big plumbing companies, but nothing compares to the things you guys go over! Im a month into my career and i keep climbing the ranks day by day. Massive shoutout to Justin Tatum for telling all A1 academy employees about waste no day! Looking forward to wasting no day everyday!

I own a door company. We install entry and patio doors. Even though most of what is discussed here is about the “big 3” trades, the principles are timeless. I listen to 5-10 podcasts a week and this one is always one of them. So much value every week. I really appreciate you guys!

It has been said that you first lose big. Then you lose small. Then you win small. Then you win big. Brian and Nate help you shorten the time between stages . Their guests offer fresh actionable content that can be immediately implemented. One of our techs listened for the first time, and he went out and sold 3 units that week.

An extremely good listen for anyone looking to get better at sales in home services, but the person to trust in particular for plumbing sales info and guests. Trustworthy advice.

Fantastic source of information and inspiration. This last year was my first in sales (sewers specifically), and this podcast is the closest thing I had to consistent mentorship in that time period. I grossed $2.6 million in ‘24 and expect to break $3 million this year. I owe so much to this podcast’s content and their emphasis on self study/self development. It only gets better from here! Thank you, Nate and Brian!

Only been listening for a couple of months and have been very impressed with results I’ve now seen in my personal life as well as when I’m running calls. Just wrapped up with the waste no day bootcamp and was able to learn a better process as well as fix multiple mistakes I didn’t even know I was making. Now I know to ask for the sale ! Thank you Brian. - Trey

I have listened to the Waste No Day podcast for over a year and the quality of information Brian and Nate have is incredible. Not only do they bring in the best people in the industry, the topics are directly relatable to real life experiences. What you two are doing is allowing everyone that listens to have that opportunity to be at the level of the guests you have on your show. And for that I know I’m not the only one who appreciates it. No Seriously, thank you. -Jonathan Gurney Apollo Plumbing Heating and Cooling

This podcast has been absolutely essential to my success. The insights, mindset shifts, and practical strategies they share have helped me level up in both my personal and professional life. Every episode brings real, actionable advice that applies directly to my work in the trades. Whether you are new to the industry or a seasoned pro, this podcast will challenge you, inspire you, and help you grow. Five stars all the way!

Two months of only listening to this podcast in my truck. Within that time I have tripled my Opp Job Avg and income. Ive become a better teacher, communicator, and all around professional. My family and I owe these guys more than they could ever imagine. Thank you for all the good work you guys do. The trades and home service professionals are better everyday because of this pod. Peace and Love!

Whaaaaaat????? I’m blown away and amazed with the creative minds of Brian and Nate for even coming up with the idea to start such a podcast. These two are on their way to becoming legends!! This podcast has helped myself reach that tipping point in my career that I always had a feeling I could reach, just didn’t know where to start. The real life and real time scenarios Waste No Day guests and hosts layout are applicable in real life, and I experience them daily. Applying the strategies and techniques I’ve learned from Waste No Day has helped me reach monthly personal records in sales that I never knew could be reached. From my family to yours Nate and Brian, thank you so much for all you do! You two are legends in my book, and I am sure many others would agree.

In a home service industry world full of everybody being gurus and most of them not knowing what they’re talking about. It’s nice to find a place with meaningful actionable education on a regular basis. I am officially one of the dozen listeners.

“Man, these guys are the real deal. Every episode feels like sittin’ on the porch with a couple of wise friends who truly understand the grind of running a home service company. They’re honest, practical, and always sharing ideas that actually work. Now, I know what you’re thinking: ‘Brian’s a plumber—bless his heart. Can I really learn wisdom from one of them?’ (Let’s be real, we all know electricians are at the top of the food chain.) But trust me, this podcast is a must for anyone in the trades who wants to grow their business and have a good laugh while doin’ it.”

It’s super hard for me to complement a vocal supporter of the Wolverines, but Brian and Nate have a pretty great thing going with this podcast! I met Brian at a Clover Mastermind event in September. He’s as genuine as they come. I was excited to find out about the podcast and started tuning in right away. The content is super practical. I’ve shared several episodes with my team and encourage them to subscribe and invest some time in their education. Well done, you two! #alwaysabuckeye

I enjoy your show and I will even take the time to take notes so I can come back later to review the information. I listen to multiple podcasts but waste no day is one that I feel I am truly going to learn from. Thank you from myself and the dozens of other listeners.

Love it! Cool to see the people I personally follow and learn from come onto this podcast. Listening to this podcast is a cheat code to win at life! Excited for waste no day boot camp🫡💪
