John Block didn't build Unity Partners by being the smartest guy in the room. He built it by making sure he never was. As the founder of one of the fastest-growing private equity firms in home services, John has a framework that most operators never hear โ and it has nothing to do with hustle, willpower, or grinding harder than everyone else.
In this episode, John breaks down why chasing revenue is the wrong game, what private equity actually looks for before acquiring a home service company, and the one mindset shift that separates operators who plateau from those who build something that lasts.
If you're running a home service business and you feel like you've hit a ceiling
โ this episode is the reason why, and exactly what to do about it. What you'll learn:
โ Why being the dumbest person in the room is the smartest move you can make
โ The difference between building bigger and building better
โ and why it matters
โ What PE firms actually measure beyond EBITDA
โ The "who not how" principle and how to apply it to your team right now
โ Why most operators overestimate what they'll do in a year and underestimate the hockey stick
