Jason Call & Allen Lee

Coby McManaman built his handyman business to over $1 million in annual revenue... and then watched it all come crashing down.

In this powerful episode of the Handyman Success Podcast, Allen Lee and Jason Call sit down with Coby to unpack the entire journey—the decisions that fueled his incredible growth, the mistakes that led to bankruptcy, and the hard-earned lessons that every business owner needs to hear.

This isn't just another success story. It's an honest conversation about the realities of scaling too fast, managing cash flow, building the right systems, leading a team, and what happens when things don't go according to plan. Most importantly, Coby shares what he would do differently if he had the chance to start over.

Whether you're just getting started or already running a growing handyman business, this episode could save you from making some very expensive mistakes.
