Justin Smith started his first business at 25 after realizing he was doing the work for someone else and could probably do it himself.

One Yellow Pages ad later, his phone exploded.

Within a month, Justin says he was booked for roughly five months, had upgraded from an Oldsmobile to a new truck, and had his dad and brother working with him.

Today, Justin owns Smitty’s Home Renovations, focusing on bathrooms, kitchens, and full-home renovations throughout South Florida.

In this episode of the Gold Coast Podcast, Eric Winegard and Justin talk about taking the entrepreneurial leap, treating renovation as an art form, building trust with homeowners, learning not to take on too many projects at once, and the challenge of moving from doing everything yourself to actually scaling a company.

They also dive into marketing, the “messy middle” of the customer journey, personal growth, discipline, sobriety, and why getting the next customer remains one of the most important parts of any business.
