In this episode of The Hidden Hustle, we sit down with Brian Buresh — founder of Buresh Home Solutions and The Modern Contractor. Brian shares how he spent 15 years letting his business run his life before finally transforming everything.
Through cold plunges, mindset shifts, and strategic delegation, he doubled his revenue, built a thriving team, and reclaimed his time. We talk about what it really takes to grow a home services business, the dangers of burnout, the power of culture, and why customer experience beats sales tactics every time.
Brian also breaks down his unique marketing strategy — including how self-deprecating TV commercials outperformed the usual gimmicks — and what most contractors get wrong about leadership. If you're an entrepreneur stuck in survival mode, this episode is your wake-up call.
