                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>This episode of Build It to Sell It features host Lance Bachmann and guest Claudio Vilas, owner of The Roofing Biz Broker. Claudio shares his expertise in selling roofing companies to private equity firms, highlighting the importance of specialization and preparation for a successful exit.

<ul class="ytAttributedStringListGroup" dir="ltr">
<li>The Power of Specialization: Why Claudio transitioned from a general business broker to focusing exclusively on the roofing industry to create a more efficient network.3 </li>
<li>Private Equity Realities: Understanding the low "hit rate" of private equity deals and how to pass the initial "sniff test".4 </li>
<li>Valuation vs. Efficiency: Why buyers value a money-making machine over physical assets like trucks, which can often be liabilities.5 </li>
<li>The Role of an M&amp;A Advisor: Why having a "matchmaker" is critical to balancing the knowledge gap between a seller and professional buyers.6 </li>
<li>Negotiating the LOI: Strategies for maximizing leverage before signing a Letter of Intent (LOI) and navigating the risky period before the final Asset Purchase Agreement (APA).7 </li>
<li>The Pitfalls of Earnouts: Why Claudio and Lance prefer rolling over equity over earnouts, which can often be manipulated by buyers. </li>
</ul>
<p> Build It To Sell It Conference is where serious business owners go to scale, systemize, and position their company for a profitable exit. This is not another motivational event. This is a real-world, operator-led conference built for entrepreneurs who want clarity, structure, and results. </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of the Build It To Sell It podcast, Lance Bachmann sits down with Stephen Martinez, the visionary behind the American Dream Event and ISmart Roofing. They dive deep into Stephen's journey from Houston to semi-pro soccer in England and eventually to becoming a powerhouse in the roofing and event space.</p>
<p>They discuss the vital importance of financial literacy in the Hispanic community, how to apply high-level private equity strategies to blue-collar businesses, and why networking is the ultimate currency. Stephen and Lance also get real about their childhood struggles, the "Why Not Me?" mentality, and why they believe traditional work-life balance is a myth for those who want to win big.</p>
<p>Main Topic and Key Points

The primary focus of this episode is the intersection of entrepreneurship, financial literacy within the Hispanic community, and the mindset required to achieve the "American Dream".</p>
<ul>
<li>Financial Literacy and the Hispanic Community: Stephen Martinez discusses his mission to bring "white-collar" business strategies—such as understanding EBITDA and business valuations—to the "blue-collar" minority demographic.

</li>
<li>The American Dream Event: Martinez details the creation and growth of his conference, which focuses on business fundamentals, networking, and purpose-driven impact rather than just sales or partying.

</li>
<li>Overcoming the Victim Mentality: Both the host and guest share personal stories of traumatic childhoods, emphasizing the transition from asking "Why me?" to declaring "Why not me?".

</li>
<li>The Myth of Work-Life Balance: The host argues that there is no true balance for those striving to reach the top; instead, one must prioritize family and business above all else.

</li>
<li>Relentless Discipline: Success is attributed to three core pillars: discipline, work ethic, and consistency, combined with an understanding of "God's time".</li>
</ul>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of the Build It to Sell It podcast, host Lance Bachmann sits down with Kaela Reedy, founder of Elevated HQ, to strip away the sugar-coating of business ownership in the home services industry. Kaela, whose "love language" is P&amp;Ls and KPIs, discusses the critical gap between what contractors think their business is worth and the "unattractive" reality of its actual market value.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The conversation dives into the "owner dependency" trap, warning that if your business can't survive a 30-day vacation without you, it isn't a premium asset; it's just a high-overhead job. Lance and Kaela also engage in a heated debate over dispatch fees, with Lance sharing how removing them tripled his bookings. From the psychological toll of "sellers' depression" to the staggering statistic that only 7% of listed businesses actually sell, this episode is a masterclass in financial readiness and operational excellence for contractors looking to exit on their own terms.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Key Topics Include:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">The "Ugly Baby" Truth: Closing the gap between perception and reality in business valuations.</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">The Dispatch Fee Debate: Why charging for a "hello" might be costing you millions in bookings.</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Financial Red Flags: Moving beyond revenue to understand true profitability and GP.</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Personal Readiness: Navigating the identity crisis and depression that often follows a successful exit.</li>

        <itunes:summary><![CDATA[In this episode of the Build Sell It podcast, we sit down with Jennifer Bagley, CEO of CI Web Group and co-founder of Just Start AI.
We dive deep into the massive shift from traditional Google search to AI-driven autonomous agents and what it means for contractors and home service businesses.
Jennifer reveals how she used AI to revolutionize her own agency—increasing speed and accuracy by 1,000x—and why she believes the traditional paid advertising model is dying. If you want to know how to outpace your competition using organic SEO, "agentic" workflows, and AI-first operating systems, this is a must-watch.
Learn why "following the recipe" is the difference between a failing business and a $20M powerhouse.

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, Lance sits down with Brigham Dickinson from Power Selling Pros to discuss the often-overlooked impact of Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) on business growth and scalability. While many companies focus exclusively on training technicians, the speakers argue that neglecting CSR training leads to high turnover and missed revenue opportunities.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>12 Key topics covered in this episode include:</p>
<p>* The Power of CSR Training: Why CSRs are often the most important role in an organization for creating "wow" experiences and ensuring sales opportunities aren't lost to competitors.</p>
<p>3 * AI vs. Human Connection: A debate on the role of AI in the home service industry. While AI is useful for immediate lead capture, it cannot replace the trust and rapport built through human interaction.</p>
<p>4 * Incentivizing for Success: How providing clear incentives and attention to CSRs can transform them from simple phone answerers into high-performing "experience people" who actively sell service agreements.</p>
<p>5 * Lessons from Wrestling: Applying the discipline and "comfortable being uncomfortable" mindset from competitive wrestling to the business world.</p>
<p>6 * The "A-Team" vs. "B-Team": Insights into Brigham's call center model, where in-house CSRs (the A-Team) are pushed to outperform a high-level overflow team (the B-Team).</p>
<p>7 * Faith and Mindset: The foundational roles that faith, mental health, and physical fitness play in successful entrepreneurship and leadership.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Some conversations start with small talk—this one goes straight into the real stuff! What begins as a casual sit-down quickly turns into an unfiltered discussion about loss, resilience, and the moments in life that completely reshape who you are. From navigating personal tragedy to finding meaning in the hardest experiences, this conversation explores how adversity can forge purpose. Introducing Keith Jones, longtime NBC10 Philadelphia news anchor, Villanova professor, and one of the most recognizable media personalities in the region.</p>
<p>Keith shares the deeply personal story that shaped his outlook on life after losing his girlfriend in his twenties—and how that experience ultimately led him to build a foundation in her honor and redefine his purpose. Along the way, we challenge the narratives around politics, branding, social media, and money—and explore why authenticity may be the most valuable asset anyone can have in business or life. This one is NOT to be missed!</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Most contractors are selling to skeptical, “burned-before” homeowners… and then they wonder why nothing closes. In this episode, I sit down with Joseph Hughes (Contractor Dynamics) and we get BRUTELLY honest about the real problem in roofing marketing: uneducated buyers, zero trust, and contractors who think hiring an agency means they can stop paying attention. We talk accountability, why most agencies get fired even when results are good, how Joe trains roofers to become the “marketing GC,” and why buying leads isn’t marketing—it’s just panic with a credit card.</p>
<p>Episode highlights
-Why trust is at an all-time low and contractors are paying the price
-Contractor Dynamics’ shift: training + coaching first, “done-for-you” second
-The concept every roofer needs: your in-house marketing manager = the QB/GC
-Why agencies fail: clients don’t track, don’t answer phones, don’t own outcomes
-The dirty secret of digital: churn is baked into the agency model</p>
<p>Here’s the reality: if you don’t trust your marketing numbers, you don’t have a marketing problem—you’ve got a leadership problem. Joe’s whole point is simple: stop hiring agencies like you’re ordering DoorDash and hoping your business shows up hot and ready. Be the CEO. Know the basics. Check the change history. And if you’re still chasing “instant leads” with no plan? Congrats—you’re not doing marketing… you’re just speed-running stress.</p>
<p>See you Monday for another great episode!</p>

                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most contractors are selling to skeptical, “burned-before” homeowners… and then they wonder why nothing closes. In this episode, I sit down with Joseph Hughes (Contractor Dynamics) and we get BRUTELLY honest about the real problem in roofing marketing: uneducated buyers, zero trust, and contractors who think hiring an agency means they can stop paying attention. We talk accountability, why most agencies get fired even when results are good, how Joe trains roofers to become the “marketing GC,” and why buying leads isn’t marketing—it’s just panic with a credit card.</p>
<p>Episode highlights<br>
-Why trust is at an all-time low and contractors are paying the price<br>
-Contractor Dynamics’ shift: training + coaching first, “done-for-you” second<br>
-The concept every roofer needs: your in-house marketing manager = the QB/GC<br>
-Why agencies fail: clients don’t track, don’t answer phones, don’t own outcomes<br>
-The dirty secret of digital: churn is baked into the agency model</p>
<p>Here’s the reality: if you don’t trust your marketing numbers, you don’t have a marketing problem—you’ve got a leadership problem. Joe’s whole point is simple: stop hiring agencies like you’re ordering DoorDash and hoping your business shows up hot and ready. Be the CEO. Know the basics. Check the change history. And if you’re still chasing “instant leads” with no plan? Congrats—you’re not doing marketing… you’re just speed-running stress.</p>

In this episode, I sit down with Spencer Brannan from Culture Index—the assessment we use right here at LB Capital to stop guessing and start placing the right people in the right seats. We get into the uncomfortable reality– if you want to build anything that matters, you’re going to upset some people, and if you don’t hold people accountable, your business becomes a daycare.

<p>-The Real Reason People Quit: The Frontline Manager</p>
<p>-Why Interviews Lie and Data Doesn’t</p>
<p>-Accountability Feels Like “Hate” to Undisciplined People</p>
<p>Do yourself a favor—stop guessing, stop collecting resumes like Pokémon cards, and start building a team that can actually execute. Catch the next episode—because we’re not here to build a “nice” business… we’re here to build one that wins!</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Texas roofing is the Wild West—no licensing, nonstop storm chaos, and a whole lot of companies flexing revenue while quietly bleeding cash. And I’ll say it again: if you’re doing $100M and it costs you $100M, I’m not impressed. </p>
<p>In this episode, I sit down with Heather Hitchcock—founder and CEO of Royal Roofing in Houston—to talk about what it really takes to build a roofing company in one of the hardest markets in the country. We get into her social media strategy that generated leads with $0 ad spend, the brutal leadership lessons she learned the hard way, and why most contractors get stuck at $1–2M forever. </p>
<p>HIGHLIGHTS YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS:
-Women in Roofing
-Profit Over Revenue
-$0-Ad-Spend Lead Engine
-Stop Reacting, Start Leading
-Why Roofers Stay Stuck At $1–2M</p>
<p>Here’s the reality: if you’re flexing revenue but not stacking profit, you’re not building a business—you’re building stress. Heather nailed it: great companies are built when leaders stop reacting. So stop chasing storms and start building systems… because if you don’t tighten the screws, your business will leak. And if you want more real-world breakdowns like this, stay locked in—next episode gets even more tactical.</p>

                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Texas roofing is the Wild West—no licensing, nonstop storm chaos, and a whole lot of companies flexing revenue while quietly bleeding cash. And I’ll say it again: if you’re doing $100M and it costs you $100M, I’m not impressed. </p>
<p>In this episode, I sit down with Heather Hitchcock—founder and CEO of Royal Roofing in Houston—to talk about what it really takes to build a roofing company in one of the hardest markets in the country. We get into her social media strategy that generated leads with $0 ad spend, the brutal leadership lessons she learned the hard way, and why most contractors get stuck at $1–2M forever. </p>
<p>HIGHLIGHTS YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS:<br>
-Women in Roofing<br>
-Profit Over Revenue<br>
-$0-Ad-Spend Lead Engine<br>
-Stop Reacting, Start Leading<br>
-Why Roofers Stay Stuck At $1–2M</p>
<p>Here’s the reality: if you’re flexing revenue but not stacking profit, you’re not building a business—you’re building stress. Heather nailed it: great companies are built when leaders stop reacting. So stop chasing storms and start building systems… because if you don’t tighten the screws, your business will leak. And if you want more real-world breakdowns like this, stay locked in—next episode gets even more tactical.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>If your marketing “isn’t working,” I’d bet money it’s not your ads—it’s your business. </p>
<p>Most home service companies aren’t losing because their marketing “doesn’t work.” They’re losing because they’re obsessed with the wrong things—arguing over ad costs while calls go unanswered, chasing more leads while close rates stay embarrassing, and treating marketing like random monthly tactics instead of a system. 
Today I’m sitting down with Brandon Rost of Be Marketing Solutions to break down the 2026 reality: AI is changing how people choose before they even click, Google is shrinking the battlefield, and the companies that win won’t be the ones with the biggest budget—they’ll be the ones with the tightest execution.</p>
<p>Highlights: 
-Google is becoming a “one-choice” machine—AI overviews influence the decision before your website gets a chance.
-Local search isn’t moving to ChatGPT yet in a meaningful way—Google still owns the local game.
-If you drive 100 leads and only book 50, your marketing isn’t broken—your process is.
-The CSR is the highest-leverage role in a home service company.</p>
<p>**Here’s the reality check: marketing doesn’t fix broken operations—it only exposes them faster. If you want to grow, stop begging for more leads and start earning them by answering the phone, tightening your system, and becoming obsessed with execution.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>You’ve got more tools than ever to see exactly what’s working in your marketing… and most business owners still run blind.
They guess.
 They blame the agency.
 They bounce from vendor to vendor.
 And meanwhile, leads are leaking, follow-up is slow, and the marketplace forgets them.
In this episode, I’m in Las Vegas with guest Aoife Roche of Intleacht AI System—straight out of Ireland, known as the “AI Queen”—and we’re getting brutally honest about what’s actually breaking contractor marketing right now: no visibility, bad tracking, slow speed-to-lead, and chasing shiny objects instead of building real systems.</p>
<p>Episode Highlights You DON’T Wanna Miss!
-Speed-to-lead wins
-Track everything (no guesswork)
-Follow-up beats “more leads”
-Visibility = survival
-Shift from rankings to AI recommendations</p>
<p>If you’re still guessing where leads come from, hoping the phone rings, and blaming marketing when sales doesn’t follow up—this episode is your wake-up call: get visible, get measurable, and get systematic… or get forgotten.</p>

<p>In this eye-opening episode, suave Italian powerhouse Federico Crivelli (from Avoca AI—YC-backed, exploding in the trades) sits down with me to reveal the brutal truth: AI isn't replacing your team—it's supercharging it. From 90%+ answer rates to human-in-the-loop rescues on angry callers, this hybrid tech is already boosting bookings from 10% to 70%+ for HVAC, plumbing, roofing, and electrical giants.</p>
<p>Warning! If you're still letting calls go to voicemail after hours... you're about to feel the pain. AI is the biggest money shift in home services history—get in early or get left behind.

