The Blue Collar Trades Show releases Episode 3 featuring Jeff Rahn, owner of On Time Service Pros, whose journey from Air Force aircraft mechanic to HVAC business owner highlights the power of mentorship, grit, and opportunity in the skilled trades.
In this episode, Rahn sits down to share how four years in the U.S. Air Force working on fighter jets laid the foundation for his work ethic, discipline, and leadership style—traits that carried through a long career in aviation before ultimately accelerating his rise in the HVAC industry. After leaving the military, Rahn entered HVAC in 2008 as an installer, determined to build a stable future for his family and willing to start from the ground up.
Within just three years, Rahn advanced from installer to running business operations, a rare trajectory he credits to relentless effort and strong mentorship. A central theme of the episode is Rahn’s professional relationship with Troy Latuff, whose guidance and trust helped shape Rahn’s leadership path. Rahn emphasizes that success in the trades isn’t just about technical skill, but about having the right people willing to invest in your growth, and being ready to earn that opportunity.
Episode 3 also explores Rahn’s commitment to continuous learning, personal development, and paying mentorship forward, not only within his own company but through On Time Business Partners, the home-service business consulting firm where he helps other trades businesses grow and scale their operations. His story reinforces a core message of The Blue Collar Trades Show: there are powerful, fulfilling career paths outside of college, and the trades offer real opportunities for advancement, ownership, and long-term success.
Episode 3 of The Blue Collar Trades Show is available now on all major podcast platforms and video streaming channels.
