What if the key to extending the life of your appliances is just a phone call away? On this episode of the Good Neighbor Podcast, we welcome John Osayi, the remarkable owner of Regal Appliance Services LLC, who took a bold leap from sales to mastering appliance repair. John's story is more than just a career shift; it's a testament to the power of pursuing tangible skills, even when the timing seems daunting—launching a business on the eve of a global pandemic. He dismantles misconceptions about do-it-yourself repairs, warns against the hidden dangers of non-OEM parts, and champions the untapped potential of older machines. 

John's passion for his craft and dedication to customer service shine through as he shares insights that every homeowner and aspiring entrepreneur must hear. This episode isn't just about appliances; it's a celebration of local businesses that form the backbone of our communities. We also extend an invitation to listeners to promote their ventures through platforms like our podcast and Swampscott Neighbors magazine, fostering a supportive network in Swampscott, Massachusetts.
