In episode 36 of Process Server Daily, Mighty Mike Reed chats with Eric and Amy Luthy, former law-enforcement pros (≈35–37 years combined) who run Samurai Investigations LLC in Michigan. After adding a PI license ~2 years ago and process serving ~18 months ago, they've grown ~1200% since January by doing the basics exceptionally well: answer the phone, make first attempts within 24–48 hours, communicate proactively, and file clean, detailed notes that "paint the scene." They cover ~20 counties (and beyond when clients are in a bind), prioritize relationships over one-off jobs ("yes first," even if it's a loss leader), and have won recurring firms by solving problems others wouldn't—like driving 3.5 hours for a same-day rescue after a prior server botched a PPO serve. They share Michigan-specific tips (process servers are trespass-law exempt while serving; sub-service requires court order on most in-state matters), stress de-escalation and empathy at the door, and urge newcomers to call firms, listen for pain points, and document everything.

In episode 35 of Process Server Daily, Mighty Mike Reid interviews Mitch Vaughn, founder of Tracked & Solved Investigation Agency in Lewiston, Idaho. After rebuilding his life and spending five years in cybersecurity, Mitch launched an agency that now employs eight PIs, handling investigations, skip tracing, and process serving across ID/WA using licensed databases and on-the-ground verification. He stresses neutrality, airtight documentation, and strict compliance with state laws—sharing a key early lesson about screening cases for protection orders. Mitch's most rewarding work includes helping exonerate a man wrongly accused and supporting reunifications in custody matters. His advice to newcomers: do your due diligence, vet risk, confirm addresses, serve at homes (not workplaces) when possible, and learn under a reputable agency before going solo.
