Friends in the industry, and Clients always ask us how we got here.  They want to know Tym's story, and how the Montgomery brothers came to be Tym. In this episode, Matt takes you back to the beginning, back to his days  flipping homes, and how a friends invitation to sell Home Security Door-to-door, ultimately led Matt and his brothers to open Tym. Matt shares how he and his brothers navigated the early days of their Security Business, the friends who mentored them into the Smart Home Arena,  how they eventually landed their first big builder contract; 300 homes a year standard with a HAI (and later a Control4) Smart Home, and how that first business relationship fell apart. The venture proved to be a disaster for both Tym and the builder, but not before Matt and the team at Tym learned some valuable lessons that would bring future success with home owners and their smart homes. Matt shares those lessons, and offers advice for Dealers and Home Owners building a system. For more information on Tym's Design Service go here To subscribe to Tym U go here