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>ServiceTitan isn’t “good” or “bad”—it’s a mirror. And for a lot of contractors, what they see in that mirror is messy: broken processes, workarounds, numbers you can’t trust, and a pricebook that feels like a never-ending fight. In this episode, the BlueCollar Nerd–Richard Koberger and I go straight into the good, the bad, and the ugly—why onboarding feels like 90–180 days of chaos, why most teams blame the software instead of the setup, and the exact features that turn ServiceTitan from a headache into a growth engine. If you want clean reporting, real margins, and a company you can actually scale (or sell), this one’s a must-watch!</p>
<p>What you’ll learn in this episode:
-Why software doesn’t solve problems—it reveals them
-The real reason ServiceTitan implementations feel “brutal” (and why that’s normal)
-How to avoid workarounds that destroy reporting accuracy
-Why pricebooks are never “done” and how to keep yours clean
-The features that reduce technician friction: dynamic pricing, configurable services, conditional logic forms
-The simple KPI stack that actually runs a scaling contractor business
-How to roll out change without “getting buy-in” (and without losing trust) and more!</p>
<p>If you stop treating ServiceTitan like a magic fix and start treating it like a system you commit to, you’ll finally get the numbers, control, and growth you thought you were paying for.</p>

                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ServiceTitan isn’t “good” or “bad”—it’s a mirror. And for a lot of contractors, what they see in that mirror is messy: broken processes, workarounds, numbers you can’t trust, and a pricebook that feels like a never-ending fight. In this episode, the BlueCollar Nerd–Richard Koberger and I go straight into the good, the bad, and the ugly—why onboarding feels like 90–180 days of chaos, why most teams blame the software instead of the setup, and the exact features that turn ServiceTitan from a headache into a growth engine. If you want clean reporting, real margins, and a company you can actually scale (or sell), this one’s a must-watch!</p>
<p>What you’ll learn in this episode:<br>
-Why software doesn’t solve problems—it reveals them<br>
-The real reason ServiceTitan implementations feel “brutal” (and why that’s normal)<br>
-How to avoid workarounds that destroy reporting accuracy<br>
-Why pricebooks are never “done” and how to keep yours clean<br>
-The features that reduce technician friction: dynamic pricing, configurable services, conditional logic forms<br>
-The simple KPI stack that actually runs a scaling contractor business<br>
-How to roll out change without “getting buy-in” (and without losing trust) and more!</p>
<p>If you stop treating ServiceTitan like a magic fix and start treating it like a system you commit to, you’ll finally get the numbers, control, and growth you thought you were paying for.</p>

In this raw, no-BS episode, garage door legend and my friend Tommy Mello, who bootstrapped A1 Garage Door Service into a national powerhouse doing $300M+ revenue, 1,500+ employees, and massive bottom-line profits sits down with me today to spill the brutal truth:
-Why fearing price raises and underpaying people keeps you poor.
-How a "build it to sell it" mindset (even if you never sell) turns your business into a wealth machine.
-The dark side of private equity, haters, and why abundance + equity makes your team sprint toward the exit.</p>
<p>Stop treating your business like a headache and start building the empire that sets your family free—because the next Tommy Mello could be YOU… if you stop waiting and start sprinting today!</p>

Meet Michael Cooney who built WhatConverts to fix this: track every call, transcription, quote value, and true sales outcome so you know exactly what’s working and what’s bleeding cash.
Stop guessing where your marketing dollars go!</p>
<p>Highlights:
-Google Analytics lies: It shows duration but not call quality, spam, or value—WhatConverts qualifies every lead and feeds real revenue back to ad platforms.
-The “optimization flywheel”: Manually value calls first, then automate with AI (keywords + ChatGPT) for millisecond-level scaling.
-Why quote value beats sales value for optimization: Get it in minutes, not weeks—Google &amp; Meta love it.

        <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Marketing is getting more expensive and competitive—yet most owners WASTE thousands chasing vanity metrics (clicks, leads) that don’t turn into real revenue. Meet Michael Cooney who built WhatConverts to fix this: track every call, transcription, quote value, and true sales outcome so you know exactly what’s working and what’s bleeding cash.Stop guessing where your marketing dollars go!
Highlights:-Google Analytics lies: It shows duration but not call quality, spam, or value—WhatConverts qualifies every lead and feeds real revenue back to ad platforms.-The “optimization flywheel”: Manually value calls first, then automate with AI (keywords + ChatGPT) for millisecond-level scaling.-Why quote value beats sales value for optimization: Get it in minutes, not weeks—Google &amp; Meta love it.💰Hit play. Track smarter. Scale faster. Build it to sell it! 💰

From $10M chained to insurance hell—endless adjuster fights, massive AR headaches, and staff stealing jobs right under his nose—to $78M straight retail in ONE insane year. Joe Boyd didn’t just flip his roofing business… he survived lawsuits, tech meltdowns, a full-on breakdown, and came out the other side obsessed with profits, faith, and family.
This isn’t a feel-good flip story.
Why This Episode Will Blow Your Mind
-Went from $10M full-insurance roofing hell to $78M straight retail in ONE YEAR – massive cash flow, no AR nightmares, no adjuster battles
-“Revenues for vanity, profits for sanity” – the mindset shift that changed everything
-Almost lost everything in the tech transition (ServiceTitan + new processes) – traumatic change, staff theft, lawsuits, but came out stronger
-How faith, family, and brutal discipline pulled him through the breakdown
-The real cost of “loyalty” – firing toxic clients, dead weight, and thieves who stole jobs under his nose
Catch Joe at the next Roofing Conference (Marco Island, Dec 3–5) – VIPs are selling fast! roofingconference.com</p>

Bigger, better, jam packed with the topics you need answers to and seasoned guests here to help! </p>
<p>I bring to you 🥁🥁🥁……</p>
<p>💪⚡️BUILD IT TO SELL IT ⚡️💪</p>
<p>WARNING! If you’re not willing to check your ego, this conversation will make you uncomfortable—in the best way</p>
<p>This episode HITS HARD for those that need it! 
If you’re building a team, carrying weight, and feeling the tension between who you were and who you need to become.. Keep tuning in!</p>
<p>In this episode, I sat down with industry wrecking ball Ian Macklin, President of The Elliott Group, to break down walls on what actually holds leaders back as they grow—pressure, pride, people, and the lies we tell ourselves along the way. This isn’t sales theory. This is what happens when real leadership gets tested. 
Getting burned by people you trusted, shutting down and quitting mentally, weak sales team, longing to build a culture so strong outsiders will misunderstand it.
Does this sound like you? We got you covered! </p>
<p>Let this sink in: Most leaders don’t fail because they lack skill.
They fail because their ego blocks growth.</p>
<p>So don’t be one of those entrepreneurs that fails because their ego refuses to evolve!</p>
<p>*2026 COULD BE YOUR YEAR! Follow along and I promise I will get you there!</p>

In this episode, I sit down with Dan Claps, serial entrepreneur and founder of Voda Cleaning &amp; Restoration, a fast-scaling home services franchise with 100 locations and $60M+ in system-wide revenue.

<p>Rules We Review That Separate Builders From Broke:
-Speed beats control
-Systems scale, hustle stalls
-Execution matters more than marketing
-Royalties are cheaper than mistakes
-Build it to sell, not to babysit.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, I sit down with guest Joseph McEvoy, founder of MTM Recruiting, to unpack what it really takes to build, scale, and sustain a recruiting engine inside home services. Joe isn’t guessing—he spent a decade inside one of the largest door-to-door machines in the country and helped scale a company from $100M to over a billion dollars by treating recruiting like sales!
This conversation dives deep into:
-Why recruiting must be run like a revenue function, not HR
-The broken economics of traditional placement fees
-How a flat retainer model actually protects both clients and candidates
-Why bad recruiting firms burn trust—and how to avoid becoming one
-The underrated power of canvassing when digital ads are overcrowded
-Why fair pricing is the only way to build a business that lasts
We also get personal—talking about risk, failure, getting burned, and the often-overlooked role your partner plays in whether you win or lose in business.</p>
<p>*If you are still unaware, Exit Rich is getting a whole new Facelift soon and changing to Build It to Sell It! So be sure to follow us as we transition to bigger and better than before! </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Some people chase clicks.
I chase coverage.
In this episode, I sat down with Gage Donovan of Johnson Media Group. We peeled back the layers on something most marketers either misunderstand or completely ignore: why brand beats tactics when the storm hits. Gage might only be 25, but don’t let the age fool you—he’s placed over $50 million in paid media, manages 3,000+ billboards nationwide, and understands traditional media better than most “digital-first” agencies ever will!</p>
<p>We also got into:
-Why brand is what lifts average ticket size
-How OTT and streaming quietly replaced traditional TV
-Why organic traffic is becoming a misleading metric
-How weather sponsorships build trust faster than almost anything
-Why most agencies fail clients before campaigns even launch
-The discipline it takes to win early—and stay winning</p>
<p>This episode isn’t about chasing the next shiny channel. It’s about owning your market, staying visible year-round, and building a brand so strong that when the storm hits, there’s only one number people call.
If you’re in home services—or any local business—and want to stop gambling on ads and start forecasting growth, this one’s for you.</p>

<p>Most people think wealth hits like a lightning strike ⚡️
 They’re wrong! It builds like a storm system—slow at first, then all at once.
In this episode, I sat down with Derik Kline, founder of HailTrace, and we got real about what it actually takes to build wealth, scale a SaaS business, and stay in the game long enough for the clouds to finally break. Derek didn’t just wake up wealthy—80% of his net worth was built in the last few years, after decades of showing up, reinvesting, and refusing to quit.
We talked about why the first exit changes everything, how money becomes a tool once fear leaves the room, and why I believe most founders drain their future every time they “write something off” too early. This conversation went deep into SaaS pricing, churn, growth problems, and the uncomfortable truth that if you’re scaling, something is always going to be storming.
If you’re building something real, this episode will help you stop chasing sunshine and start learning how to operate in the storm because that’s where the growth happens.</p>

In this episode, we get brutally honest about what happens before the lights turn on — the anxiety, the paralysis, the pit in your stomach, and the internal voice that says, “Nobody cares how you feel. Go get it done.” Eddie Alvarez is back (if you haven’t already seen part 1 go back and watch first) and he breaks down how fear shaped his greatest performances, why gratitude creates k*llers, and how having nothing to lose can be the ultimate competitive advantage!
We dive into the dark side of winning — what changes when money, status, and reputation give you something to protect… and how separating yourself from your emotions can build champions and quietly cost you your humanity.</p>
<p>Must See Highlights: 
-Fear Before the Fight
 Eddie breaks down why fear never goes away — and how learning to move with it is what separates champions from everyone else.</p>
<p>-Winning Changes the Game
 Success gives you something to protect, and that pressure can quietly make you play smaller if you’re not disciplined.</p>
<p>-From Fights to Fortunes
 The same obsessive mindset that built a world champion also built real estate wealth, businesses, and long-term freedom.</p>
<p>If you’ve ever felt fear, pressure, or doubt right before a big moment — this episode will hit you square in the chest.
Fear isn’t the problem.
Not knowing how to move with it is!</p>

What happens when a man who made millions fist-fighting at the highest level takes that same obsession, discipline, and humility into business? Step into the ring and find out!
Meet Eddie Alvarez — the only fighter in history to hold world titles in both UFC and Bellator — for one of the most raw, honest conversations we’ve ever had on this show. Eddie breaks down the mindset that carried him from the streets to the top of the fight world, and how that same mindset helped him quietly build real wealth through real estate, investing, and surrounding himself with the right people.
This isn’t a highlight reel.
 This is the truth about discipline, luck, sacrifice, and what it really takes to win — after the lights turn off!</p>

Eddie breaks down the mindset that carried him from the streets to the top of the fight world, and how that same mindset helped him quietly build real wealth through real estate, investing, and surrounding himself with the right people.<br>
This isn’t a highlight reel.<br>
 This is the truth about discipline, luck, sacrifice, and what it really takes to win — after the lights turn off!</p>

Most contractors are leaving millions on the table — and they don’t even know it!
In this episode, we break down why financing isn’t a “nice to have,” it’s the difference between scaling and stalling. From why close rates drop 20% if financing isn’t introduced early, to how simplifying payment plans can take a company from $2M to $50M, this conversation exposes the uncomfortable truth most contractors refuse to face. My guest Yigal Yaron of GreenSky discusses real data, real mistakes, ego-driven decisions, and why the smartest operators stop pretending they’re the expert and start following proven playbooks. If you’re still asking homeowners for $15,000 upfront instead of $150 a month — this episode will hit hard!
Success at this level isn’t about luck, talent, or working harder — it’s about making grown-up decisions. Who you partner with, who you listen to, and how seriously you treat people, process, and marketing will determine whether you plateau or break through. If you’re ready to stop playing small, stop protecting comfort, and start building something that actually lasts, this episode will challenge the way you think — and force you to level up.

