In this episode of Going With the Flow, Lucas sits down with Cellino electrician Jordan Garrett to talk about his path into the electrical trade and how experience in sales, working with kids, and other jobs shaped the kind of technician he is today. Jordan shares how hands-on training, mentorship, and a commitment to keep learning brought him to Cellino and what he values most about the work he does every day. Lucas and Jordan dig into the importance of communication in service work, what makes troubleshooting difficult electrical problems so rewarding, and two services that Buffalo homeowners tend to overlook: surge protection and panel mapping. They also cover how electrical work increasingly connects to HVAC systems, generators, EV chargers, and smart home technology. The episode wraps with a “What the Flush?!” story about a routine outlet call that quickly revealed a much larger and potentially dangerous wiring issue hiding behind the walls, and Jordan shares his goals for the future in the electrical trade.
Lucas sits down with longtime media partner Phil Banas to look back on 20+ years of Cellino advertising and talk about how the media landscape has shifted from Yellow Pages and TV to digital, streaming, and AI. They cover brand awareness, Bills advertising, smarter ways to measure ROI, and why the right advertising partner asks about your goals before recommending a platform.
Lucas sits down with Lindy Erb, President of Erb Company, to talk wholesale plumbing distribution, why professional-grade products outperform big-box options, and what it’s like inside the Buffalo Plumbing Showroom. They also cover manufacturer partnerships, contractor training, and a sharp pivot Erb Company made when a major boiler brand suddenly shut down.
Lucas sits down with Greg Strauss, founder of 716 Realty Group, to talk about his path from Wall Street to building one of WNY’s fastest-growing real estate companies. They cover Airbnb management, vendor partnerships, the Cellino and 716 Realty relationship, and Greg’s outlook on the Buffalo housing market.
Surge protection, panel mapping, and routine electrical inspections are the kinds of services that prevent bigger problems down the road. Cellino’s licensed electricians serve homeowners across Buffalo and Western New York with honest assessments, quality work, and the communication you deserve from start to finish.
