The Mark Kellogg Effect will continue for at least one more game in this inaugural season. Eighth-seeded West Virginia defeated ninth-seeded Princeton by 10 points in the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament Round of 64 Saturday evening. That same day, the WVU baseball team swept a doubleheader on the road against No. 17 Oklahoma (after being no-hit less than 24 hours prior). On episode No. 91 of The Gold and Blue Nation Podcast, presented by Elite Roofing and Construction, hosts Ryan Decker and Kevin Redfern recap Kellogg's crew's win over Princeton, look ahead to Monday's matchup with top-seeded Iowa and Caitlin Clark, and react to a wild weekend series for Mazey's Crazies. 

Led by first-year head coach Mark Kellogg, the Mountaineers are heading back to the NCAA Tournament.

On episode No. 90 of The Gold and Blue Nation Podcast, presented by Elite Roofing and Construction, hosts Ryan Decker and Kevin Redfern preview West Virginia's first round game against Princeton, and a possible meeting with Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes in the second round. 

Every WVU fan, from the diehards to the casuals, know about the two biggest storylines heading into the 2024 WVU baseball season: it's skipper Randy Mazey's final year at the helm, and his club will feature arguably the top infielder in college baseball. But there are plenty of other student-athletes who will shape the upcoming season for the reigning Big 12 co-champs, including a long list of transfers, a revamped pitching rotation and new faces in the outfield. In this edition of The Gold and Blue Nation Podcast, presented by Elite Roofing and Construction, hosts Ryan Decker and Kevin Redfern dive into each of those subjects, as they preview this highly anticipate season of Mountaineer baseball.

WVU women's basketball has impressed during its first season under head coach Mark Kellogg. The Mountaineers play exceptional defense, leading the nation in multiple key stats and making Division I history by blanking back-to-back opponents in the first quarter. In episode No. 86 of The Gold and Blue Nation Podcast, presented by Elite Roofing and Construction, hosts Nick Farrell and Kevin Redfern discuss the ceiling for this team as Big 12 Conference play heats up. 

As the head coach of the Roofing Academy, founder of Elite Roofing, author of Start It, Build It, Grow It: The Contractor's Guide to Success and the host of the Start, Build, Grow Podcast, Randy Brothers has spent 15 years building his own businesses and educating others to reach their potential. Randy has grown his own company by over 12x in eight years. Going back to the inaugural episode of the Mobile Workforce Podcast, Randy shares the importance of delegation in the growth and success of a contractor's business. He also shares the processes and mindset that delegation requires to be profitable on the job site.  Key Takeaways: Investing in your people adds value to your company. Investing in employees will only increase the value of your business. When you invest in someone, that person will immediately feel essential and engaged, and their loyalty and productivity will increase. As a business owner, you need to give in order to get.  As entrepreneurs and business owners, contractors have a unique opportunity to positively impact and develop their team members. The best leaders don't hinder growth by only thinking about what they'll get in return. When construction leaders support their people growing as individuals and expanding their skill sets, the ROI comes back many times over in the long run.  Success is not a one-person show. Sustainable revenue is only achieved when the entire team buys into the vision of the organization. A one-person show is not sustainable, and the business's growth ceiling is low. But together you can go far.

Contractor’s Guide to Success Start It, Build It, Grow It with Randy Brothers, the CEO of CJ and Elite Roofing as well as head coach of The Roofing Academy. He’s a third-generation contractor and business owner with over 15 years of contracting experience. His company has grown 10 times in 6 years, or 10X, A 30% growth rate over the past 5 years, even when the local roofing market softened during that time frame. Elite Roofing now provides for the families of over 40 people that are employed in his firm A natural born entrepreneur. Even as a little kid, I did various entrepreneurial endeavors from, you know, buying popsicles and Blow Pops in bulk, selling them to my friends on the school bus, to landscaping, doing lawn mowing, to a window cleaning company I started in college. I mowed lawns to buy my first PlayStation. And then all the friends came over and played my PlayStation for two years. And then I ended up hiring them and having them help me mow lawns I worked three jobs in college. I worked full-time and went to school full-time. I actually started…early on, as soon as I kinda knew I wanted to do business, I correlated, you know, my kinda natural ability to build things, and, you know, third generation contractor. I grew up kinda watching my grandpa and my dad, everything they wanted to fix or do around the house, they did it themselves. They built it themselves. I basically went in blindly to this construction company and sat there for three hours with no experience, just trying to convince this owner of this company to hire me. And I basically offered my services for free just because I wanted to learn how to build a house. I started my company right out of my basement, in the house that I had purchased from my previous boss, set up a little office down there, and used the garage for all the tools, and we just started doing basement finish. Three months after I graduated college. I just went all in. I just went in and never really looked back. You had this success, you had a house, you’re a young guy just out of college, and marketing and remodeling basements. Bob: And then, things started to unwind. Take us to, basically, that process, when it started to unwind. I bought a boat. I had a house at age 23. I had two trucks at the time. And I was living on cloud nine. I was all about myself and, you know, chasing girls, and doing whatever I can to just live it up and live the dream. But all the while, I wasn’t able to, one, pay attention to the market, which was gradually starting to turn and things were starting to change in overall construction, and real estate, and mortgage markets. The whole bottom fell out and I was kinda caught holding the bag. I had a couple projects I had already started and working on, and I just was scrounging just to get through those. I was able to make it through there, but ultimately, I ended up losing everything. This was a really, really low point in my life.