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Most contractors think their biggest problem is marketing.
 It’s not...
It’s the calls they never answer, the leads they never follow up on, and the revenue quietly leaking out after hours. In this episode of the Exit Rich Podcast, I sit down with Aaron Cooper, founder of Same Day AI, to expose how AI is already booking jobs, closing deals, and outperforming humans — while most businesses are still stuck on hold.
We go deep into how Same Day AI actually works, why it outperforms humans in high-stakes conversations, and why answering your phone 24/7 is still the most overlooked growth lever in home services.
This episode isn’t about hype — it’s about execution, systems, and scaling without chaos.
🎯 Why This Episode Matters
If you’re spending money on Google, LSA, Angi, or Facebook and missing calls at night, on weekends, or during overflow, you’re losing deals to competitors who answer faster — not better.
This episode shows why AI isn’t the future of home services — it’s already here, and the companies adopting it now will dominate valuation, profitability, and exits.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>If you’re a technician dreaming of ownership, this is what ownership actually feels like when the house is on the line, the team is watching, and quitting is no longer an option.</p>
<p>You don’t accidentally build a $20 million business.</p>
<p> You earn it — through pressure, sacrifice, hard conversations, and decisions most people avoid.
In this episode, I sit down with Patrick Somers of General Air Conditioning, a former technician who climbed the ladder, bought the company he worked for, and is now on pace to do $20M this year. But this conversation isn’t about HVAC… it’s about what ownership actually demands.</p>
<p>We talk about buying a business with seller financing, the stress of payroll before you even fully own the company, and why choosing the right business partner matters more than choosing a spouse when lives, families, and dozens of employees are counting on you.</p>
<p>This is a real conversation about leadership, fear, loyalty, pressure — and why most people simply aren’t built for this level of responsibility.</p>
<p>⚡ What We Get Into:
-How Patrick went from technician → GM → owner of a 40-year-old company
-Buying a business with a seller note (and the stress nobody talks about)
-Why business partnerships are more serious than marriage
-The weight of payroll, benefits, and leadership when everything is on the line
-Sleepless nights, anxiety, and the moment you realize you can’t “just walk away”</p>
<p>🔥🔥 The biggest decision you’ll ever make as an entrepreneur isn’t the business you buy…
 It’s who you build it with, who you listen to, and who you’re willing to leave behind.
Listen closely. This one matters!</p>

<p>One missed phone call can cost you $2,000–$10,000 in lost revenue.
Miss ten? That’s six figures straight in the trash!</p>
<p>Yet half the industry is still arguing about whether online scheduling ‘feels impersonal’ and refusing to let an AI voice answer the phone for eight seconds. Maybe you’ll feel differently after this episode.. </p>
<p>Today, Julian Scadden — the president of Nexstar Network — steps into the ring and swings for the fences to join us on Exit Rich (soon to be renamed: Build It To Sell It)! </p>
<p>Why This Episode Is an Absolute Must-Listen:
-The brutal cost of missing just ONE phone call (and why most owners have zero clue how many they’re actually losing)
-Why “You are NOT your customer” is the most profitable sentence you’ll ever tell your techs… and yourself
-AI call agents, online scheduling, automated disclaimers — Julian reveals exactly where the industry is going and why fighting it is suicide
-The real reason Nexstar still refuses to coach roofers (even though Lance keeps begging)
Entrepreneur Tip of the Week: Success leaves clues. Stop trying to be original and just copy what already works.
See you next time Exiters!</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome back to another episode of Exit Rich, where we dive into the unsexy stuff that actually grows your business (and makes you rich enough to take real vacations — not the “workcation” your spouse knows is a lie). 
Today, I’m sitting down with Fred Castonguary of Reworked AI — a guy who somehow turned the world’s most boring topic (data) into something explosive… predictable customer acquisition. Yes, really!
If you’re a roofer, solar pro, investor, or anyone who hates wasting money on marketing that doesn’t work… this episode is your blueprint. Fred’s team has built one of the most impressive data models in the industry — identifying damaged roofs, predicting who will actually buy, and handing you the leads that convert without the “spray and pray” marketing.
This is targeting on steroids… without the drama, guesswork, or mailing 100,000 people to get 10 callbacks.
Highlights
AI + roof imagery + homeowner demographics = unfair advantage
Use this data to target FB, IG, YT, Google Ads &amp; canvassing
75% of roofing jobs are financed — so credit data matters
Data removes guesswork, saves money, and increases ROI
This episode is the perfect example of entrepreneurship in 2025 going into the year 2026:
 If you can combine data, AI, and a boring industry… you print money!!</p>

                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome back to another episode of Exit Rich, where we dive into the unsexy stuff that actually grows your business (and makes you rich enough to take real vacations — not the “workcation” your spouse knows is a lie). <br>
Today, I’m sitting down with Fred Castonguary of Reworked AI — a guy who somehow turned the world’s most boring topic (data) into something explosive… predictable customer acquisition. Yes, really!<br>
If you’re a roofer, solar pro, investor, or anyone who hates wasting money on marketing that doesn’t work… this episode is your blueprint. Fred’s team has built one of the most impressive data models in the industry — identifying damaged roofs, predicting who will actually buy, and handing you the leads that convert without the “spray and pray” marketing.<br>
This is targeting on steroids… without the drama, guesswork, or mailing 100,000 people to get 10 callbacks.<br>
Highlights<br>
AI + roof imagery + homeowner demographics = unfair advantage<br>
Use this data to target FB, IG, YT, Google Ads &amp; canvassing<br>
75% of roofing jobs are financed — so credit data matters<br>
Data removes guesswork, saves money, and increases ROI<br>
This episode is the perfect example of entrepreneurship in 2025 going into the year 2026:<br>
 If you can combine data, AI, and a boring industry… you print money!!</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>When a 10-foot bull shark charges straight at you underwater… most people would be “fin-ished.” Richard Bassett? He just stared it down, stayed ice-cold, and watched it turn away. You won’t wanna hear about this unique industry and how Rich has never looked back.. Unless there is a shark behind him!
Today I’ve got the CEO of – the Barnacle King – and how Rich went from a chill underwater photographer scraping barnacles off mega-yachts in South Florida… to building a 30%-a-year, recurring-revenue empire that now runs itself while he kicks back in Atlanta.
Picture this: You’re 80 feet down under water, alone…when a 10-foot bull shark – one of the most aggressive predators on the planet – comes straight at you! We get to hear all about this experience and how Rich is making HUGE waves in this wet and wild industry.</p>
<p>Highlight Clips
-Bull Shark Charged Straight At Me Underwater – Full Story
-10-Year-Old Washing Cars for Cash → Barnacle King Origin
-“Raise Your Prices Tomorrow… Or Never Talk to Me Again”
-Raised Prices Overnight – Didn’t Lose a Single Client
-Staring Down a 10-ft Bull Shark Like It’s Nothing</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>This isn’t another “entrepreneur motivation” episode. This is the behind-the-scenes truth of how a scrappy start turned into an empire—and why most people tapping out early will never get results like this. Today, with the help of guest Peter Roth we break down how an ordinary grind turned into an extraordinary empire—built from a double-wide trailer and scaled to more than 300 employees. This is the raw, unfiltered roadmap of how mindset, culture, and relentless execution created a business most people only dream about. If you want to learn how real operators think, move, and win… you’re in the right place!</p>
<p>Highlights:
-The mindset shift that took the business from local hustle to national scale
-Why culture beats strategy when your team grows fast
-The move that transformed chaos into predictable profit
-The biggest mistake leaders make once momentum hits
-How the founder built loyalty, systems, and a winning team without formal “business training”
-The hidden truth about scaling that nobody on social media tells you</p>
<p> If you’re chasing growth, building a brand, or scaling a business from the ground up, this episode gives you the blueprint nobody shares publicly. Take these insights, implement fast, and keep coming back—because the game gets bigger, and so will you.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>If you’re still letting customers ‘think about it,’ you’re already losing the sale…</p>
<p>In-home sales can be brutal… especially when you’re sitting at the kitchen table praying a $20K deal doesn’t get nuked by a bad credit score. But what if the entire financing process—prime, near-prime, or “can’t even finance a cup of coffee”—could be frictionless? Today, we dive into the world contractors wish existed… and yes, it actually does. In this episode, I bring to you Steve Poole of FINTURF, the platform reshaping how contractors close deals, eliminate awkward denials, and turn financing into a superpower instead of a headache.</p>
<p>Episode Highlights
-Why most customers won’t cut a $20K check—but will happily say yes to $200/month
-The real reason your technicians aren’t closing more… and how to fix it instantly
-Prime, near-prime, subprime: what the credit tiers really mean for your sales team</p>
<p>Tune in, take notes, and get ready to level up your entire sales process. Your team, your customers, and your revenue will thank you.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>There’s a point in every entrepreneur’s journey where the truth smacks you in the face: you can’t outwork broken systems.
 Today, we dig into that moment with someone who rebuilt everything from the ground up. I’m joined by Jake Lawson, founder and CEO of Extraordinary Flooring — a 20-year veteran who pushed past $4M and built a movement dedicated to taking people from ordinary to extraordinary.
Jake doesn’t just talk numbers. He talks about marriage, mindset, leadership, legacy — and the gritty realities of commercial work, cash flow pressure, team issues, and what scaling really takes. This episode hits hard because it’s raw, real, and immediately actionable.</p>
<p>Episode Highlights
-Why most entrepreneurs should aim to sell at $10M–$20M, not chase unicorn fantasies
-The mindset shift behind Jake’s personal brand: Make It Extraordinary
-His bold plan to sell for $50M — and the roadmap to get there
-Real talk on mentorship, hiring, accountability, and building teams that actually execute
-How to keep your smile (and sanity) while grinding through the toughest seasons</p>
<p>Jake isn’t just building a business — he’s building a life that matches his ambition. His journey proves that success comes from alignment: the right systems, the right partner, the right mindset, and the right “why.” Whether you’re chasing your first million or swinging for a BHAG, this episode will sharpen you and fire you up to make your next move truly extraordinary.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome Exit Rich fans! Today, we will dive deep into the minds behind Culture Matters — Jay Doran and COO Jenna — a duo transforming how leaders think about people, identity, and the real meaning of culture inside a company. We get raw about fatherhood, time, trauma, leadership, philosophy, reading, grit, and what it truly takes to build a business whose people actually want to stay and grow.
Jay opens up about his background — being fostered at five days old, raised by a woman named Barbara, supported by an entire village of aunts, uncles, and mentors, and growing up with two mothers who shaped him in completely different ways. His story of resilience, grit, curiosity, and self-education reveals why he became obsessed with understanding people and the psychology of culture.
This conversation goes way beyond “culture as a buzzword.” It’s a masterclass in self-awareness, team-building, identity formation, and the power of lived experience in shaping great leaders.</p>
<p>We explore:
-Why most companies misunderstand “culture”
-How lived experience creates deeper leadership range
-Why reading and philosophy fuel Jay’s strategic thinking
-The trap generational wealth creates for second-generation operators
-Why clarity, buy-in, and incentives are the pillars of culture</p>
<p>This episode is a rare mix of vulnerability, strategy, and real-world wisdom. Jay and Jenna don’t just talk about culture — they live it, breathe it, and teach it at a level most leaders never reach. If you’re building a team, scaling a company, or trying to lead with more clarity, this conversation will challenge you, stretch you, and stay with you long after the episode ends.</p>

