About the Host

Carl Armijo

Podcast Host/Photographer/Business Owner

As the host of 502 Entrepreneurs, I bring real-world experience from building two service-based businesses from the ground up. I know what today’s customers expect — and what it takes to deliver. Whether I’m behind the camera in my real estate photography business or managing my cleaning company, my focus is always the same: make life easier for clients through clear communication, modern tools, and reliable, stress-free service.

On this show, I share honest, practical lessons about customer service, building trust, and using streamlined systems to simplify the client experience. I believe that great service isn’t just about finishing the job — it’s about setting clear expectations, communicating proactively, and standing behind your work long after the invoice is paid.

I’m passionate about helping fellow entrepreneurs — whether they’re just starting or scaling up — learn how to deliver quality work, simplify their processes, and create businesses that people rave about. Each episode is a chance to share real stories, useful tools, and the lessons I’m still learning every day while building my companies here in the 502.
