Now, your host, the Home Service Millionaire, Tommy Mello. Hey there, Home Service expert. Tommy Mello back here with you. I've got

Nathan Hurch on the phone. Nathan, how's your day going today? I'm doing great, Tommy. How are you?

I'm having a great day. The weather's perfect out right now and excited to have you on.

You know, Nathan, you started your entrepreneurial journey early on. I mean, you just told me you were in college, just looking for some extra beer money, and you stumbled on to something huge.

Can you tell the audience out here exactly what you do and how you've become who you are today?

Yeah, so it's funny.

My parents were both teachers.

So I always had the mentality that I would get good grades in high school,

go to college, get good grades, get a job, maybe an internship for a job, work for 30, 40 years,

retire, have a family, and that would be my life. And from a young age, my parents always had

me do these internships. They would have me work 40 hours a week every summer. And so when I was doing these internships,

I quickly realized that this wasn't what I wanted my life to be. I didn't want to work 40 hours

a week for someone else. I didn't want to be stuck with no freedom, no flexibility. And so I knew

that I wanted to be an entrepreneur. I wasn't really sure how.

And when I got to college, they had an entrepreneur program that was just getting started.

And I remember one of the teachers got up and said, if you want financial freedom, the only way to do it is to become an entrepreneur.

And that really stuck with me.
