Why he Ditched His 6-Figure Travel Job to Monetise Junk Removal?

Braxton Jett shares his remarkable journey from healthcare executive to junk removal entrepreneur-a transition sparked by helping a realtor friend resolve a home closing dispute over an old swing set. After years of extensive corporate travel (280+ days per year) and recovering from a life-changing brain tumor diagnosis, Braxton made the intentional choice to build a business that prioritized family time and community presence over corporate ambition. Starting with just $3,000 from his personal account in early 2023, he built Cleared Out LLC into a business generating over $325,000 in its first year. The conversation explores Braxton's philosophy of radical honesty and transparency, his creative solutions for hazardous materials disposal (including an ingenious propane tank solution), the unexpected profitability of the resale side business, and why he deliberately keeps his operation small despite growth opportunities. Braxton discusses the realities of equipment maintenance costs, the importance of proper quoting, working with estate sales, maintaining environmental responsibility, and using technology like Jobber to manage operations. Most compellingly, he explains why showing up on time and doing exactly what you promise puts you "leaps and bounds ahead" in the service industry.
