You don’t need passion for plumbing. Love the people in it

In this short advisory monologue, the speaker argues that digital marketing agencies should select a niche based on personal experience or affinity rather than pure passion. He emphasizes that any market can be served, but choosing one you understand and enjoy interacting with leads to better results. Using plumbing and HVAC as a concrete example, he notes that while he isn’t deeply passionate about the home‑services trade, he appreciates the people in the industry, the consistent high demand for their services, and the satisfaction of seeing those clients succeed. The core message is that love for the people and market dynamics outweighs the need for personal passion when picking a niche.
