Episode Overview
Brooke and Allie Riley, Co-owners of Riley Plumbing, Heating & Air, join the show to discuss leveraging AI in the trades to transform a 25-year-old business. Brooke, who started the company at age 19 in 1999, shares the “whiplash” experience of moving from paper maps to running a fully AI-powered remote location in Reno with zero office staff. Allie explains how she optimized operational workflows by introducing ServiceTitan and using AI voice agents to automate 100% of their inbound call taking. The Rileys provide a masterclass in change management, revealing how they use AI to give their team “superpowers” and why fighting automation is no longer an option for contractors who want to thrive.
