840. The Contract You Didn't Read Will Be the One That Burns You
About this episode
In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a recent mess that cost me time, stress — and $3,900 in unpaid invoices. We're talking subcontractor agreements, payment clauses, and the brutal truth about working with national brokers. If you've ever trusted a handshake or skimmed the fine print, this is your wake-up call. I'll walk you through what happened with a major snow contract, why I'm chasing money that should've already been paid, and the contract clause that changed everything. Learn from my mistakes — so you don't get burned next season.
