Episode Details

In this episode of To The Point Home Services VIP Room, Aaron Gaynor and Chad Peterman sit down with Josh Campbell, Founder of Rescue Air & Plumbing, to discuss his incredible journey through the home services industry.

Josh shares how he grew up in a family of tradesmen, started his first company at a young age, built it into a successful business, and navigated the challenges of the 2008 financial crisis before ultimately selling the company and starting over in Texas.

From there, Josh built Rescue Air into one of the most respected home services companies in the country, eventually completing a private equity transaction while maintaining the culture and values that fueled the company's growth.

The conversation covers entrepreneurship, resilience, leadership, private equity, company culture, adding new trades, coaching, personal development, sales, operations, and what it really takes to build a great business.

Josh also shares lessons from scaling multiple companies, the importance of being coachable, why many owners stay stuck, and how continuous learning became one of the biggest drivers of his success.
