	Description:		LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ What if losing $400K to a crooked partner, battling PTSD, and raising a special-needs son still wasn’t enough to stop you from building an $8M empire? In this raw, unfiltered episode of Dropping Bombs, I sit down with Vincent “Vinnie” Biancamano—first-gen Italian, ex-firefighter, and founder of Hot Shot Hardscape & Pools—on how he went from his dad’s basement and maxed-out cards to becoming one of the fastest-growing custom pool builders in Scottsdale and nationwide. This isn’t HGTV—it’s the brutal truth about backyard resorts. Vinnie exposes why most pool contractors cut corners, why the cheapest bid usually becomes the most expensive mistake, and how six-inch-on-center steel cages, soil engineering, and waterproofing separate luxury builds from disasters. His message is simple: if you want bargain basics, call someone else—but if you want a backyard resort that looks like Vegas and lasts like concrete, Hot Shot will fly anywhere to build it. For entrepreneurs, builders, and parents fighting uphill battles, this is your wake-up call to bet on discipline, lead with character, and let results do the talking.
