Jake Pisher shares his journey from nursing assistant to the founder of Helpful Badger Handyman Services, emphasizing customer care and preventative maintenance.

In this episode of Titan Talks, Sam from Topline Pro sits down with Jake Pisher of Helpful Badger Handyman Services in Portland, Oregon.
