Turn your home service chaos into a streamlined, profitable machine.
In this episode, Blue Collar Nerd (Richard Kohberger) breaks down how tech, ServiceTitan, and smart training can transform your HVAC, plumbing, or electrical business.
In this Freedom Blueprint Podcast episode, host Justin Deese sits down with Richard Kohberger—better known as Blue Collar Nerd—to talk about growing up in the trades, falling in love with tech, and becoming one of the most trusted educators on ServiceTitan and home service software.
You’ll hear how Richard went from theatre kid and film major to HVAC technician, into the office, and eventually Director of Operations in his family’s Atlanta shop. That unique blend of field experience, operations, tech, and acting led him to launch the Blue Collar Nerd YouTube channel and later create the Ultimate ServiceTitan Guide.
They dig into:
What it’s really like to feel like an “outsider” in the trades—and why that perspective became a superpower.
How ServiceTitan changed the game for home service businesses and why constant evolution in your software is actually an advantage.
The story behind the Ultimate ServiceTitan Guide: a searchable, video-based resource to help teams master dispatch, call center, pricebook, reporting, dynamic pricing, and more.
How to train new CSRs, office staff, and managers faster using video and searchable content instead of static docs.
Why most contractors still underutilize ServiceTitan and leave massive efficiency and profit on the table.
Richard also shares two powerful features that make techs’ and office staff’s lives easier:
Conditional logic in forms – Hide irrelevant questions so techs only see what applies to the job they’re on.
Configurable services (plus dynamic pricing) – Condense multiple materials into a single service, pick the exact item on the job, and let ServiceTitan handle accurate pricing and inventory tracking.
If you’re an HVAC, plumbing, or electrical business owner who feels behind on technology—or you’re using ServiceTitan but know you’re only scratching the surface—this episode will give you practical ideas, clarity, and next steps.
