In this week’s episode, we chat with Eugene Geis, Owner of Flex Air. Eugene talks about his love and interest in football, his transition from plumbing to HVAC, and the various challenges he faced along the way. Then he opens up about his plans to buy his wife's family HVAC business from her grandparents, which ultimately failed. But Eugene is not one to get discouraged, and he pushed ahead and started his own business, Flex Air. Finally, the conversation ends with some lighthearted moments, including Eugene's victory in a pull-up contest at Rocket X.
