In this episode of the Built Local Podcast, Clay sits down with Brandon Carter from Scoopy Doo, a rapidly growing pet waste removal company in Southeast Tennessee that went from zero to over $100,000 in annual recurring revenue in less than eight months.
What makes Brandon’s story even more unique is that he started the business with his 13-year-old daughter after she asked him why they couldn’t own a business together. From there, they launched Scoopy Doo, scaled aggressively with Facebook and Google ads, and quickly became one of the fastest-growing poop scooping businesses in their area.
Brandon breaks down exactly how they penetrated a new market, hired technicians, landed commercial contracts, and scaled to over 100 customers fast. He also shares lessons about entrepreneurship, reinvesting into growth, maintaining service quality, and teaching business fundamentals to the next generation.
If you run a home service business or want to start one, this episode is packed with practical insights on marketing, scaling, and getting started.
