How A Family Culture And Training Systems Grow A Plumbing Company
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Peakzi Podcast: You can feel the difference between a plumbing company that just “gets jobs done” and one that builds pros. I sit down with Kyle Breaker, the operations and service manager at Tureks Plumbing in Appleton, WI, to unpack what daily leadership looks like in the real world: staying on top of dispatch and follow-ups, supporting techs on live calls, and coaching people through pricing, options, and customer conversations without losing the human touch. If you run a home services business, you’ll hear how systems turn chaos into consistency, and how culture turns training into momentum.
Kyle also shares his personal path into the skilled trades. He was college-bound, visited the school he planned to attend, and chose a different route that led to 30 years in the plumbing industry. We get specific about why plumbing apprenticeships and employer-paid schooling can be a smarter financial and career bet for many people, plus what it takes to grow talent from “green” to confident technician. One of the most inspiring moments is the story of a 46 or 47-year-old who left a successful white-collar career to start over in plumbing and is now closing in on licensing through steady coaching and practice.
Then we shift into modern home services marketing and recruiting. Kyle explains how Peakzi helps them learn their market, track competitors, improve visibility, and generate qualified recruiting leads. We also talk about AI visibility and why it matters as customers increasingly search through new tools and platforms, plus the practical business outcome Tureks sees: more calls and more new customers.
If you want better technicians, stronger retention, and a home services brand that stays visible as the market changes, listen through to the end, then subscribe, share this with a service leader you respect, and leave a quick review so more contractors can find the show.

Peakzi Podcast: Home Services Success Stories
Welcome And Guest Introduction
Julian PlacinoWelcome to the Home Services Success Stories Podcast, powered by Peakzi, the number one AI platform for growing your home services business. I'm Julian Placino, your host, and we have another great show in store for you today. Because today we have Kyle Breaker, who is the operations and service manager at Tureks Plumbing. Kyle, welcome to the show. How are you doing?
Kyle BreakerI'm doing great, Julian. Thank you for taking your time today, and I look forward to this.
Julian PlacinoAbsolutely excited to have you on the show to learn more about your business and your role as a home services success leader. So let's jump in.
What An Ops Manager Does
Julian PlacinoSo, Kyle, tell us a bit about your role as operations and service manager at Turex Plumbing.
Kyle BreakerYeah, on a day-to-day, Julian, um, really what it comes down to is being aware of what's going on throughout the entire company from the office to the different divisions that we have, from the plumbing service division, we have a remodel division, along with uh SEAL Pipeline, which is another division of Tureks Plumbing. Knowing what's going on with the day-to-day, um, looking at it on the dispatch board to see if there's any follow-ups for me to follow up on. Obviously, following up on things that happen necessarily during the day, um, being available to answer questions from technicians during the day, along with uh call-by-call coaching, depending on uh what skill set they're at. Um, if they're out there in front of a customer and they need some help putting some options together or pricing together, help them through that, um, get any information to them as far as what they might necessarily need, and um seeing where we're at in basically all aspects of the business. And one of the things that I truly do enjoy is coaching and teaching people to improve their skills, not only you know, personally, but also professionally. Um, and that's something that I've really always had a passion for.
Julian PlacinoOkay, so it really is a mix of the operations of the business as well as the actual delivery. So you're hands-on with the coaching and leading of the technicians as well. Is that right?
Kyle BreakerYep, 100%. 100%.
Julian PlacinoGotcha.
From College Track To Plumbing
Julian PlacinoWell, give us a bit about your own backstory. Like what was your journey up to this role? Uh, did you come from the industry? Did you not? Give us a bit of context about that.
Kyle BreakerI was uh one of those young people in life that was bound for college and had my eyes set for that, and went and actually visited a college that I was accepted at, and just had this feeling in my gut for some reason that I just didn't think that was the path I wanted to take. And was very fortunate that growing up, my father did do construction. He would buy houses, renovate them, and sell them. And didn't know that as a kid, but it was something apparently that was something I really enjoyed and just decided to take that to the next level and get a plumbing license. Uh, also go to school for carpentry. And I've been fortunate in life that through life I have grown into all these different roles from new construction uh plumbing along with uh remodel work, along with service work on the plumbing side, onto lining and everything above and beyond. So it's it's been an extremely fun journey. What makes things easy for me in life is a lot of times I have the answers to the questions because I've done that or been in that role before. And I always tell people just by being a hard worker and you know, giving it your all and retaining knowledge, it'll put you places in this world. And I'm fortunate is that I'm an example of that's done that for me.
