Operation Entrepreneur Freedom - Design a Business That Runs (and Grows) Without You
Operation Entrepreneur Freedom is the no-nonsense podcast for remodelers, contractors, and service business owners who are tired of grinding in the day-to-day and ready to actually scale.
Hosted by Chad Murray — a veteran entrepreneur who built, scaled, and exited a 7-figure service company and now runs a marketing agency — this show gives you both sides of growth:
👉 The coaching to lead, hire, and systemize your business.
👉 The marketing to attract quality clients without Angi, Thumbtack, or wasted ad spend.
Each week you’ll get straight-talk strategies to:
- Step out of daily operations without losing control
- Hire and lead a team that actually performs
- Systemize your business so it runs without you
- Master modern marketing that fills your pipeline with the right jobs
- Build a business that’s profitable, sellable, and gives you true freedom
No fluff. No guru jargon. Just real, tactical conversations for service pros who want more income, more control, and more life outside the business box.
