Trevor Steel and Shawn Day - Holiday Lights, AI, Hiring NOW, Indeed.com and more.

Holiday Lights, AI & Hiring NOW | Trevor Steele x Shawn Day | Hire Lead Chill Shawn Day sits down with Trevor Steele, founder of Comet Lighting and Steel Realty, out of Pawleys Island, South Carolina. Trevor started a pressure washing company at 16, failed more than once, and built it back up. He then turned his off-season Christmas light work into a full holiday and permanent lighting brand. They get real about what it takes to grow a home service business today. That covers hiring technicians fast when the season sneaks up on you, why the owners who sell their companies for big money stay reachable to their people, and the “time, money, control” rule: you can only have two. Trevor also shows how he uses AI to run Comet Lighting, from an all-in-one ops hub to instant house mockups in ChatGPT. He shares the voice app that changed how he works, and they debate whether AI will take jobs, why there might be a bubble, and why putting your face on camera matters more than ever. In this episode: 00:00 Intro: Hire Lead Chill, every Tuesday 01:39 Who is Trevor Steele: from pressure washing at 16 to Comet Lighting 02:29 Hiring 15 technicians in a couple of days with Hire Lead Chill 04:23 Getting into Christmas lights and documenting the startup 06:28 The mentors and connections that made the difference 08:36 From “nobody gets my number” to giving it out like candy 11:37 What business owners who sell their companies have in common 14:40 Why some owners stay stuck at $1M 15:12 Time, money, control: you can only have two 22:50 Where the framework came from (Mickey Lyles) 24:20 What’s new in holiday and permanent lighting 27:20 AI house mockups with ChatGPT 29:40 The app to download right now: Wispr Flow 32:30 Should you build your own software?

We’re officially LIVE across YouTube, Facebook, and Turf’s Up Radio as Shawn Day and Dan Plata sit down for a candid, behind-the-scenes conversation about how Hire Lead Chill and Best Damn Bookkeeping came together. In this episode, they dive into the real story—how a cleaning business sale turned into a long-term partnership, the early days of Blue Sky Services, and what it actually looked like to buy, scale, and operate multiple home service businesses at high speed. From cash-flow scrambles to rapid acquisitions, this conversation pulls back the curtain on the lessons, loyalty, and chaos that shaped their journey. If you’re a home service business owner, entrepreneur, or someone building a team, this live discussion offers honest insights into growth, partnerships, leadership, and what it really takes to scale.
