In this episode of the Builders of Authority Podcast, Adam McChesney sits down with Nick Peret, founder of Better Boss, to discuss how contractors can use better systems, software, and automation to regain control of their businesses.

Nick shares how his family roots in the trades, experience at Milwaukee Tool, and background in sales, startups, and marketing led him to build Better Boss. He also explains why he narrowed the company’s focus to helping contractors, custom home builders, and remodelers successfully implement JobTread.

The conversation explores how the right operating system can simplify estimating, scheduling, and daily operations while giving business owners more time and peace of mind. Nick also shares practical advice for contractors implementing software themselves, including documenting their processes, setting firm deadlines, testing the system on real jobs, and helping their teams navigate change.

Adam and Nick also discuss the value of “giving away the sauce” through webinars and YouTube content, building authority by sharing useful information, and integrating AI tools like Claude into business operations.

If you are a contractor who has invested in software but still feels overwhelmed by your systems, this episode will help you approach implementation with greater clarity and confidence.

About me:
I’m Adam McChesney: an entrepreneur and marketer who’s spent the last decade building and scaling service-based businesses. I’ve been on both sides of the table: running companies myself and helping other business owners grow through smarter, more disciplined marketing.

I’m the founder of Builders of Authority, where I work with service businesses to improve visibility, strengthen their brand, and build marketing systems that actually perform over time. Everything I share comes from real experience, what I’ve tested, what’s worked, and what hasn’t.

Today, I create content, speak, and have honest conversations about marketing, growth, and leadership, with one goal in mind: helping business owners stop relying on last-minute tactics and start building something sustainable.

Built for the contractors the market keeps overlooking.
