About this episode
David interviews Fred and Christine Hodge about their journey in building a successful exterior cleaning business.
David is joined by Fred and Christine Hodge, the husband-and-wife owners of Clearview Washing in New Jersey, who built their business from a $500 startup in 2004 to $2.4 million in annual revenue and a spot on the Inc. 5000 list in 2024. They break down what it actually takes to push through the $300K ceiling and scale to seven figures, from building field and office systems while one partner is still on the truck to the exact hiring order Christine recommends at the $250K-$500K mark, why $500K to $1M is the hardest stretch in the business, and how to run a company together as a married couple without letting it erode your family.
