Brandon shares the mindset shift from small plays to bigger bets, why he assumes success (and plans for failure), and how social media distribution can attract capital, deal flow, and talent.You'll hear the real numbers on union commercial roofing (margins, ticket sizes, pay cycles), how to decide between lots of small jobs vs. fewer big ones, and why “every business either sells or shuts down.” We also dig into storm-driven market entry, travel crews, and what it actually takes to scale estimation capacity and cash flow when receivables hit seven figures.

In this episode of The Start Build Grow Show, I sit down with John Senac, roofing coach, trainer, and co-founder of Name That Shingle, a company dedicated to helping contractors properly identify and report asphalt products. John's journey from being a $3M-a-year producer to becoming one of the industry's leading trainers has given unique insight into the shifts shaping the roofing business today.   We dive into the challenges roofing contractors face as insurance carriers change their processes, raise deductibles, and limit claim approvals- forcing companies to rethink how they operate. John shares why the industry is moving away from storm restoration dependency and why retail roofing, systems, and intentional growth strategies are becoming essential for the future.   John breaks down why building the right processes is critical, how contractors can future-proof their businesses through retail-focused models, and the importance of mastering product identification to properly manage claim scopes. He also shares leadership lessons on humility, time management, and opportunity cost that every business owner needs to hear.   If you're a roofing contractor or home service business owner looking to adapt to industry changes, build sustainable systems, and create long-term success, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable strategies you can start applying today.

Cockatoos Wreak Havoc: Avian Vandals Attack Roofing Bolts Jeremy Zakis The discussion focuses on the intense destructive power of cockatoos in New South Wales, described as "gang members" who work in packs. Jeremy Zakis reports that eight to ten cockatoos had been actively targeting his neighbor's steel roof, successfully wrenching out two-inch-long galvanized steel roofing bolts. Jeremy notes the creatures are incredibly strong, with beaks capable of damaging the steel. In a particularly surprising act of "villainy," one cockatoo flew a removed bolt across the property line and dropped it onto Jeremy's driveway. The hosts speculate that this act could be a deliberate warning that Jeremy's house is next. These birds are clearly the disruptive outliers in the local happy bird world. DARWIN'S  FUNERAL

Fall Breaks, Fake Stimulus Checks & Football Shocker Week!   This week, the guys are back in the studio after a “camping” trip (well, one of them slept in his truck). They catch up on fall break chaos, celebrate their show's climb to the top of the charts, and talk about some big updates from their friends at True Texas Solar & Roofing — including new Tesla roof tech and what's changing in the world of home insurance.   Then it's on to football madness: Texas pulls off a surprise win, A&M looks strong, and Oklahoma State sets an unforgettable (and bizarre) record. The conversation heats up around coaching changes, rivalry traditions (yes, tortillas get thrown), and even whether Nick Saban could actually head to OSU.   To top it all off, the hosts tackle viral rumors about a new October stimulus check — breaking down what's real, what's not, and how to avoid the scams making the rounds online.   It's a wild mix of home talk, football breakdowns, and headline myth-busting — with plenty of laughs and good conversation along the way.   #PodcastLife #HomeAndGarden #CollegeFootball #StimulusCheckRumors #HomeownersChat #TrueTexasTalk   True Texas Solar – 936-286-8325 – Give True Texas Solar a call if you would like to learn how your home or business would benefit from solar.
