In this episode, I sit down with Matt and Joni from Sonoma Strong Hauling to hear one of the most incredible comeback stories I’ve ever encountered. Matt opens up about his journey from prison and rehab to working a $15-an-hour job at Safeway, all while trying to restart his life at age 35.

We dive deep into the "candy dish" marketing strategy they used to win over realtors and how they turned a beat-up pickup truck into a business netting 35% margins on $50,000 a month. This conversation is a masterclass in how constraints equal creativity and why "closed mouths don't get fed" in the world of entrepreneurship.