                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome Exit Rich fans! Today, we will dive deep into the minds behind Culture Matters — Jay Doran and COO Jenna — a duo transforming how leaders think about people, identity, and the real meaning of culture inside a company. We get raw about fatherhood, time, trauma, leadership, philosophy, reading, grit, and what it truly takes to build a business whose people actually want to stay and grow.<br>
Jay opens up about his background — being fostered at five days old, raised by a woman named Barbara, supported by an entire village of aunts, uncles, and mentors, and growing up with two mothers who shaped him in completely different ways. His story of resilience, grit, curiosity, and self-education reveals why he became obsessed with understanding people and the psychology of culture.<br>
This conversation goes way beyond “culture as a buzzword.” It’s a masterclass in self-awareness, team-building, identity formation, and the power of lived experience in shaping great leaders.</p>
<p>We explore:<br>
-Why most companies misunderstand “culture”<br>
-How lived experience creates deeper leadership range<br>
-Why reading and philosophy fuel Jay’s strategic thinking<br>
-The trap generational wealth creates for second-generation operators<br>
-Why clarity, buy-in, and incentives are the pillars of culture</p>
<p>This episode is a rare mix of vulnerability, strategy, and real-world wisdom. Jay and Jenna don’t just talk about culture — they live it, breathe it, and teach it at a level most leaders never reach. If you’re building a team, scaling a company, or trying to lead with more clarity, this conversation will challenge you, stretch you, and stay with you long after the episode ends.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Too many people treat insurance like a boring necessity — until it’s the only thing standing between them and disaster. They say most insurance guys sell you “coverage” — until you realize you were never really covered. On this episode of the Exit Rich Podcast, I sat down with my friend and powerhouse operator, Jimmy Loomis, COO of The Lumis Company, a third-generation family business that grew from a double-wide trailer into a 300-employee national insurance and technology firm. We dive into what it really takes to scale a legacy business, why insurance is more about operations than policies, and how getting your coverage right could be the difference between a smooth sale — or a financial nightmare.</p>
<p>Highlights:
-The truth about self-funded health plans and stop-loss protection.
-Why under-insuring before selling a business can destroy your deal.
-The importance of umbrella policies and protecting your personal assets.
-Lessons from three generations of leadership, legacy, and hustle.
-The mindset that keeps Jimmy humble, grounded, and still first in the office.</p>
<p>Jimmy proves that the real winners don’t just sell insurance… They build protection around everything they’ve worked for. Because when the storm hits, it’s not about who’s cheapest — it’s about who’s covered.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome back Exiters! In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with my friend and former mastermind member, Helmi Ben Flah, founder of Guaranteed Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning — or as most people know it, Guaranteed Service out of New Jersey.
Helmi built his company from the ground up in 2018 — and just seven years later, he sold it for life-changing, generational wealth. But what’s even more powerful than the sale itself is the story behind it: his loyalty to learning, to his people, and to betting on himself when it mattered most.
In this conversation, we dive deep into how he went from being a software engineer who immigrated from Tunisia, to a self-made American success story — one who believes that “if you’re not a multimillionaire in America, you’re just being lazy.”
We talk about the mindset it takes to start from zero, turn stress into success, and why loyalty doesn’t just mean staying true to others — it means staying committed to your own growth.
Episode Highlights:</p>
<p>-Choosing the right partner: Behind the scenes of picking between multiple LOIs and why trust mattered more than the money.
-The power of betting on yourself: The moment he walked away from a deal, doubled down, and came back stronger with a bigger exit.
-From Tunisia to the American Dream: How Helmi turned $500 in his pocket into a multimillion-dollar business and a legacy for his family.
-People over profit: Why your employees are your biggest asset — and how to build a culture where everyone wins.</p>
<p>This episode is a reminder that loyalty isn’t just about sticking with others — it’s about sticking with your purpose. Helmi showed us that self-education, discipline, and relentless drive are what truly break ceilings.</p>

This episode is a reminder that loyalty isn’t just about sticking with others — it’s about sticking with your purpose. Helmi showed us that self-education, discipline, and relentless drive are what truly break ceilings.

What if 54% of your happiest customers want to send you jobs… but they’re secretly forgetting you exist? One 31-year-old dad of four just built a weapon that forces them to remember—and it’s under $1,000/month. Stay locked… because if you skip this episode, someone else is about to hijack your referrals.
-83% Want to Refer… Only 29% Do – Where’s the missing 54% hiding?
-$1K vs $50K Marketing – Why contractors are torching cash while this runs on autopilot.</p>
<p>Episode Breakdown:
Murphy Nadel (CEO, ReferPro) exposes the Referral Black Hole: 83% of customers are willing to refer, yet only 29% actually do. ReferPro’s AI-text + ServiceTitan integration wakes the silent 54% with personalized QR codes, tech badges, and instant spiffs—turning customers into a 24/7 sales army.

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Hey podcast powerhouses! Your bold guide to breaking the mold is back again with a fresh new episode and guest, unfiltered and nothing but the truth to be told. Today I’m chatting with Ismael Valdez—self-made legend who went from $0 to MILLIONAIRE! Ismael Valdez is a Mexican immigrant who hustled from supply house clerk to selling his HVAC beast for $110M, then bet it all on Nuva, the thermostat disrupting Honeywell’s grip (now valued at $80-100M in under 2 years!). Immigrant roots, faith-fueled grit, and a “go broke to get rich” vibe—let’s unpack why he’s rewriting the contractor playbook!
Get ready to rethink risk and riches!</p>
<p>Highlights
-Risking It All: Ishmael’s “go broke to get rich” mindset could transform your contractor hustle.
-Tech Revolution: Nuva’s thermostat tech slashes customer acquisition costs—why aren’t you using it?
Thanks for listening! Shoutout to sponsors Service Titan and Rilla for powering our growth. Check out Nuva at nuva.com or connect with Ishmael on Instagram/Facebook at Ismael Valdez CEO or join his New Networks Group. Keep hustling, folks!</p>

Your bold guide to breaking the mold is back again with a fresh new episode and guest, unfiltered and nothing but the truth to be told. Today I’m chatting with Ismael Valdez—self-made legend who went from $0 to MILLIONAIRE! Ismael Valdez is a Mexican immigrant who hustled from supply house clerk to selling his HVAC beast for $110M, then bet it all on Nuva, the thermostat disrupting Honeywell’s grip (now valued at $80-100M in under 2 years!). Immigrant roots, faith-fueled grit, and a “go broke to get rich” vibe—let’s unpack why he’s rewriting the contractor playbook!<br>
Get ready to rethink risk and riches!</p>
<p>Highlights<br>
-Risking It All: Ishmael’s “go broke to get rich” mindset could transform your contractor hustle.<br>
-Tech Revolution: Nuva’s thermostat tech slashes customer acquisition costs—why aren’t you using it?<br>
Thanks for listening! Shoutout to sponsors Service Titan and Rilla for powering our growth. Check out Nuva at nuva.com or connect with Ishmael on Instagram/Facebook at Ismael Valdez CEO or join his New Networks Group. Keep hustling, folks!</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome Exiters! I can’t wait to share this episode with you today. I sat down with Moe Abbas — the man behind The One Meeting Close and CEO of SalesAsk, home of the world’s most advanced AI sales coach.
We talk about why the “good talker” stereotype in sales is dead, how AI is already outperforming top sales coaches, and what it really takes to scale a business from $1M to $40M and beyond.
Moe breaks down the biggest mistakes contractors make when trying to grow, why speed of execution beats perfection every time, and how his AI platform is changing the way teams train and close deals.
If you’re serious about sales, leadership, or scaling your business — this is the conversation you need to hear.</p>
<p>🎯 Topics We Cover:
-Why your “old-school” sales manager can’t keep up
-The secret behind companies that scale fast (hint: it’s not luck)
-Why rapport is overrated and trust is everything
-The power of a proven process in closing deals
-How AI is rewriting the rules of sales coaching</p>
<p>🔥 Plus: Don’t miss the Roofing Process Conference — Dec 3–5 at Marco Island. Tickets are going fast!</p>

        <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Welcome Exiters! I can’t wait to share this episode with you today. I sat down with Moe Abbas — the man behind The One Meeting Close and CEO of SalesAsk, home of the world’s most advanced AI sales coach.We talk about why the “good talker” stereotype in sales is dead, how AI is already outperforming top sales coaches, and what it really takes to scale a business from $1M to $40M and beyond.Moe breaks down the biggest mistakes contractors make when trying to grow, why speed of execution beats perfection every time, and how his AI platform is changing the way teams train and close deals.If you’re serious about sales, leadership, or scaling your business — this is the conversation you need to hear.
🎯 Topics We Cover:-Why your “old-school” sales manager can’t keep up-The secret behind companies that scale fast (hint: it’s not luck)-Why rapport is overrated and trust is everything-The power of a proven process in closing deals-How AI is rewriting the rules of sales coaching
🔥 Plus: Don’t miss the Roofing Process Conference — Dec 3–5 at Marco Island. Tickets are going fast!

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Get ready to roar with excitement on Exit Rich! I’m thrilled to unleash my chat with Al Zone, CEO of Elmwood Park Zoo, a guy who’s tamed a struggling zoo and turned it into a wild jungle of success. Since 2014, Al’s taken Elmwood from a measly 110,000 visitors to a roaring 1.2 million annually, and his growth strategies are pure animal instinct—perfectly aligned with what we do in home services and beyond. As my close friend, Al’s story of relationships, community, and gritty execution will leave you howling for more. So let you raw instinct loose, this is a GGRRRRRRREAT episode waiting for you!</p>
<p>Key Moments
-Relationships Are Everything: Al and I connected through a mutual colleague, Christian Hernandez, and clicked instantly. Our friendship led to me helping Elmwood dominate Google searches, using tricks like $13 beacons at an AZA conference to drive traffic. My sister Jolyn’s on their board, proving how real relationships open doors and fuel growth.
-Community Impact: Al’s all about giving back. He welcomed kids from Glen Mills for free, feeding them and creating life-changing experiences with animals, despite slim odds of their return. This community focus, like being the first autism-certified and pet-friendly zoo, drives brand loyalty and growth.
-Team Building &amp; Culture: From 32 to over 300 employees, Al treats the zoo like a “mini Google” with a vibrant welcome center and vet hospital. He fosters a Chick-fil-A-like vibe where everyone’s happy, picking up trash himself to set the standard. His COO, Eric Dunovan (22 years at Elmwood), and CFO, Raffaella Tint (16 years), are key to managing personalities and financials.
-Hiring &amp; Firing Fast: Al’s coaching mentality means spotting toxic employees in 30-60 days and cutting them to protect the team. He ensures dignity in exits but stresses tough calls are non-negotiable to avoid business failure. Everyone’s replaceable except those truly vested in the mission.
-Marketing &amp; Social Media: Al embraced social media, using live giraffe cams and caption-heavy videos to capture attention, as people watch without sound. My team helped him stay ahead, blanketing the area with creative campaigns like Wild Lights, a holiday drive-thru that pulled 225,000 visitors.