Julian PlacinoInteresting.
Why The Trades Made Sense
Julian PlacinoTell us a bit more about the discerning process of like going to college versus entering the trades, because I think now the thinking is is different, where some people are accepting that you know, college might not necessarily be the path for them. Some it could be others, right? But what was your thinking and what ultimately led you to saying yes to the trades?
Kyle BreakerThe reason I ventured into the trades is I had seen so many of my friends growing up uh that were older than me going to college, coming up with a degree, and a lot of them not necessarily full on using their degree and finding out financially a lot of my friends didn't have backing from their parents, didn't have grants or anything else like that, any assistance, what their debt was. And the the money wasn't the factor that pushed me towards it. In my mind, it's like the there was a high demand back then for people in the trades, people willing to work with their hands. Um, and I thought, what a great way to do it, to give back to people, to be in the customer service industry, to be able to provide these services, but yet actually have a license that will stay with you for the rest of your life that you actually have to obtain yourself, along with the fact that a lot of companies out there, if you get good grades, if you average at A to B, Turks Plumbing will pay for your schooling 100%. And what a lot of things people don't know is you actually get paid your hourly rate while you sit in school learning.
Julian PlacinoWow. So instead of like uh so instead of like going to college where you gotta pay to get the education here, you can kind of do both. It's a true win-win. Interesting, interesting. And
Serving End Customers On Purpose
Julian Placinoand how many, how long would you say you've been in the industry now?
Kyle Breaker30 years.
Julian Placino30 years. So how many home services companies did you work with, work for, uh, work how many were I've been fortunate.
Kyle BreakerI've only worked for two. So my my the first company I worked for, I worked for 12 years. They were doing solely new construction plumbing, which I love the work and everything else like that. And I just knew for advancement I needed to more around myself, have more experiences in life, and it brought me to Tureks. We're at Tureks, I've been here for 18 years. Nice, um, done pretty much every role from service plumber, install plumber, all those different things. And we solely focus on plumbing service work, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, and pipelining. We don't do anything new construction. One of our biggest things is we want to deal with the end user, the client, the customer. We want to be a direct deal with them to be able to build a relationship with them and not be a say subcontractor of necessarily somebody else.
Systems Meetings And Constant Training
Julian PlacinoGotcha. Okay. Well, it looks like you're already starting to touch on it. And given your insight, having been in the industry, what else do you think makes Tureks really stand out as a leader in home services?
Kyle BreakerI think one of the biggest things is the systems we have in place in the processes, which makes us really good at what we do. Not that we don't have good people on staff here, but that's very crucial to what we do. So people know what the standard is, what to follow along with that. Uh, another thing that's going to set us apart, and this affects our culture also, is we have at a minimum in the business, nine meetings every single week, from a service meeting to the project developers meeting to the office meeting. And in those meetings, you know, a lot of times, depending on what the need is, they'll focus on sales. The next meeting might focus on technical, there might be operations in there by having those meetings, not only uh staying up on the new technology, um, having meetings on sales as far as you know, doing role playing and everything else like that to improve each other. Another part of those meetings are again learning from experiences. One of the things I've told people in lives is, you know, the reason I have the knowledge I have is because I've just been in a lot of experience and I've learned and retained. Well, when you put a whole bunch of people in the same room and someone had an experience that was memorable, that they ran into, and they have the ability to share that situation and share that knowledge with everybody else in the room just makes us better. So I want to say it's definitely going to be the constant learning that we do and the training that we provide. Because one of those things also that sets us apart, and you know, is we're tied with a company called Blue Collar Success Group, which, from a training aspect, everybody in the entire company at some point goes to training, whether it's going to be virtual, we actually send people off-site even to different states weeks at a time to attend their different seminars and their coaching things that they have opportunities they have, along with everybody at, no matter where they're at in their career or what position they hold here. We all have coaches for different necessary reasons. Uh, for example, I have a coach, I meet with him at least once a month. And with that blue-collar success group, that's even incorporated into our weekly meetings, meaning every Tuesday, it's just like what we're doing right now, sitting in the Zoom meeting, it's live and everything, and they have different topics they talk about as things were come up. And this is from companies all over the United States. You know, you can unmute your mic, you can chime in, and you're you're learning from all these different great people in the same industry that have a lot of like minds learning from each other. And I think that's the biggest thing that sets us apart.
