Okay, let's do it. This should be fun. So first things first, the name of the business is called ChecklistHomeServices.com. And what year did you start it in?

116.815 - 129.398 Nathan Latka

Congratulations. That's exciting. So 2011 was the start date. And again, I just in the bio gave a little overview as to why you started, but you might have a different take. Why did you start the business?

130.711 - 165.831 Liz Picarazzi

So I started the business because I was a consumer of home services, doing a lot of the handiwork and the home improvements around my house. And in the situations when I needed to hire an outside contractor to come and help, I In really all cases, I was either disappointed or underwhelmed and recognized a gap in the marketplace for professionally run handyman services.

165.811 - 184.967 Liz Picarazzi

In the trades, customer experience is not really a term that's used, but in the world that I was in, that's what I was focused on. So I really thought, well, what if I marry up my expertise in customer marketing and creating great customer experiences
