Episode 225: BluTex Pools - The Inspirational Journey from Startup to Exit with Former Owner Carl Spinnler
Episode Summary:
Today, we sit down with Carl Spinnler, the former owner of BluTex, a West Houston-based residential swimming pool maintenance and repair company based in West Houston established in 2012.
Carl got his “start” in the industry when he got his first job as a lifeguard at the age of 15, after which he began doing winter maintenance for local commercial pools. A friend eventually reached out to Carl to clean his pool. A decade later, that friend remained a customer of Carl’s—along with the many others he has built up over the years as the head of BluTex.
Listen in as Carl looks back on his journey from pool cleaner to owner of his own LLC, all the way to his decision to let go of the company in order to begin the next phase of his career. He speaks in particular on his hiring strategy as BluTex began to see considerable growth, and how he was able to successfully exit the business.