Julian PlacinoWell, so I heard a couple things there. Number one, you said systems. So there's a pattern of repeatability. You've been around in business for a long time, so there's a method that you do that works. Uh, so you stick to that. And the second, it really just seems like the development of the people as leaders, as technicians, industry sharing, and always like trying to level up. So let's start to go into that a bit in terms of talent, culture, and hiring.
Family Culture Hiring And Real Perks
Julian PlacinoYou already mentioned so much about the training, but um, how many employees now at Tureks?
Kyle BreakerUh don't hold me to it, but I think 25.
Julian Placino25. Okay. So, how would you describe the culture at Tureks?
Kyle BreakerI would describe the culture as uh like a family, if you want to call it that. Um, you know, we we with the size that we are, we're fortunate at that size that with the culture we have, everybody knows everybody's name, everybody knows everybody's significant other. Um, we plan events throughout the year from golfing to our annual Christmas party. Um, and the reason I say family culture is I'll use a classic example this morning. One of the guys out in the shop, one of our service techs, uh set up a March Madness board that I think three-quarters of everybody here are on it. So just to have that culture to let something like that even happen is we got people on flag football teams together from here. Um, so it's a lot of a family, family aspect, I would say. Um, but not to the point where it's it's it's overstepping it bounds, if you know what I mean. Um, but definitely a family atmosphere that I think everybody enjoys. Everybody truly cares about each other. With that atmosphere, it does make things easier around here, too. Where guess what? There's a later call on a board, and someone's got something to do with their family, someone else will step up. The willingness to help is um, you know, through that culture and everything.
Julian PlacinoGotcha. Okay. Awesome.
Kyle BreakerAnd tied to that culture allows for better learning, meaning people are more free to open up and explain things in different situations they've ran into and learn from. And again, they're just willing to share. It's it's engagement, it's not me sitting in front of the meeting talking about different things. You know, people will engage in that. And yeah, sometimes it might lead us down a rabbit hole, but it's all good information that's all being shared in that room.
Julian PlacinoSo let's say that you know, a top talent is watching this podcast and listening to you speak right now. Like, what are some reasons you think top talent should come work at Tureks versus any other home services company?
Kyle BreakerI think the the biggest thing is gonna be the the willingness for us to make investments into our employees, the the amount of time that we spend training, you know. Not a lot of companies will say, hey, guess what? You're not gonna work for a week, we're sending you here, and you know, think that's necessarily a good thing. Um, not a lot of companies will take, you know, an hour or two hours out of a day where we could be being productive to invest that time into the training. So we really invest into the people we have, and no matter what stage they would come to us, you know, our hope is to improve them and make them even better. And with the different systems and processes and training and everything that we do, believe it or not, a lot of our people are what I call homegrown here, where they come to us with you know, drive, ambition, and work ethic, but don't know anything about the industry whatsoever, we can teach all the other stuff because the stuff I just mentioned is is the hardest things to teach. Everything else we can necessarily teach them when we have the tools to necessarily do it.
Julian PlacinoLove that. Love that. Yeah, so um so it really feels like you know, the team building, the training, the learning and development culture. Um, anything else in terms of like perks or benefits that you think are worth mentioning to share kind of the overall employment value proposition at Tureks?
Kyle BreakerYeah, um, obviously, like a lot of other companies, you know, we have vacation. Um, something that we also have that I don't know how many companies out there have is we have what's called PTO time. And what it is is personal time off. Um it's set up to encourage people to show up on time and not call in. For example, if you go through a quarter of the year, you basically get eight hours of PTO time, which is a vacation day. If you go through the entire calendar year, not only do you get four, you get five. Um, everything from 401k, things like that, to little things. Um, one of the things I'll mention is if it's for their personal home or for their immediate family, we allow them to purchase any materials at cost. We allow them to use company vehicles from service trucks to remodel trailers. Um, if say someone's moving furniture, we have an enclosed cargo trailer that could be used at any time, along with say someone's throwing junk away or moving dirt, dump trailers. You have access to uh equipment here that you know maybe a lot of our companies would necessarily do.
Julian PlacinoIt sounds like you have a lot of resources to set your team up for success. So I think those are all a really great points. So thanks for mentioning that, Kyle.
Leading With Openness And Respect
Julian PlacinoUm, so next I want to talk a little bit about your own personal like leadership philosophy, obviously in a very influential part within the organization. Um, and a lot of folks want to know who is the leadership of this company and how do they run the business, right? So, since you've worked in virtually every role within the business, what are some of the key philosophies that you have when it comes to leading your team members and growing the business?