                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Get ready to roar with excitement on Exit Rich! I’m thrilled to unleash my chat with Al Zone, CEO of Elmwood Park Zoo, a guy who’s tamed a struggling zoo and turned it into a wild jungle of success. Since 2014, Al’s taken Elmwood from a measly 110,000 visitors to a roaring 1.2 million annually, and his growth strategies are pure animal instinct—perfectly aligned with what we do in home services and beyond. As my close friend, Al’s story of relationships, community, and gritty execution will leave you howling for more. So let you raw instinct loose, this is a GGRRRRRRREAT episode waiting for you!</p>
<p>Key Moments<br>
-Relationships Are Everything: Al and I connected through a mutual colleague, Christian Hernandez, and clicked instantly. Our friendship led to me helping Elmwood dominate Google searches, using tricks like $13 beacons at an AZA conference to drive traffic. My sister Jolyn’s on their board, proving how real relationships open doors and fuel growth.<br>
-Community Impact: Al’s all about giving back. He welcomed kids from Glen Mills for free, feeding them and creating life-changing experiences with animals, despite slim odds of their return. This community focus, like being the first autism-certified and pet-friendly zoo, drives brand loyalty and growth.<br>
-Team Building &amp; Culture: From 32 to over 300 employees, Al treats the zoo like a “mini Google” with a vibrant welcome center and vet hospital. He fosters a Chick-fil-A-like vibe where everyone’s happy, picking up trash himself to set the standard. His COO, Eric Dunovan (22 years at Elmwood), and CFO, Raffaella Tint (16 years), are key to managing personalities and financials.<br>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Buckle up for a wild ride on today’s Exit Rich! I’m pumped to bring you my raw, unfiltered chat with Travis Ringe, the guy who flipped my world upside down. No Joke! Five years ago, at Vertical Track, this dude’s story of cashing out big-time lit a fire under me. Without him, I wouldn’t have sold six companies for hundreds of millions and today we are here to share this knowledge with you. Travis is the real deal—no BS, just straight-up game-changing insights. We dive into his ProSkill Services exit, his bold new ventures, and the gritty lessons that’ll make you rethink everything.
Travis keeps it low-key but drops pure gold. Watch for more from him, and if you’re in HVAC, get on NUVE—it’s a customer-retention weapon.</p>
<p>Key Moments
-The Power of Networking: Travis’s story proves conferences and masterminds are worth their weight in gold. I now drop hundreds of thousands yearly to rub elbows with the right people, all because of that fateful meeting. Travis says the real juice is in the connections and knowledge swaps, not just the stage talks.
-Post-Exit Challenges: After selling, Travis tried retiring but crashed hard into “seller’s depression,” boozing nightly and losing his edge for six months. He learned the hard way that entrepreneurs need a post-exit plan, or you’ll be a miserable wreck.
-Roofing Business Insights: Travis’s roofing gig in bone-dry Phoenix has been a grind due to scarce rain. He advises checking Google AdWords for search volume and weather patterns before jumping into markets like roofing. Still, his company’s profitable and could fetch $15-16 million at sale.
-Operational Excellence: Travis hammers home the need to grow managers from within to keep processes tight and accountability fiercer. He warns against the pipe dream of flipping a company fast without rock-solid systems—private equity sharks sniff out sloppy operations.
-Family and Balance: A family man with a wife and two kids, Travis says family keeps you grounded and driven. He regrets missing his kids’ early years while chasing business glory and sold partly to show up for them. He stresses picking a partner who can handle your chaos—way more critical than any business deal.
-Advice for Young Entrepreneurs: Travis tells hotshot wannabes to chill the hell out. Overnight success is a myth. He built ProSkill over a decade, debt-free, focusing on customer experience. His advice: build a loyal customer base, bulletproof processes, and a killer network—don’t chase quick cash.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome back for PART 2 Exiter! If you haven’t watched PART 1 yet be sure to go watch that episode and then come back for this one right after. I’m pumped to bring you this explosive Exit Rich episode with my brother-from-another-mother, Tommy Mello, the mastermind behind A1 Garage Door Service, a $300M empire! This isn’t just a chat—it’s a masterclass in crushing it, staying laser-focused, and building a legacy that’ll make haters cry. Tommy’s raw, no-BS insights will light a fire under you to scale, sell, and live life on YOUR terms. Buckle up!</p>
<p>Episode Highlights
-Become a Talent MAGNET: Tommy’s secret to scaling? Be the best recruiter and trainer. He’s got 52 techs graduating this month, all trained to create raving fans. Oh, and 48 of them joined because of his social media hustle. Personal branding = POWER.
-Data is Your GOLDMINE: With 1.6M customers in his database, Tommy’s milking every lead with a 55% close rate at $847 per ticket. Stop sleeping on your data—mine it like a boss!
-Life After the Exit: Tommy’s building dream homes in Idaho and PV, investing in his family office, and giving back through Home Freedom and philanthropy. But don’t get it twisted—he’s gunning for a $5B legacy in 5 years, living off compound interest!
-Say NO to Shiny Objects: Tommy learned the hard way—popcorn ventures and side hustles are time-sucks. Focus on your core (home services, anyone?) and watch your empire grow.
-Networking is EVERYTHING: Our friendship started at a podcast, led to a keynote at Vertical Track, and changed my life. Get in the room—Home Freedom, roofing conferences, wherever the big dogs play. Your tribe is your ticket to millions.
-Work Hard, Live HARDER: Tommy’s balancing family, faith, and fun while still running the show. From buying Cardinals seats for his team to snowmobiling in Idaho, he’s living his best life—and you should too!</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome back to Exit Rich with a fresh new episode jam packed with wisdom. This episode I am sitting down with my good friend of seven years, Tommy Mello, founder of A1 Garage Door Service. Tommy’s a home service titan who’s scaled his business to over $300M in revenue with a 26% profit margin, sold half to private equity, and is gearing up for another BIG exit. This episode is packed with raw insights on building wealth, staying focused, crushing it in home services, and why haters are just noise. Get ready to cannonball right into the deep end and make a BIG splash! 
Come back later this wee for part 2!</p>
<p>Episode Highlights:</p>
<p>-From Failure to $300M Success: Tommy calls his first 10 years in business “practice” and an “overnight success of two decades.” Persistence and learning from mistakes are non-negotiable.</p>
<p>-Private Equity: A Game-Changer: Selling half his business to a PE firm gave Tommy a “blank checkbook” to scale faster. </p>
<p>-Personal Branding Pays: PayPal’s $200K CEO content role proves leaders’ visibility is a business strategy. </p>
<p>-Say No to Shiny Objects: From popcorn to AI ventures, Tommy and I learned to stick to our core—home services.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome back Exiter! Glad to see you. I’m stoked to bring you back to the podcast for this fire episode of Exit Rich with podcast host from Dropping Bombs and millionaire entrepreneur, the one and only Brad Lea! If you haven’t watched part 1 yet go check it out and come back for part 2. This one’s raw, unfiltered, and packed with truth bombs about value, sales, and cutting through the BS in business and life. Buckle up, because we’re diving even DEEPER into the mindset that’s made Brad a legend and why “free” is a four-letter word in my book. This guy is a riot to be around and after you give me a follow be sure to go give him one as well!</p>
<p>Why This Episode Slaps:
This wasn’t just a podcast—it was a masterclass in owning your value, cutting through the noise, and building something real. Brad and I went hard on why people fail (hint: they don’t bet on themselves), why sales is the ultimate skill, and how to stay authentic in a world full of posers. Plus, we had some laughs roasting the haters and their $140 tickets to nowhere.
Today’s episode was YOUR wake-up call. Stop undervaluing yourself, stop chasing “free,” and start betting on your OWN human capital. Brad Lea’s living proof that authenticity, sales chops, and a debt-free mindset can take you to the top. Let’s keep it real, and let’s keep dropping bombs!</p>

I’m stoked to bring you back to the podcast for this fire episode of Exit Rich with podcast host from Dropping Bombs and millionaire entrepreneur, the one and only Brad Lea! If you haven’t watched part 1 yet go check it out and come back for part 2. This one’s raw, unfiltered, and packed with truth bombs about value, sales, and cutting through the BS in business and life. Buckle up, because we’re diving even DEEPER into the mindset that’s made Brad a legend and why “free” is a four-letter word in my book. This guy is a riot to be around and after you give me a follow be sure to go give him one as well!</p>
<p>Why This Episode Slaps:<br>
This wasn’t just a podcast—it was a masterclass in owning your value, cutting through the noise, and building something real. Brad and I went hard on why people fail (hint: they don’t bet on themselves), why sales is the ultimate skill, and how to stay authentic in a world full of posers. Plus, we had some laughs roasting the haters and their $140 tickets to nowhere.<br>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>What’s good Exiters?! Today Exit Rich is coming at you with some straight-up FIRE from the Dropping Bombs Studio! I’m hyped to bring you an explosive episode with my good friend, the one and only Brad Lea – entrepreneur, sales guru, and host of the top-tier Dropping Bombs podcast. Buckle up, because we’re diving deep into the mindset, hustle, and no-BS approach that’s taken Brad from lower middle class upbringing to multi-million-dollar mogul. </p>
<p>🔥Episode Highlights
Mindset of a Millionaire: Brad’s been dreaming big since he was SIX! He knew he’d be rich, and he’s living proof that believing in yourself is the ultimate cheat code. From a blue-collar upbringing to a multi-million-dollar empire, Brad’s story is a masterclass in owning your destiny.</p>
<p>What’s “Rich” Anyway?: We get real about what it means to be rich. Spoiler: it’s not just about the money, but yeah, 50 mil sounds pretty damn rich! Brad breaks down why lifestyle matters and how to level up without losing your soul.</p>
<p>Sales is Life: Brad drops truth bombs on why EVERY successful person is selling something. CEOs, politicians, you name it – if you’re not selling, you’re not winning. He calls out the weak training most companies rely on (hint: it’s just “exposure,” not real training) and shows how to build a sales machine that dominates.</p>
<p>No Fear of the Camera: Brad’s a natural on camera, but he gets real about overcoming the fear of judgment (yep, it’s called alloxophobia). His advice? Stop caring what others think and start making YOURSELF happy. That’s how you break out of the cage and build a personal brand that slaps.</p>
<p>Grant Cardone &amp; Backgammon Drama: Brad spills the tea on his business dealings with Grant Cardone and a wild $600K backgammon bet that went sideways. It’s a lesson in business, loyalty, and knowing when to walk away – without burning bridges.</p>
<p>Ready to scale your business, train your team like a pro, and exit RICH? Check out LightSpeed and level up your sales game. Plus, tune into Brad’s Dropping Bombs podcast for more truth bombs that’ll blow your mind and some great and entertaining guests. Want to grow your home services empire? Hit up ServiceTitan and Rilla – our sponsors who’ve got the tech to make it happen.</p>
<p>Big thanks to Brad Lea for dropping knowledge and letting us take over the Dropping Bombs Studio! And to our sponsors, ServiceTitan and Rilla, for helping us scale and exit rich. Keep hustling, fam – let’s get that 50 mil vibe!</p>
<p>Stay tuned for more episodes of Exit Rich Home Services, where we bring the heat to help YOU build, scale, and sell!</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>From addiction to pure ambition– Most roofers chase insurance checks. These guys chased retail—and cashed out $20 million in their first year!</p>
<p>That’s the power of mindset, leadership, and having the will to fight through the hard stuff. 
Welcome back Exiters, I’m sitting down with guests Adam Finick and Travis Kenny from Planet Roof, who took their roofing business from the ground to skyhigh. We’re talking raw, unfiltered truths about overcoming addiction, building a powerhouse brand, and why your ego might be flatlining your profits. This is the kind of episode that’ll make you rethink everything—don’t miss the next one, or you’re leaving millions on the table!
If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to go from struggling to unstoppable, from chasing checks to building real wealth—this conversation will show you exactly how it’s done. Let’s get into it.</p>
<p>Key Takeaways That’ll Blow Your Mind:
-From Addiction to Millions: Adam and Travis beat homelessness and addiction to build a $20M empire. If they can overcome that, you can crush your excuses and build a business that lasts. Faith and grit win every time.</p>
<p>-Will Beats Skill: I’d take a fighter with heart over a skilled quitter any day. Adam and Travis prove that relentless drive and a purpose (like family) will outshine talent alone. Find your why and fight for it.</p>
<p>-Branding Isn’t Just a Logo: Their old “tough guy” logo scared off homeowners. A pro rebrand and wrapped trucks made them look like a $100M company. Invest in branding—yard signs, uniforms, social media—or stay invisible.</p>
<p>-Finance Your Way to Growth: Offering financing flipped their sales—75% of deals now financed. Homeowners want options, not out-of-pocket pain. This one move skyrocketed their growth. Are you missing this?</p>
<p>**Why You NEED to Keep Tuning In:
This episode is a wake-up call for every contractor stuck in the grind. Adam and Travis laid bare the struggles, the ego checks, and the systems that turned their lives around. Next episode, we’re diving deeper into the strategies that’ll take your home services business from surviving to thriving. Subscribe now, because missing out means missing your shot at building a legacy. Let’s EXIT RICH together!</p>

                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From addiction to pure ambition– Most roofers chase insurance checks. These guys chased retail—and cashed out $20 million in their first year!</p>
<p>That’s the power of mindset, leadership, and having the will to fight through the hard stuff. <br>
Welcome back Exiters, I’m sitting down with guests Adam Finick and Travis Kenny from Planet Roof, who took their roofing business from the ground to skyhigh. We’re talking raw, unfiltered truths about overcoming addiction, building a powerhouse brand, and why your ego might be flatlining your profits. This is the kind of episode that’ll make you rethink everything—don’t miss the next one, or you’re leaving millions on the table!<br>
If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to go from struggling to unstoppable, from chasing checks to building real wealth—this conversation will show you exactly how it’s done. Let’s get into it.</p>
<p>Key Takeaways That’ll Blow Your Mind:<br>
-From Addiction to Millions: Adam and Travis beat homelessness and addiction to build a $20M empire. If they can overcome that, you can crush your excuses and build a business that lasts. Faith and grit win every time.</p>
<p>-Will Beats Skill: I’d take a fighter with heart over a skilled quitter any day. Adam and Travis prove that relentless drive and a purpose (like family) will outshine talent alone. Find your why and fight for it.</p>
<p>-Branding Isn’t Just a Logo: Their old “tough guy” logo scared off homeowners. A pro rebrand and wrapped trucks made them look like a $100M company. Invest in branding—yard signs, uniforms, social media—or stay invisible.</p>
<p>-Finance Your Way to Growth: Offering financing flipped their sales—75% of deals now financed. Homeowners want options, not out-of-pocket pain. This one move skyrocketed their growth. Are you missing this?</p>
<p>**Why You NEED to Keep Tuning In:<br>
This episode is a wake-up call for every contractor stuck in the grind. Adam and Travis laid bare the struggles, the ego checks, and the systems that turned their lives around. Next episode, we’re diving deeper into the strategies that’ll take your home services business from surviving to thriving. Subscribe now, because missing out means missing your shot at building a legacy. Let’s EXIT RICH together!</p>

<p>Hey Exiters! It’s Lance Bachmann, your host and today I’m bringing you another electrifying episode of Exit Rich Home Services! I sat down with the incredible Marko Siplia, who is ONLY 23-year-old and crushing it as the founder of Coating Launch and the game-changing HVAC Quote (find both websites below). We dove deep into the gritty realities of home services marketing, the secrets to scaling fast, and why taking accountability is your ticket to millions. </p>
<p>Buckle up—these insights are pure gold, and you’ll want to tune in next time to keep your business soaring! </p>
<p>Key Takeaways That’ll Hook You:
-Stop Making Excuses, Start Owning It: I learned the hard way—nobody grows a multi-million-dollar company by pointing fingers. Look in the mirror, take responsibility, and watch your business explode. Miss this, and you’re stuck in the slow lane.
-Spend the Money to Win: The contractors killing it aren’t pinching pennies—they’re investing heavily in Google and Facebook ads. Marco’s dropping millions a year on ad budgets, and it’s paying off big. Want to scale to $10M+? You can’t afford to sit out.
-Speed to Lead Is Everything: We touch our leads at LB Capital 17 times in the first week—10 in the first day! Most contractors? Barely 10% are this relentless. Master your follow-up, or you’re throwing cash out the window.
Why You Can’t Miss the Next Episode:
We’re just getting started! If you want to know how to turn your home services business into a wealth-building machine, you have to keep tuning in. Next time, we’ll unpack more insider secrets, from dodging costly marketing mistakes to leveraging tools that’ll have your competitors eating dust.

