Denny Smith discussed the concept of “YouTube University” during an interview on 93.1 WIBC. He noted that professional plumbers charge between $150 and $175 an hour just for a truck visit. Smith also pointed out that a service plumber in Fort Myers earned $250,000 last year rebuilding after hurricane damage.

The discussion highlighted the high cost of professional repairs compared to the low cost of DIY knowledge found online. Smith noted that while a faucet cartridge might cost $25, a professional repair can run $200. The segment also detailed the high earning potential of skilled trades workers.