Kyle BreakerWell, one of the things that hits on that aspect is what I always tell people is you know, everybody plays a role, everybody pays a part. You know, from the the youth apprenticeship high school kid that comes in for maybe half the day, his role is just as important as what mine is. If he doesn't do his, I can't do mine. If I do mine, he can't do his. So that's what creates that team atmosphere. And everybody's an individual, but the great part about the culture we've created, and from the way I like to lead, is everybody's just as important as the other person. And I will always tell people is I'm not smarter than anybody else. I've just had more experiences and learned from them, and I have the ability to share that with them. And by sharing that with them, by also, except for right now, the door is always open. It doesn't matter if someone's here for one day or for 10 years, if someone thinks of an idea as far as a better way to do it, do a process, for example, we are all open ears, 100%. Um, the other thing is I like to be, you know, always available for everybody and anybody that's here as much as I can, minus being in meetings here and there, is so they know that I got their back, you know, and when I'm communicating with them, they might not know at the time, but they are learning in that moment of that normal conversation and they might not necessarily even know it. And I take pride in that. I take pride in, you know, helping people and making them, you know, more knowledgeable, better at what they do. And in essence, that should trickle to our customers and our clients and should be shown through that.
Julian PlacinoYeah, I think um, so a couple of things I got there. Is number one, you really do not just lip service, but value every team member. You have a very open door policy which allows for collaboration and and input, which really facilitates that learning environment. And I think those are all really great points. Um, can you think of a particular story or anyone on your team that
A Midlife Career Switch Success
Julian Placinoyou think sort of exemplifies like real career growth? You know, if they if if someone comes in and really puts their all into working for Tureks.
Kyle BreakerUm I can think of a lot of different examples, but I I choose this one just because it's a little bit of a different path for an individual. We had a gentleman come into us here, and at the time he was 46 or 47 years old, uh, was in uh the white-collar industry, had a very successful job uh doing what he was doing, uh making a really good salary. And he decided one day that he wanted to get into a customer service role doing something. And for some reason, he chose plumbing as his path, even at the age of uh 46, 47. Yeah. And he was greener than green. And just by us taking the time and you know, training him and coaching him and all those great things, Jeff is just finishing up his last year at school right now, um, which is a five-year program. He's gonna be taking a state test, and he is doing a fantastic job. He's he's very thorough in explaining things to people, giving them options. It's just been really cool to see him grow, you know, not only as a technician, but as a person with all the things that uh he's learned since he's came on and decided to change that career path. That, you know, it it was just really cool to see.
Julian PlacinoYou know what's really inspiring about that, Kyle, is that there is so much in the corporate world about like ageism, right? But what's interesting, at least in this one particular use case, is that it doesn't matter how old you are, if you have the humility, if you have earnestness and you're willing to work, I mean, you're welcoming to all, right? Because I mean outcomes and results are the name of the game. And um, I think that is I I wish that is a much more prevalent um topic that's actually discussed about because the trades really does seem much more kind of like uh results and outcome based versus like anything political, you know what I'm saying? It's either you you can do it or not, you know? 100%.
Kyle BreakerAnd I've we're definitely not, you know, I've heard stories from from other companies, and I'm I'm friends with a lot of other plumbing companies, electrical companies, and stuff like that, where like they would bring someone in that just turned into a rock star and literally I think they worked at Pizza Hut. You know, it's just keeping your mind open and just you know, looking at the person at the as the individual and realizing what's in front of you and what they can necessarily be, not not judging them by who they are right there and there in that moment.
Julian PlacinoWow. I think uh we need to tell a lot more stories about that because that really isn't inspiring because you know, man, it's a tough time in the corporate world right now, you know, when it comes to um all sorts of different skill sets that used to be so highly employable, like people are trying to reinvent themselves. So um, I think those are really great points. So um, so Kyle, let's shift gears a bit. Um,
Using Peakzi For Market Insight
Julian Placinoas you know, the sh the show is powered by Peakzi and you are a Peakzi customer. So um if you would share it with our viewers, what is Peakzi in your experience?
