Surefire Local Podcast: Thought Leader Interview with Danny Kerr of Breakthrough Academy

Thanks for listening to the Surefire Local podcast!

Here at Surefire, we’ve had the unique opportunity to talk with hundreds of successful business owners in the home services space, not to mention work closely with inspiring thought leaders in digital marketing and tech. This podcast is one of the ways we’re giving back to that amazing community.

How does one go about professionalizing companies in an industry that’s traditionally—and still largely—unprofessional?

Listen in on our host and special guest as they go deep into three areas that pose a big challenge to remodelers and home services contractors, both fledgling and decades-old: hiring, business planning, and KPIs. Danny, whose personal success story is one for the books, talks about the value of constant problem-solving, of attracting the right kind of people to the right positions, and of balancing “getting s*** done” and “thinking through s***.”

If you’re one of the many business owners struggling with the shift from working IN your company to working ON it, this is one episode you don’t want to miss.

“[Go] from being a boss who’s telling people what to do all the time to being a coach who helps someone meet their goals.” —Danny Kerr

Hi there! I’m Steve – a Marketing Manager at Surefire Local. My passions include marketing, writing, and dreaming up stories of what could be. I’m driven by my desire to want to help small business owners succeed through creative content marketing and branding. I believe the best type of marketing taps into the power of storytelling and connects with people on a personal level. When marketing is done right, there’s no greater feeling than seeing the lasting impact you have on someone’s life after they’ve engaged with your brand.
