The Wealthy Contractor
A podcast for home improvement business owners on scaling with proven marketing, sales, and leadership strategies.
A tactical business podcast for the home services industry, hosted by a veteran entrepreneur who has built and sold multiple companies in the space. Episodes are a mix of the host's solo commentary on systems and mindset, interviews with other multi-million dollar contractors, and clips from his live events. The show relentlessly focuses on moving from being a tradesperson who owns a job to an entrepreneur who owns a scalable business.
“Unlike general business podcasts, this show is hyper-focused on the home improvement industry, with a host who has direct experience in the trade. It stands out for its emphasis on tangible metrics, profitability, and building a business that can run without the owner, rather than just celebrating top-line revenue.”

What you'll be asked on this show
Brian Kaskavalciyan's interview style is that of a knowledgeable peer digging for replicable tactics. He typically opens by asking the guest to outline their current business to establish scale and credibility. He then actively listens for key strategies (like canvassing or a specific marketing channel) and drills down with a series of pointed, quantitative questions: 'How many?', 'How do you pay them?', 'Is it profitable?'. He often paraphrases a guest's point to confirm his understanding and solidify the lesson for his listeners before moving to the next topic. His questioning aims to reverse-engineer the guest's success for the audience's benefit.
The show alternates between solo episodes where host Brian Kaskavalciyan shares specific business frameworks, and long-form interviews with other successful contractors. In interviews, Brian acts as a guide, using the guest's story to extract actionable lessons for the audience. The podcast also features clips and presentations from his annual 'Accelerate LIVE!' event.
