In Episode 21 of the OutWork'em Podcast by OutWorkem Digital, host Ryan Kearney sits down with John Hinton, owner-operator of Desert Pool Tech and five-time consecutive winner of Best of the Valley for pool cleaning and service. John shares his incredible journey from working at Discount Tire while attending seminary to building a thriving pool service business that's dominated the Phoenix market for half a decade.

• Work-life harmony philosophy - How John balances running a successful business with jiu jitsu training and family life
• Essential business books - The game-changing reads that transformed John from hands-on operator to true business owner

John also opens up about the challenges of transitioning from doing everything himself to building a team, the importance of customer service over speed, and how his faith has guided every major business decision.

Whether you're in the home service industry or any other trade, John's story offers invaluable insights on building a reputation-based business, hiring the right people, and creating systems that scale.