On today’s newest episode of Exit Rich, I sit down with Joshua and Sean Taylor, the brothers behind Roofing Pups, Roofing &amp; Siding — a company that went from $2 million to a projected $17 million in just one year… all retail, no insurance. Yeah, you read that right. No storm chasing. No quick insurance money. Just pure hustle, leadership, and a brand that stuck.</p>
<p>**Watch to find out what their biggest  “Oh, sh__” moment was… and the breakthrough that followed after.**</p>
<p>Reality Check Time: Most people want the reward without the suffering. These guys leaned into it, and that’s why they’re winning. If you’re not willing to sacrifice, don’t expect to succeed. Period.
So what’s stopping you from building the business (and life) you actually want? </p>

        <itunes:summary><![CDATA[You sacrifice. You suffer. You succeed. That’s the game — but most people quit somewhere between suffering and success.On today’s newest episode of Exit Rich, I sit down with Joshua and Sean Taylor, the brothers behind Roofing Pups, Roofing &amp; Siding — a company that went from $2 million to a projected $17 million in just one year… all retail, no insurance. Yeah, you read that right. No storm chasing. No quick insurance money. Just pure hustle, leadership, and a brand that stuck.
**Watch to find out what their biggest  “Oh, sh__” moment was… and the breakthrough that followed after.**
Reality Check Time: Most people want the reward without the suffering. These guys leaned into it, and that’s why they’re winning. If you’re not willing to sacrifice, don’t expect to succeed. Period.So what’s stopping you from building the business (and life) you actually want?

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Steroids, bodybuilding, hurricanes, roofing videos—what do they all have in common? My guest for today… Most contractors hate the camera. They’ll spend all day on a roof in 100-degree heat, but ask them to hit record on their iPhone and suddenly they “don’t have time.” Patrick Carr saw the gap, built Blue Collar Media Group, and now he’s making contractors the authority in their market—whether they like it or not.</p>
<p>Here’s the kicker: he’s not selling them cookie-cutter marketing fluff. He’s flying out teams, scripting, filming, editing—the whole nine yards. Why? Because contractors deserve to look like pros, not amateurs with an iPhone in bad lighting.</p>
<p>Patrick and I dug into:
-His wild backstory as a bodybuilder, steroid battles, and the discipline it taught him.
-Why most contractors won’t post videos (spoiler: it’s not about time or money—it’s fear of judgment).
-The hurricane documentary that put his company on the map and landed on Fox News.
-Why “roofing content” is boring (and what actually grabs attention online).
-The brutal reality of private equity in roofing and why the honeymoon phase never lasts.
-How many videos a contractor under $5M should really be posting each week.
-Patrick pulls no punches about the future of roofing, the lies contractors tell themselves, and why the guy down the street shouldn’t be stealing food off your family’s table just because you’re too scared to post a video.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>We are back again with another entertaining and more importantly informative podcast just for you! In this episode, Nate sits down to share the raw truth behind explosive growth in the roofing industry: the sleepless nights, the clash of personalities, the pivotal conversations that nearly made him quit, and the mindset shift that kept him in the fight. From wrestling discipline to business warfare, Nate explains how he navigated a high-stakes merger, rebuilt company culture, shifted from insurance work to retail, and learned the power of financing and systems like ServiceTitan to scale without breaking.
A Little Background on Nate: Nate Link’s story starts in small-town Pennsylvania, running a modest $1.3M roofing business with his brother. One year later, he’s on track to do $20M in revenue—an achievement that took relentless sacrifice, uncomfortable leadership roles, and a willingness to bet on the right partnership.</p>
<p>You’ll hear:
-The real conversation that convinced Nate to give up 50% of his company
-Why the first 90 days of a merger feel like a rodeo—and how to survive it
-How a dinner in Marco Island turned conflict into alignment
-The “leader’s burden” and why quitting was almost the choice
-Why cheap roofs cost homeowners far more in the long run
-How financing options can transform your close rate and customer base
-The importance of character in partnerships and leadership
-Why black-and-white thinkers and gray-area thinkers can still win together</p>
<p>If you’ve ever dreamed of scaling your business fast—or if you’re in the middle of that whirlwind right now—this is the unfiltered playbook of what it really takes.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Everyone thinks they’re “just” a contractor, or “just” a sales trainer. Let me break it to you — you’re a marketing company, a sales company, a recruiting company, a tech company, and a leadership company. Nail those five, or nothing else matters.
Today I’ve got Gene Slade — an awesome guy who went from top HVAC tech to selling his own company for just under $2 million, and now runs one of the most recognized sales training companies in HVAC and plumbing. We get into how he used a two-hour radio show about AC units to pull in 2,000 leads a year, why most training programs fail, and the one massive leadership lesson that changed how he builds people.
This isn’t a “feel-good” chat. We talk about salespeople who don’t believe in what they sell, owners who have no real training culture, and why chaos ruins scaling. If you want to break past that $2M-$3M ceiling, double your average ticket, and actually build a company worth exiting — this is the blueprint.</p>
<p>We get into:
-Why most companies throw money at marketing but skip sales training — and how that destroys profits
-The #1 skill missing in salespeople (hint: it’s not product knowledge)
-The leadership blind spot that almost cost him his culture — and how he fixed it
-Why brand equity beats every short-term lead gen hack, and how to get it without wasting a decade
-His next big play: partnering with home service companies, doubling their average ticket, and taking a cut of the increase — no upfront fee</p>
<p>This episode is your wake-up call! 
Stop blaming the market. Stop blaming the labor pool. Start mastering the five businesses you’re really in — and watch everything change.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Most schools are built to pump out compliant employees—not problem-solvers, leaders, or business owners. They’re still running the same outdated playbook from a century ago: memorize, regurgitate, get the grade, move on. And here’s the kicker—none of it prepares kids for the real world. Most schools are still running on a 100-year-old factory model—designed to pump out employees, not entrepreneurs. That’s why I brought on Michael Marrone, founder of Liguori Academy, a private school in Philly that’s flipping the script on education.
Mike isn’t just giving kids grades—he’s giving them real-world skills that pay. We’re talking:
Cybersecurity</p>
<p>
Web design</p>
<p>
Healthcare careers</p>
<p>
And a full-blown trades program for construction, plumbing, and more</p>
<p>
If you’re a parent, business owner, or just someone who’s tired of watching kids graduate with zero life skills—this will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about school.
The future belongs to the kids who learn how to think, build, and lead. The question is—are we going to teach them right?</p>

<p> I don’t care how good your pitch is—if you’re wearing someone else’s brand on your head, you’ve already lost the sale. That’s how I met Miguel Mota Flores from Excel Roofing… wearing a Top Golf hat on our first FaceTime. I told him to take it off or I’d hang up. Why? Because success starts with owning your identity.
In this episode, you’re getting an unfiltered deep dive into what real business growth looks like—from the habits, systems, and mindset shifts that took Miguel from hustling insurance work to building a $7M+ retail roofing empire.</p>
<p>Here’s what we unpack:
-The mindset that took Miguel from guessing to scaling
-How journaling and daily reflection guide million-dollar decisions
-Why discipline and alignment—not motivation—are what truly move the needle
-The transition from door-knocking to strategic marketing
-Hiring, training, and building a team that hits goals
-The pain of insurance jobs vs. the freedom of retail work
-Real talk on knowing your numbers and building a business to sell</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Do you ever see those glossy 3D renderings of backyards with infinity pools, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens that look like a five-star resort? Me too… And that’s everyone wants in a luxury backyard. But 99% of the time, they can’t execute. That’s where Steve Griggs comes in…
Check it out.. I sat down with the man turning high-end backyards into luxurious, livable DREAMSCAPES—and charging top dollar to do it. Steve Griggs isn’t the cheapest. He’s not even trying to be. He’s built his brand on delivering high-touch, high-ticket experiences—and his clients LINE UP for it. Because who doesn’t wanna feel like they’re on vacation just steps outside their back door?
We get into:
-Why execution separates dreamers from real business owners
-How Steve closes $400K+ backyard projects and turns clients into lifelong fans
-Why selling your time is the dumbest thing you can do
-How his fence company does $1.5M with almost zero headaches
-The myth of the "picky luxury client"—and why rich people just want results
-The business model that runs without him—and the one that still needs his “magic fairy dust”
-Lessons from Grant Cardone, Dr. Oz, and a guy named George Fox who only does 12 jobs a year… and lives like a king</p>
<p>I challenge Steve to think about scaling. He challenges me right back. This isn’t some fluff convo about landscaping. It’s about pricing, positioning, execution, and how to build businesses that don’t own you.
If you’re in home services.. Especially the landscaping biz, sales, or just tired of chasing low-ticket work that leaves you broke and bitter—This episode is just for you!</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome back to the Exit Rich podcast. Today, I sat down with someone who’s not just talking the talk—Chris Lee actually did it! He sold his home service company for $340 million after scaling it from his garage to 1,100 employees in just four and a half years!!
We broke down everything most people will never tell you about selling a company to private equity: the brokers who fumble deals, the $42M inventory mistake that cost Chris a fortune, and why “market standard” is often code for “you’re getting played.” Get comfortable, you are not gonna wanna miss a second of this one!</p>
<p>I pressed Chris on:
-Why most coaching groups are run by people who’ve never exited anything
-How wrestling shaped his mental toughness
-The difference between playing chess and checkers in M&amp;A
-How he lost $70 million by signing the wrong LOI—and what you must know to avoid it
-Why debt-leveraged deals destroy growth
-The rise of AI in blue-collar business and why those who ignore it are toast</p>
<p>We also get real about coaching: why the best advice comes from operators, not influencers, and how his group at Next Level Coaching is building $125 billion in enterprise value by focusing on real-world execution—not fluff.
This episode is a blueprint for anyone trying to grow, scale, or sell their business. If you’ve got a seven-figure company and you think you’re ready for eight—listen twice…</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Think you’re profitable? Think again. This episode might save your business—before the numbers tell a different story!</p>
<p>You guys thought you were making money, didn’t you? Owner of Hail King Professionals Roofing- Landon Stokes along with Cameron are here to expose the raw truth!
I sit down with this crew, straight out of Texas, to uncover the real challenges keeping this company—and most other contractors—stuck. They’re sharp, humble, and hungry to grow, but like many business owners, they were facing hidden landmines: subcontractor chaos, budget breakdowns, commission confusion, and the stress of carrying too much on too few shoulders.</p>
<p>We break it down like this:
-Why subcontractors will eat your margins alive if you don’t get control
-The mindset shift from running with heart to building with strategy
-How budgeting, systems, and team-building aren’t just buzzwords—they’re survival tools
-The power of surrounding yourself with the right people—and why access = acceleration
-This is real talk from the trenches. No sugarcoating. No theory. Just two hard working guys facing the truth, making moves, and learning fast.</p>

<p>You guys thought you were making money, didn’t you? Owner of Hail King Professionals Roofing- Landon Stokes along with Cameron are here to expose the raw truth!<br>
I sit down with this crew, straight out of Texas, to uncover the real challenges keeping this company—and most other contractors—stuck. They’re sharp, humble, and hungry to grow, but like many business owners, they were facing hidden landmines: subcontractor chaos, budget breakdowns, commission confusion, and the stress of carrying too much on too few shoulders.</p>
<p>We break it down like this:<br>
-Why subcontractors will eat your margins alive if you don’t get control<br>
-The mindset shift from running with heart to building with strategy<br>
-How budgeting, systems, and team-building aren’t just buzzwords—they’re survival tools<br>
-The power of surrounding yourself with the right people—and why access = acceleration<br>
-This is real talk from the trenches. No sugarcoating. No theory. Just two hard working guys facing the truth, making moves, and learning fast.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>You can go fast alone—but if you want to go far, you better find your crew.
In this week’s power-packed episode, I sat down with my good friend and fellow entrepreneur Doug McCay from Patriot Heating, Air &amp; Fuel Oil in Bucks County, PA. Today, in the shorter but AWESOME episode we dove headfirst into the real challenges business owners often face daily— and we don’t hold back on the truth here… Doug’s running multiple companies, raising a family, and still finds time to weld a pipe if the job needs doing. Sound familiar?</p>
<p>Here’s what’s coming your way:
-The 3 biggest hurdles every entrepreneur faces—and how Doug’s navigating them while scaling oil, HVAC, popcorn, and tank businesses.
-Why marketing isn’t optional—and why you run out of friends &amp; family real quick when it comes to customer base.
-What it really takes to shift from operator to true owner—and why staying in the trenches might be killing your growth.
-The brutal truth about stress, sacrifice, and those long days that don’t end when you leave the office.
-Lance’s honest take on selling his first big company and why the sale didn’t bring the joy he thought it would—but gave him something even better: a business PhD.
-A wisdom-packed reminder for every entrepreneur grinding solo: “When their mission becomes more important than your mission, the loyalty ends.”</p>
<p>This one’s not just about business. It’s about loyalty, leadership, and learning how to let go so you can finally level up. Because let’s face it—being the boss is lonely, stressful, and messy. But when you learn from guys like Doug, you realize: you're not alone, and there's a smarter way to win!</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>QUESTION FOR LISTENERS: Would you give up 20% of your business if it meant scaling 10x faster? Let us know in the comments.. Be honest—yes or no?
Most people guard success like it’s a secret.
 Joe Boyd from Elite Roofing? He’s flipping the table and handing out equity.
After nearly 20 years in the game, Joe came to the mastermind ready to shift. From insurance to retail. From chaos to clarity. And from control to true leadership.
 The result? A roofing business that's about to explode—and a team that’s about to eat.
We went rapid-fire in this episode and broke down:
-Why holding 100% of a company might be your dumbest move
-The real reason order takers can't survive in the new roofing world
-How phantom stock deals are the hidden weapon in retention
-And what makes this mastermind different from the 10X rah-rah circus</p>
<p>We’re not talking theory here.
 This is real strategy, from real people, doing real numbers.
If you’re trying to build a company that lasts—hit subscribe.
 Drop a comment with the one move you’re making next.
 Or just tell us how many people at your table are eating with you.</p>
<p>So if you’re still trying to hoard the whole pie, wondering why your team’s starving and your business is stuck this episode might sting a little… but it’ll wake you up!

