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!
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!
