Jack sits down with roofing industry leader Josey Parks, the new force behind the Win The Storm conference. From humble beginnings knocking on doors at 18, Josey built a thriving career through innovation in specialty roofing and technology. After years of success in metal and tile roofing, he pivoted to developing AI-driven solutions with his company, Think Unlimited—matching the right reps to appointments and boosting contractor growth through deep learning.
Despite a quiet social media presence, Josey’s impact is loud and clear. When he saw Win The Storm—a foundational industry event—on the brink of collapse, he stepped in, driven not by profit but by purpose. “I want to be the force,” he said, determined to preserve and evolve a gathering that shaped his own career. The 2023 event ran at a $500,000+ loss, but Josey’s focus is on legacy, not bottom lines.
Now based in Fort Worth with his wife and four sons, Josey’s mission is about community and growth. He’s expanding Win The Storm to include hands-on training, vendor connection opportunities, and breakout sessions tailored for every level—from door knockers to CEOs. Under his leadership, 164 companies committed to community service last year, with a goal of 500 in 2024.
This year’s theme, Steady in the Storm, reflects both industry resilience and personal development. By building real relationships and refusing to let ego or the past cloud the future, Josey’s creating a movement grounded in integrity, collaboration, and impact.
If you’re in the storm restoration space, this is your call to action: get involved, bring your team, and be part of something bigger than business. As Josey says, “Thoughts lead to action. Action leads to results.”

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
