A short YouTube video (Phil Risher, Jan 3, 2026) arguing that high-performing home service companies treat culture as infrastructure by prioritizing human development and retention over technical trades. The speaker advises leaders to focus organizational energy on finding, developing, and keeping good people—framing the business as the "human" business rather than HVAC or plumbing—and warns that companies that churn employees do a disservice to their community.

When we work with an organization, who are we looking for? We're looking for leaders who realize they are not in the H Vac business. They're not in the plumbing business. They are in the human business. Finding good humans, developing good humans, keeping good humans. Their humans can be in the H Vac business. Yes, but they are never going to be in that business. 100% of their mindset energy focus is on the humans. It's not the candidate, it's the company. It's not that people don't want to work. They don't want to work for you. Yeah, exactly. Either decide you're going to win at this game of developing, helping humans, or just get out of the business because you're doing your community a disservice when you churn through people. If you can get that right, you can be in any business. Absolutely.
