Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers blue-collar brilliance with Ben Jordan — a former trades worker who started with a two-man plumbing operation and scaled it into a $75M multi-state empire, and lost 204 pounds while doing it.

Ben exposes why 90% of home service businesses stay stuck under $2 million, why a salesman outperforms a plumber every time, and how getting his body right unlocked a completely different business. He also breaks down the subscription model, his five-day-a-week training system, and why he's turning down private equity to build the largest trades training organization in America.

The trades are the most underestimated wealth vehicle in America — and this man built the blueprint. Grab a pen.
