They went from rock bottom to $ Millions—and they did it by building a roofing company with purpose.

In this episode of The Roofing Operating System Podcast, host Nick Peret (Founder of Better Boss) sits down with Brian Ford and Alec Martin, co-founders of I AM Roofing—one of the fastest-growing, veteran-owned roofing companies in the country.