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>You ever meet someone and just know they’re built different?
That’s what happened when I met Ben Pacheco from Upstanding Roofing out of Houston, Texas. Less than a year ago, this guy was running a hydraulics company. He told me, “Lance, I want to sell this thing and break into roofing.” Most people talk a big game. Ben executed.
Fast forward to today…
 He just signed an LOI. Eight figures.
 And in his first year in roofing, he’s on pace to do $6 million—all retail. In Texas, where everybody says “you can’t.”</p>
<p>In this episode, we break down:
-How he scaled from scratch using our exact playbook
-Why leadership is the make-or-break factor in growth
-The real reason most partnerships fail—and how to choose the right ones
-Why taking care of your team (and your ex) is part of winning big</p>
<p>This one’s powerful—because it’s real. No fluff, no fake gurus, just two business guys talking about what it really takes to build, scale, and sell.
If you’re tired of hype and want the truth from people actually doing it—subscribe now.
So if you're still sitting on the sidelines, making excuses, or waiting for someone to hand you permission—this episode ain’t for you.
But if you’re hungry…
 If you’re ready to sell the old story, build something real, and put your name on a win—</p>

Because this ain't motivation.

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>I’m just going to say it: if you run an HVAC, plumbing, roofing, or electrical business and still think you're just a home service company... you’ve already lost. You’re a tech company now. Period.
In this episode of Exit Rich, I sit down with my friend and business partner Sebastian Jimenez—CEO of Rilla Labs and the mind behind the tech that helped me scale one of my roofing companies to $24M and a mid-8-figure exit in under 18 months. 
No fluff. No theory. Real talk.</p>
<p>We break down:
-Why your #1 sales rep is replaceable by AI—and I proved it
-The exact moment I fired my top guy in the parking lot because he refused to use Rilla
-How my team used Rilla’s AI game film to go from 18% close rates to over 40%
-The real cost of ignoring technology—and how it’s already robbing you
-What it looks like to build $3M+ months from zero in under a year
-We also get personal—Sebastian shares how he went from doing stand-up comedy to building a VC-backed tech company that's reshaping the trades.</p>
<p> And I talk about why nothing changed in my life until I stopped trying to be liked and started demanding excellence—from myself and my team.
This isn’t a typical podcast episode. It’s an inside look at how we’re using AI to dominate markets, train teams faster than ever, and eliminate drama.</p>
<p>No gurus. No hype. Just the truth.</p>
<p>If you’ve ever:
-Wondered why your team isn’t closing more…
-Struggled to scale past $3M a year…
-Or you’re tired of the same excuses from your sales reps...
...then press play NOW!</p>
<p>And I dare you—drop a comment after. Let me know what industry you're in. After this episode, you won’t be able to hide behind “I didn’t know” anymore.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>"There's no value to people when you do it for free. But if they pay, they show up, they respect it, and they win."
In this explosive episode, I sat down with my guy Michael Stearns from Ascend Digital Agency—and we didn’t hold back! If you’re a contractor, a marketer, or just someone trying to scale your business the right way, this one’s going to hit home.
I brought Mike in because the truth is, most digital agencies out there are garbage—and he’s one of the few that actually gets it. We talked about why giving away advice for free doesn't help anyone, how charging top dollar makes clients take it seriously, and what it really takes to grow a business in this space without the BS.
You’ll hear how Mike left the safety of a big agency to build something better, why he charges $1,500 just for a consult, and why so many agencies fail once they hit scale.
What’s Inside This Episode:
Why most digital agencies are “stone cold garbage”—and how to spot a real one</p>
<p>
Why charging a high price creates more value and commitment</p>
<p>
The brutal truth about working in silos and why most agencies implode at scale</p>
<p>
The CRM trap: Salesforce horror stories, Zoho chaos, and the hunt for real solutions</p>
<p>
The ugly secret behind fake leads and padded reports—and how to inspect what you expect</p>
<p>
Why Facebook leads are mostly tail-chasing junk (and what actually converts)</p>
<p>
How Mike uses ServiceTitan, CompanyCam, and AI to give contractors an edge</p>
<p>
Why your best ability is your availability—and how that applies to marketing, leadership, and life</p>
<p>
Plus:
 The popcorn company story, the $100,000 mastermind that actually delivers, and the life lessons Mike learned from skimming his pool, coaching his kids, and quitting drinking.
This one’s packed with gold for any contractor, agency owner, or business leader who’s tired of excuses and ready to grow.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>He took one frustrated plumber from losing leads to a 20% spike in conversions—overnight!
Check it out…
If you're spending thousands on leads but still struggling to grow, you’re not alone—and you're probably bleeding money in the one place you least expect: your phone. In this jaw-dropping episode of Exit Rich, I sat down with Brigham Dickinson, founder of Power Selling Pros and the country’s top CSR trainer, to expose why your phone strategy (or lack of one) could be the most expensive problem in your business. Learn the simple, repeatable strategies that scaled Power Selling Pros to coaching over 1,400 CSRs and helping companies like Tommy Mello's generate millions more with the same leads RIGHT HERE TODAY!</p>
<p>What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
🔥 Why Your Front Desk Staff Is More Valuable Than Your Top Sales Rep
 Forget “busy work”—your CSR is your first sales touchpoint. Hear why businesses that don’t answer the phone (or do it poorly) are leaving up to 60% of their marketing dollars in the trash.
📞 The 90% Booking Rule
 Most companies are happy with a 40% call conversion rate. Brigham says: That’s unacceptable. Learn how Power Selling Pros trains CSRs to book 90% of calls, inbound or outbound.
💰 Your Million-Dollar Phone Fix
 Use Brigham’s simple formula to calculate how much just 1% more in conversion can add to your topline—and why even small improvements mean millions in revenue.
🤖 AI vs. Humans: Who Wins the CSR War?
 Hear the shocking reason why 6 companies that left for AI-based CSR support all came crawling back—and how AI fits into the future of hybrid customer service.
💪 Mindset, Wrestling, and Raising Champions
 From cold plunges to Spartan Races and raising a state-level wrestler, Brigham shares his powerful philosophy on leadership by example and how personal discipline translates into business success.
🌍 From Brazil to Boardrooms
 Brigham opens up about the life-changing experience of serving a mission in Brazil—and how learning to serve others became the foundation of a thriving business and family life.
🎟️ Plus: What makes the Roofing Conference one of the most impactful events of the year—and why Brigham says it’s a must-attend for any serious business owner.

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Ever wonder what happens when a purebred closer becomes a CEO, a coach, and a millionaire maker—all before 40? This is it...</p>
<p>If you gave him $1 and a time machine, he’d come back a billionaire. Victor Rancor’s story is a no-BS masterclass in building, breaking, and booming again.
From answering a Craigslist ad with zero HVAC knowledge… to scaling a $60M business… to losing millions throwing conferences… to transforming contractors into millionaires—Victor lays it all out in this raw, brutally honest episode.</p>
<p>WE COVER:
-Why most home service companies stay broke forever
-The $3M acquisition that almost bankrupted him—and what he learned
-How he turned a 19-year-old with no experience into a $20K/month closer
-Why conferences don’t make money (and how most gurus are lying)
-The real reason people fail to grow and exit their business
-What it’s like being misunderstood, hated, and STILL winning
-And why being a good man behind the scenes matters more than anything</p>
<p>This isn’t some guru fluff. It’s straight talk from a guy who’s built and exited real companies, partnered with private equity, and is now helping others do it faster, smarter, and stronger.</p>

<p>If you gave him $1 and a time machine, he’d come back a billionaire. Victor Rancor’s story is a no-BS masterclass in building, breaking, and booming again.<br>
From answering a Craigslist ad with zero HVAC knowledge… to scaling a $60M business… to losing millions throwing conferences… to transforming contractors into millionaires—Victor lays it all out in this raw, brutally honest episode.</p>
<p>WE COVER:<br>
-Why most home service companies stay broke forever<br>
-The $3M acquisition that almost bankrupted him—and what he learned<br>
-How he turned a 19-year-old with no experience into a $20K/month closer<br>
-Why conferences don’t make money (and how most gurus are lying)<br>
-The real reason people fail to grow and exit their business<br>
-What it’s like being misunderstood, hated, and STILL winning<br>
-And why being a good man behind the scenes matters more than anything</p>
<p>This isn’t some guru fluff. It’s straight talk from a guy who’s built and exited real companies, partnered with private equity, and is now helping others do it faster, smarter, and stronger.</p>

You’ll hear how he made his first million shorting Bear Stearns at 26, why he walked away from a cushy early “retirement,” and what he learned failing a startup after blowing $200K on a Kickstarter idea. Now, he’s setting his sights on disrupting the $100B+ home services industry with a payment platform tailor-made for techs, plumbers, HVAC crews, and more.
He also dives into:
-Why earnouts suck—and how to structure them if you have no choice
-How to avoid being fleeced by GPs and private equity players
-Why iWallet is winning in tradeshow after tradeshow (50+ per year)</p>
<p>How he’s leveraging tips, VIP memberships, and service contracts to help businesses scale recurring revenue

<li style="font-weight:400;">His gumball machine legacy—and how he’s teaching his kids entrepreneurship through passive income

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why your personal brand is more powerful than any logo or slogan

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this no-fluff, hard-hitting episode of Exit Rich, I sit down with tech entrepreneur and AI powerhouse Joel Stoli — and I’m telling you right now, this is one of the most eye-opening conversations I’ve ever had on this show. We dig deep into what it really takes to build a business someone actually wants to buy, how to stop leaving money on the table, and why AI is the biggest game-changer since electricity.</p>
<p>Joel doesn’t just talk theory — this guy’s built, scaled, and exited companies for serious money. And after two days of him working with my team? I’m saying it now: best decision I’ve made in 2025.</p>
<p>💥 You’ll hear:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why AI is today’s electricity (and how it’ll change everything faster than you think)

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">The #1 thing holding most businesses back — and it’s not what you expect

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How to avoid getting ripped off in deals by understanding incentives

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">What makes an irresistible offer in 2025 (hint: it’s all about results as a service)

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">The dark side of search funds — and how they quietly destroy founders

</li>
</ul>
<p>👉 What do you think is the biggest reason businesses fail to scale: bad offers, wrong mindset, or weak execution? Drop your thoughts below — let’s debate it.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this must-watch episode, I welcome back my good friend Josh Sparks — a man who went from a tough upbringing and working as a roofer to building a company valued at over half a billion dollars. No college degree. No Ivy League MBA. Just relentless grit, lifelong learning, and a people-first mindset.
Josh’s story isn’t just inspiring — it’s a masterclass in how to scale with integrity. Together, we are breaking down the hard truths of entrepreneurship that nobody talks about: the sleepless nights, the pressure of leadership, the brutal lessons learned from selling companies, and why so many founders get stuck. If you’re serious about scaling your business without losing your soul, this is the conversation you can’t afford to miss. Get ready to rethink what it really takes to win — and stay winning! 🔥🔥🔥🔥</p>
<p>💥 You’ll hear:
How Josh scaled from nothing to $500M+ while staying humble</p>
<p>
The real reason most businesses fail to scale (hint: it starts at the top)</p>
<p>
The dangers of earnouts and how to avoid getting burned</p>
<p>
Why private equity isn’t the villain — if you partner with the right people</p>
<p>
How to build wealth, not just a paycheck</p>
<p>
What makes or breaks culture during hyper-growth</p>
<p>
🔥 Josh also shares why he rolled 100% of his money into his own deal — and how that single decision defines his leadership style.
👉 What’s the #1 thing holding most businesses back: mindset, people, or systems? We’d love your take — drop a comment below!