Kyle BreakerYou know, in my experience, it's it's what I take a lot away from it is you know, knowing what's going on in the markets around us. Um, you know, I've always been a firm believer that we're gonna do our best and then we're gonna give it our all. And, you know, we can only affect what's happening around us, but learning from our market, where it's at, where it's trending to, what's up, what's down, you know, what's going on with our competitors, what is what are they doing? Um, you know, what's their market share of our market? Where are we standing with that, along with top performers in our market? You know, what what what does that look like to them? You know, where are they at? So it's really good as far as on that side of it, that aspect. But another aspect that I really do enjoy also is on the recruitment side. You know, they're they're sending uh potential candidates, looking for candidates for us that are qualified leads, like you know, people worth bringing in and talking to. And obviously, I talked about how, you know, I'll talk to almost anybody, but it's it's it's someone that typically has the skills or the background already and is just looking for maybe a change or something like that, where they're willing to come and sit down with us, where if we didn't have Pixie, that's something and an aspect that would not be happening. And we're fortunate in our market that with all the right things that we're doing, we are growing. In essence, we need more people, and sometimes it's not the easiest to find those people or find us to the right people. Where I feel like with them, that the candidates that we get are of a really good caliber, if that makes sense.
Julian PlacinoNice. So a couple of benefits I heard. Number one, sort of the market insights, helping you sort of benchmark, see where you're strong at, where you may need some improvement at, how you rank within the market. And the second piece um that you benefited from is the recruitment piece. So um also providing candidates that are tailored towards your shape, uh kind of your needs. I think those are great. So, how would you fill in this sentence? Use Peaksy to help you do what?
Kyle BreakerLearn your market.
Julian PlacinoCool. All right, awesome. Love that, love that.
Kyle BreakerAnd and where you stand in your market and how you're viewed. Viewed would be, I didn't mention that, viewed would be one of the huge ones. Like that, that I look at every week when they send over the update, and it's it's very important. And then, you know, I know I'm adding a much words to this, you know, learning from Pixie what the right things to do are. We're all willing to do stuff, but what are the correct things to do to be more visible out there in the world on all the different levels?
Julian PlacinoLove it. The right things to be visible based on data, not assumptions. I think that's good. So you've been, I mean, you've been in the industry for a long time.
AI Visibility That Drives More Calls
Julian PlacinoYou've seen the changes, you certainly have gone through the whole phase with like, you know, pay-per-click and Google search. So so, how important do you think AIB? Visibility is to home services now and moving forward?
Kyle BreakerI think it's huge. It really is. And the reason that I say that is, you know, all of the younger, you know, all different generations are different. And with the upcoming generations that we have, that is way so more crucial than obviously, you know, the people back in the day. And I've even seen, you know, older people, the older generation, I'm not going to name exactly like how old they are. But with that being said, like with smartphones, with you know being on doing things that I normally wouldn't think that I would see. So with that, knowing that, I think AI is and PC is huge. It's worked for us. Um, it's it's proven itself from that to all the different i i things, the things that we do. I'm a firm believer in our industry. If if if you want to continue to have growth or be in the market and and hold a share that you have to be somehow tied to AI for sure.
Julian PlacinoYeah, and it really is. Um, as you mentioned, it's how are people consuming information? How are they seeking for information nowadays? And increasingly, of course, it's ChatGPT, it's Gemini, it's grok. So what are you doing to be visible on those platforms? I think that's a great point. Um, do you have much uh hands-on experience with the AI visibility tracker?
Kyle BreakerI I I view it and and and I and I learn from it. Um, more of that stuff would be Christy, our office manager. She's more up to date on all that stuff. I I've I'll say this. I know enough to be dangerous. And I know enough to see the results and realize what it's doing for us.
Julian PlacinoOkay. So then from that perspective, then, what can you see it from a glance? Like what were the highlights of the information it gives you to help run the business?
Kyle BreakerUm, well, as far as tracking, you know, our our call volume numbers are up, uh, higher than they've ever been. So, you know, we have more of a workload than we've ever had necessarily before. Um, along with that, it's helped us from all aspects to the you know, all the different socials we're on and what we're just we're a lot more visible. And I think by being a lot more visible, that's why going back to what I said previously is we're we're getting more calls. We're getting more, we have a huge, great customer base that that is is just amazing. But the the volume of new customers that we're getting to call us, I think is a direct reflection because of what Peakzi does for us.
Julian PlacinoNice. So you can actually measure the impact, increase calls. So that's really, really great. So uh so Kyle, before we begin to close anything, close this out. Um, anything else you want to mention about Peakzi?
Kyle BreakerI've I'm really glad that when we're when we met them, and it was actually at a blue-collar success group function at Acceleration Days, is when we actually met them and we came back and and we discussed it with the uh the owner of the company here, and he was on board. And that's that just sticks in my head to this day when we started talking to him, and it's just something that automatically just made sense for for who we are as far as a company, and I'm just really glad that that we're on board with them.
