In this episode of Above the Roof, Brian and Brandi take you through the gritty, chaotic, and often unexpected journey of building Colorado Family Roofing from the ground up. Brian shares his early days as a lawn care entrepreneur (including some questionable time-management strategies), his move into corporate marketing, and the pivotal moment that led him to risk it all in the roofing industry.

You'll hear:
The struggles of starting a business (with zero savings and a $500 credit card)
How a $1.89 soda exposed a bad business partnership
The brutal reality of entrepreneurship—storm chasing, nearly going broke, and tough decisions
The moment everything changed—from writing a book in a hotel room to a massive windstorm that saved the business
How innovation is shaping the future—RoofMaxx, solar shingles, and keeping the business strong beyond storm season

It’s a raw, real, and brutally honest look at what it actually takes to build a successful business. If you've ever wondered what happens behind the scenes of entrepreneurship (or if you just enjoy a good "almost lost it all" story), this one’s for you.

🚀 Tune in and get ready to go Above the Roof!
