In this episode, Shea and Duke from Aloha Plumbing share how they started their business from the ground up. Before the trucks and steady calls, they were knocking on doors with flyers, looking for their first opportunity and hoping someone would give them a chance.They talk about how they landed their first customer, how they slowly built trust in their community, and how their company grew into a family based business. They also explain why they offer free inspections, how they handle common plumbing emergencies, and why they believe clients should never feel pressured when making decisions about their home.This conversation is about hard work, consistency, and building something the right way.


Hosted by Naja Faysal, founder of Parrots Lab Media, The Moon Shooters Podcast turns its focus to the dynamic and often overlooked economic landscape of California's Inland Empire. This isn't about distant corporate giants; it's a close-up on the ground-level hustle and vision shaping communities from Riverside to San Bernardino. Each conversation pulls back the curtain on the real journeys of local leaders and entrepreneurs-the setbacks, the breakthroughs, and the hard-won lessons that don't make it into typical business headlines. You'll hear founders discuss the specific challenges of scaling a venture in this region, alongside the unique opportunities that make it a fertile ground for innovation. The dialogue goes beyond inspiration to practical insight, aiming to forge connections and share strategies that actively support the ecosystem. By highlighting these stories, the podcast creates a resource for anyone invested in the area's commercial vitality, whether they're running a startup or considering a new venture. Tune in for genuine, detailed conversations that map the human ambition behind local growth, one episode at a time.