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Katie Kay (Katherine Terry) didn’t just sell her company—she cried after. Why? Because the game wasn’t over. It was just beginning…</p>
<p>From selling vape companies in her 20s to running a $40M construction roll-up—Katie is not your average entrepreneur. In this fire-packed conversation, we go deep into exits, ego, execution, and what it really takes to win in business as a woman in a man’s world.
If you're building a company to last—or to sell—you can't afford to miss what Katie Kay’s drops in this episode. Whether you're in home services, private equity, or just getting your first company off the ground… this one hits different.</p>
<p>What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
🔥 Why “Build It to Sell It” is more than a business model—it’s a survival strategy
 🔥 The emotional toll of exits—and why most entrepreneurs aren’t ready for the crash
 🔥 The truth about being a woman in private equity and home services (Katie puts the “boys club” on notice)
 🔥 What really ruins your chance of selling to PE firms (and how to fix it)
 🔥 Why most home service companies get stuck between $1–3M—and how to break the ceiling
 🔥 How search funds are “legal scams” and why you should never sell to one
 🔥 The one KPI every entrepreneur should check daily—and why ignoring it is costing you
 🔥 Why coaching is broken—and what makes a real business coach worth following
 🔥 How to scale without building a prison you hate
 🔥 And the wild behind-the-scenes of working with JT Foxx</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>“If you're not booking the lead, it's not the lead’s fault. It’s yours.”
Why wait months for SEO or PPC to work when leads could be flowing into your pipeline tomorrow? In this no-BS episode, I sat down with Brian Cooper, President of Networx, the lead aggregator that’s helped 15,000+ contractors scale with speed. From roofing to concrete, they don’t just generate leads—they teach you how to close them. He’s been called instant coffee on a Monday morning—and for good reason. Brian shares the truth behind why some contractors win big while others blame the system, the power of speed-to-lead, and how Networx survived wartime in Israel without slowing down. If you’re in home services and you’re not printing money with lead aggregators—this episode will change your mindset AND your bank account!</p>
<p>What You’ll Learn:
Why most digital agencies fail home service businesses—and how Networx fills that gap</p>
<p>
The brutal truth about why contractors think aggregators "don’t work"</p>
<p>
How to master "speed to lead" and stop flushing money down the drain</p>
<p>
Why following up 5+ times could be the difference between a dead lead and a $100K job</p>
<p>
How Networx built tech teams in Israel—and kept them going through war and tragedy</p>
<p>
Why empathy in leadership matters just as much as execution</p>
<p>
The future of AI voice and SMS tools for contractors (and why you're behind if you’re not using them)</p>
<p>
What private equity sees in home services—and why you should pay attention</p>
<p>
Why 20–25% net profit should be the standard, not the exception, for contractors
If you’re tired of waiting for leads to trickle in, or you're a contractor looking to scale fast, this episode is your blueprint. Subscribe now, leave a comment, and don’t forget—winners don’t wait. They optimize.</p>

        <itunes:summary><![CDATA[“If you're not booking the lead, it's not the lead’s fault. It’s yours.”Why wait months for SEO or PPC to work when leads could be flowing into your pipeline tomorrow? In this no-BS episode, I sat down with Brian Cooper, President of Networx, the lead aggregator that’s helped 15,000+ contractors scale with speed. From roofing to concrete, they don’t just generate leads—they teach you how to close them. He’s been called instant coffee on a Monday morning—and for good reason. Brian shares the truth behind why some contractors win big while others blame the system, the power of speed-to-lead, and how Networx survived wartime in Israel without slowing down. If you’re in home services and you’re not printing money with lead aggregators—this episode will change your mindset AND your bank account!

<p>Meet Jonathan Duquette, the Montreal-born founder of Go Nano, the fastest-growing name in roofing innovation. In this raw, no-BS episode, Jonathan breaks down how Go Nano went from a one-man door-knocking mission to a 270-dealer nanotech powerhouse that's disrupting the $50B roofing industry.</p>
<p>You’ll learn how he bootstrapped with family “love money,” hit $80K in sales in two months going door to door, and reinvested over $750K into real science and R&amp;D—building the most data-backed roof rejuvenation product on the market.</p>
<p>What we cover:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How Go Nano turns old roofs into better-than-new with nanotechnology

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why they’re called the "silent sniper" of the roofing world

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">The brutal truth about today’s roofing shingles—and how Jonathan plans to replace them entirely

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Inside the Go Nano dealer model: who it’s for, how much it costs, and why it works

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why most roofers get stuck—and what separates the winners from the whiners

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How to start a roofing business from scratch with zero cash (yes, really)

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">The genius move that locks in repeat business for decades

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why recurring revenue in roofing is the future—and how Go Nano is paving the way

</li>
</ul>
<p>If this is your first episode, buckle up—because this is the kind of game-changing conversation we have every single week, twice a week!</p>

<p>Meet Jonathan Duquette, the Montreal-born founder of Go Nano, the fastest-growing name in roofing innovation. In this raw, no-BS episode, Jonathan breaks down how Go Nano went from a one-man door-knocking mission to a 270-dealer nanotech powerhouse that's disrupting the $50B roofing industry.</p>
<p>You’ll learn how he bootstrapped with family “love money,” hit $80K in sales in two months going door to door, and reinvested over $750K into real science and R&amp;D—building the most data-backed roof rejuvenation product on the market.</p>
<p>What we cover:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How Go Nano turns old roofs into better-than-new with nanotechnology<br>
<br>
</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why they’re called the "silent sniper" of the roofing world<br>
<br>

<li style="font-weight:400;">The brutal truth about today’s roofing shingles—and how Jonathan plans to replace them entirely<br>
<br>
</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Inside the Go Nano dealer model: who it’s for, how much it costs, and why it works<br>
<br>
</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why most roofers get stuck—and what separates the winners from the whiners<br>
<br>
</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How to start a roofing business from scratch with zero cash (yes, really)<br>
<br>
</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">The genius move that locks in repeat business for decades<br>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Most roofing crews are one rainy week away from folding—but not this one! They went from paycheck to paycheck to booked months out, all by ditching the chaos and running their crew like a real business. This isn’t just another underdog story—it’s a wake-up call for every contractor stuck in survival mode. If you’re tired of hustling without stacking, tune in. The game is about to change! In this episode, Kevin Jablon CEO and Founder of Spartan Surfaces and I break down the real-life transformation of a contractor who turned local hustle into serious profit. From bad hires and burnout to systematized success, this is the raw blueprint for scaling a home service business that prints money. </p>

<p>In his first-ever mastermind, Cole opens up about what it really takes to build from zero, why mindset trumps marketing, and how showing up in the right rooms can 10x your entire life.</p>

<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How Cole hit $1M in sales in his very first year—with just him and one other guy

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why investing in mindset and masterminds is a game-changer for home service entrepreneurs

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">The hidden cost of delaying systems and processes—and why the time to implement is now

<li style="font-weight:400;">How to retain your most loyal team members—and why giving up equity might be the smartest move

</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Scaling tips for owners with no W2 employees yet—from foundation to full crew

This isn’t just boat cleaning — it’s a masterclass in how to dominate a niche, scale with tech, and turn his “weird” business into billion dollar barnacles!

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>What happens when a microbiologist, ex-aquarium cleaner, and former pizza shop owner jumps headfirst into chimney repair?
You get Joe Ochal AKA: Joe the Mad Chimney Scientist — a Philly-based powerhouse who turned his failures into fire, building a $5 million chimney empire with 17 trucks on the road. In this episode, Joe drops the blueprint on scaling niche service businesses, escaping the truck, and finally becoming the boss.
This is gritty. This is raw. This is what real entrepreneurship looks like.
If you’ve ever doubted whether the long road of failure can lead to freedom — this episode will change your mind!</p>
<p>🔥 What Makes This Episode Must-Watch For YOU:
-From hustling aquariums to owning the chimney game — how Joe pivoted through failure and found gold in brick and mortar (literally).
-Built a $5M service business by mastering a trade most people didn’t even know they needed.
-Got out of the truck just 2 weeks ago — and he’s already unlocked more growth than the last 2 years
-Historic restoration expert — repairing 1700s walk-in fireplaces and monuments with NASA-grade knowledge.
-Failed pizza shop, tanked service biz, moved in with his parents — and still bounced back harder.
-Now managing a full sales team while learning how to lead, delegate, and build systems that scale.
-Heartfelt leadership lessons — on being a present father, empowering teams, and letting go of control.
-Real talk on why most entrepreneurs NEVER escape the daily grind — and how Joe broke the cycle.
-The truth about social media, shiny metrics, and focusing on real business over likes.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Everyone talks about wanting to get rich — but no one talks about what it really costs.
Today, I'm giving you an inside look at what it takes to build, scale, and SELL a roofing and home service business for millions. No fluff, no filters — just the hard, brutal truth.
I'm sitting down with Jim Rhubart, who went from swinging hammers to holding million-dollar checks — and we’re breaking down exactly how it happened, what almost bombed the deal, and what it really takes to win at this level. Join us as we go through the twist and turns of what it takes to see this level of personal success. The brutal late nights, the deals we almost lost, the fights, the near-walkouts, the wins... and how we STILL came out on top. 💰
You won't just hear the success... you'll FEEL it.</p>
<p>🔥 You Won’t Want To Miss:</p>
<p>From grinding it out with a tool belt to sitting at the table as a multi-millionaire
From almost walking away... to closing one of the biggest deals of our careers
From handshake trust to changing our families' futures forever
This is not some polished “success story” — this is the REAL blood, sweat, and sacrifice it takes to win in the roofing and home service game.</p>

<p>Today, I'm sitting down with Mike Shelly Jr., and 18 months ago he was living a completely different life, Mike wasn’t even in the roofing business! Fresh out of college, stuck with a finance degree, drowning in student loans, and ZERO clue that his life was about to explode into a completely different stratosphere. Would he just follow the "safe" corporate path like others told him to? The answer is No!</p>
<p>Fast forward to NOW... This Friday, Mike is officially becoming a MULTI-MILLIONAIRE! 💥
How did it happen? Stay tuned to find out..</p>
<p>We dig DEEP into:
-Why college degrees aren't always the ticket to success anymore 🚫🎓
-The reality of building a company (spoiler: it’s NOT all sunshine and rainbows) 🌪
-The truth about stress, fights, and hard conversations behind the scenes 🥊
-How loyalty, culture, and grit can change a family's legacy forever 💎
-What it's REALLY like to partner with me — the good, the bad, and the brutal honesty 🔥
-Why home services sales is one of the last TRUE goldmines left (and how much money you can actually make 💰)</p>
<p>Mike opens up about life-changing moments, overcoming adversity after losing his brother, and what it feels like to finally have financial freedom he never thought possible. This episode isn't just about money — it’s about redemption, perseverance, family, and making the impossible possible.</p>
<p>👉 If you think you’re stuck... If you’re wondering if the risk is worth it... If you want to know what it REALLY takes to build wealth... THIS episode is your wake-up call.</p>
<p>Hit play NOW — because this story might just change the way you look at your entire life and don’t forget to leave a comment after and share your thoughts and what you’d like to see in future podcast episodes.</p>

I had never met Heather Hitchcock in person before this interview. I just kept seeing her pop up on my feed—boss energy, next-level branding, unstoppable faith, and a growing business that stood out in a MALE-dominated industry.</p>
<p>So what did I do?</p>
<p>I watched her for over a year before making contact. And when I finally did, I knew one thing: 
People NEED to hear this woman’s story! 🤯</p>
<p>In this episode, we talk about:</p>
<p>-Her raw and powerful journey from a jail to building a thriving company
-How faith—not religion—was the turning point of her life
-The reality of being a woman in roofing and how she handles it like a total BOSS babe!
-Why she almost quit everything this month—and how she bounced back harder
-The exact reason I believe the roofing industry needs a cultural reset—and how people like Heather are leading the charge!</p>
<p>Whether you’re in roofing, construction, or just trying to scale your business with real leadership, this conversation is a must-listen.</p>
<p>💥LIKE WHAT YOU’RE HEARING?💥

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Today, I sat down with my good friend and business partner, Michael Shelly, for a brutally honest, no-fluff conversation about what it really takes to scale, sell, and cash out big.
Mike shares how he went from feeling stuck and the emotional struggles he battled wanting more for his family — thinking the window had closed — to waking up a millionaire! We get raw about the grind behind the scenes, the moments where it felt hopeless, and how real leadership isn’t about "handouts" — it’s about accountability.
But let me be clear: this didn’t happen because I waved a magic wand. Check out to find out what REALLY happened and how this could happen to YOU too. 
💥 I talk about firing top performers who didn’t want to evolve,
 💥 How we built a company that grew to $25M in our first year,
 💥 Why ServiceTitan was non-negotiable for scaling like maniacs,
 💥 And the emotional moment when the noose of financial pressure was finally ripped off Mike’s neck.
If you’ve ever doubted whether entrepreneurship can change your life forever... you need to hear this story.
👉 We don't sell fairytales. We show you how it's really done.</p>

        <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Today, I sat down with my good friend and business partner, Michael Shelly, for a brutally honest, no-fluff conversation about what it really takes to scale, sell, and cash out big.Mike shares how he went from feeling stuck and the emotional struggles he battled wanting more for his family — thinking the window had closed — to waking up a millionaire! We get raw about the grind behind the scenes, the moments where it felt hopeless, and how real leadership isn’t about "handouts" — it’s about accountability.But let me be clear: this didn’t happen because I waved a magic wand. Check out to find out what REALLY happened and how this could happen to YOU too. 💥 I talk about firing top performers who didn’t want to evolve, 💥 How we built a company that grew to $25M in our first year, 💥 Why ServiceTitan was non-negotiable for scaling like maniacs, 💥 And the emotional moment when the noose of financial pressure was finally ripped off Mike’s neck.If you’ve ever doubted whether entrepreneurship can change your life forever... you need to hear this story.👉 We don't sell fairytales. We show you how it's really done.
