On this episode of the Whatever It Takes Podcast, Brandon J sits down with Charlie Beis, founder and owner of Beis Plumbing, to discuss what it really takes to build a thriving home service business from the ground up. Charlie shares how he spent years trying to escape the plumbing industry before realizing it held the very opportunity he had been searching for. What began as side jobs and a dream of owning a few rental properties eventually grew into one of the largest residential plumbing companies in the St. Louis area.
Charlie opens up about betting on himself, walking away from the security of a steady paycheck, and the difficult early years of entrepreneurship. He and Brandon dive into the power of coaching, the importance of staying coachable as a leader, and why personal growth must always outpace business growth. They also discuss building a culture that develops people, creating opportunities for teammates to succeed, and why surrounding yourself with the right people is one of the greatest competitive advantages an entrepreneur can have.
Throughout the conversation, Brandon and Charlie share lessons on leadership, vision, intentionality, and resisting the temptation to become comfortable after achieving success. Whether you’re just starting a business, leading a growing team, or looking for the next level in your entrepreneurial journey, this episode delivers practical wisdom from two business owners who continue to challenge themselves, invest in their people, and build organizations that are designed to last.
