Debbie is joined by the unstoppable Greta Bajrami, co-founder, CEO, and the powerhouse behind Golden Group Roofing. From her roots as an Albanian immigrant and teen mom to building a thriving construction empire with her husband Freddy, Greta’s story is nothing short of inspiring. They dive into the wild ride of entrepreneurship… the wins, the wipeouts, and everything in between. Along the way, Greta shares how integrity, grit, and community helped her rise, even through recent personal health battles. Plus, she spills the tea on her latest ventures: the Rootless app, her buzzing marketing agency, and an exciting new podcast she’s launching with her daughter. This episode is all about resilience, reinvention, and keeping it real.
