So first off, blue collar startups, all the sweaty startup people are always going off about how these businesses are the best businesses to start. In reality, like what they never do is show you actually how to grow them. So that's what I want to talk about today. So each of these things are approachable.
You can go get started with these businesses for like 150 bucks at your Lowe's or Home Depot or whatever, you know, your Ace Hardware is right next to you. I think it's one of these ideas that's like very deceptive when you look at it, like you're like, oh, this is just some simple, dumb lifestyle business.
But in reality, like the game here is you go and you make this service business a sweaty startup or whatever the hell you want to call it.

Gotta stretch it out, dude. You gotta stretch it out. You need, you need the intro music. We have to figure out how to do this. I want like sip, you know, the sip theme song playing as you're waiting in the waiting room.
But when Cody Schneider comes on, it's like sip in time, baby.

So anyway, Cody Schneider, you're back. You're ready to sip. You got a lot of blue collar ideas and... Some blue collar.
I want to rip on those first because it's driving me crazy. Everybody always talks about how easy it is to start these businesses and then they never actually show you how to do this. And it's...