Julian PlacinoAwesome. Well, we certainly appreciate you being a customer. We look forward to your continued success on the platform. So uh so Kyle, we'd like to close the show with uh kind of a fun lightning round and just to kind of get to know you a bit more.
Lightning Round And The Legacy
Julian PlacinoSo if you're ready for it, let's kind of jump into that. Okay. Sure. Awesome. So um, in your years of experience in home services, what would you say is the funniest service call or customer moment you've ever experienced?
Kyle BreakerOne of the most memorable ones I've ever had was I was years ago going up to do uh an estimate for a customer that was up north at a cottage, I want to say about an hour from our shop. And I went out there, built a relationship with them, talked about a lot of different things, got to lay the land, and through conversations, because obviously I talk a lot. Um, he was on water and he had a pontoon boat, and we were talking about boating. And that day, at that estimate, I got on his boat and actually rode around the entire lake um with him, explaining like uh the lake and everything else like that. And it was a unique moment that was extremely enjoyable, and we laughed a lot, and that was definitely something not expected, but a lot of fun.
Julian PlacinoThat sounded like fun, an adventure, and what a memorable moment indeed. So um, so so Kyle, we know you've been in in home uh services for uh a very long time, but what would you say is an interesting or surprising fact about yourself?
Kyle BreakerI honestly don't think there's any because I talk about it.
Julian PlacinoThere's gotta be, you gotta have something.
Kyle BreakerI'm pretty much like a blank slate. I think everybody knows everything about me.
Julian PlacinoUm interesting talents, hidden talents, interesting hobbies.
Kyle BreakerUm used to race a lot of motocross back in the day. There you go, that's cool. Yeah, that was a lot of fun. I was just a young kid and always thought dirt bikes were cool and got a little one and just kind of progressed from there and had a lot of fun doing it, and uh had a lot of great experiences and met a lot of friends, and not a lot of people in my area were into dirt bikes, so it was it was a cool adventure. But I don't think a lot of people actually that I think about that know that about me around here.
Julian PlacinoAnd now the world knows, and we kept the video, so there's Kal's interesting fact. What would you say is the the future of home services or specifically the plumbing industry in one word or phrase?
Kyle BreakerTechnicians.
Julian PlacinoOkay. Expand a little bit on that. I know I just said one word, but what does that mean?
Kyle BreakerWhat it means is you know, the the future is that the technicians out in the field with having the right skills and and and being able to perform the work, you know, communicate with customers. Um they're they're the backbone of the industry, you know. AI is is great for a lot of things. I just can't ever see it actually replacing the two hands. You know, um, there's a lot of things that that's gonna replace in the future going down the road, but that's something that that it can't, where we have to have these qualified trained technicians, we have to have people wanting to work with their hands and and wanting to be in the industry. Um, the demand is only gonna keep going higher. We don't decrease in population, we increase. So there's more houses, there's more apartments, there's more, I mean, you name it, hospitals, I mean, anything and above that, they're all gonna need plumbing, electrical, heating. That's that's not gonna stop happening. And it's gonna have to be done by technicians out in the field.
Julian PlacinoSo technicians, and that leaves great opportunity for the world of home services, given everything that you mentioned. So, last question here for you, uh, Kyle. So, what kind of legacy do you want to leave behind in home services and your career overall?
Kyle BreakerI'm gonna say honesty, honest, ethical. You know, I always tell people do unto others as you wish them to do unto you. Treat others as you wish them to treat you, um, respect others. But the the biggest thing would be, you know, honesty and and being ethical with everybody, all the work you do, any anything in life. And I think that would be in a two-word sentence, you know, probably that would explain it the best.
Julian PlacinoHonesty and ethical. I think those are uh great points to close on. So, Kyle, this has been a lot of fun getting to know you. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. If you would close us out with your website, your social handles, how do folks connect with you?
Kyle BreakerUm, that's a good one. So, as far as our our website, it's gonna be www.tureksplumbing.com. On there, you'll see all of the different things that we do along with that. As far as if someone's looking for a career, you can apply there and everything. Um, I honestly don't know. Kristi handles all of that as far as the Facebook, Instagram, and everything. I see stuff on there a lot that she has a lot to do with that, along with another group that we're tied to, but I don't know exactly off the top of my head what those are.
Julian PlacinoOkay. Well, we'll make sure to uh to get that information and plug that in the show notes so all folks will be able to connect with you. So, Kyle, again, really great to connect with you, and we certainly wish you uh and Turix all the continued success.
