Last week we had a major plumbing issue at the shop and I needed some professionals to take a look.
I called Ricky with Wilson Brothers Plumbing Inc..
I originally met Ricky by way of a leadership/book club thing hosted by Pinnacle Bank. Regina Jennings brought a group of local business owners together every week, and Rickyās wife and son were part of it. Through that connection, Ricky and I got to know each other. What started as an introduction has turned into a friendship that I genuinely value.
Ricky and his service manager Josh showed up almost immediately. After looking things over, they recommended bringing in someone to listen for an underground leak. While we waited, we spent a couple hours just standing around talking about business, family, life, and whatever else came up.
At some point I mentioned that my boys are absolutely obsessed with Monster Jam.
And when I say obsessed, I mean OBSESSED.
Sparkle Smash. El Toro Loco. Monster trucks all day, every day. Weāre taking them to Monster Jam next month and if youāve spent five minutes around our family lately, you know weāve officially become a monster truck family.
What I didnāt know was that while we were standing there talking, Ricky had already ordered these backpacks.
Yesterday he stopped by and dropped them off.
Truthfully, if heād never bought a thing, Iād still be thankful for the friendship weāve built and the relationship weāve developed. Thatās already worth a lot to me.
But seeing someone listen to a conversation, remember a detail about your kids, and then quietly go do something about it⦠that hits different.
The boys wore these backpacks everywhere yesterday.
In the car.
Around the house.
Out in the garden picking tomatoes and cucumbers.
Pretty sure they wouldāve slept in them if weād let them.
To them, these are the coolest backpacks on planet Earth.
To me, theyāre a reminder that character still matters.
Needless to say, weāve got a plumbing company locked in.
More importantly, weāve made friends for life.
If youāre looking for a plumber, Wilson Brothers Plumbing is my recommendation. Not just because theyāre good at what they do, but because theyāre good people.
And good people are hard to find. ā¤ļø
