🎙️ Garage Door Heroes Podcast – Episode: From Struggle to Scale with Nathan Woodard

In this episode, Robb Leishman sits down with Nathan Woodard—owner of Pro Garage Doors in Northern California—for a raw, inspiring look at what it takes to build and rebuild in the garage door industry.

Nathan opens up about how he got started in the trade, from college summers working with his uncle to launching and selling his first business in Colorado, and eventually founding Pro Garage Doors in a completely new market. He shares the story of how brain surgery led to a new approach in business—one focused on systems, scale, and sustainability.

We dive into what it’s like to start over in a town where no one knows your name, how to gain traction without referrals, and the importance of Google presence, community involvement, and online marketing.

Nathan and Robb also discuss:

  • The painful reality of laying off team members during slow seasons

  • How Pro Garage Doors went from three down months to record-breaking sales

  • What it takes to turn a $49 tune-up into a multi-thousand-dollar service ticket—ethically

  • The role of weekly training, lead generation, and ongoing optimization

  • The marketing strategies (like Nextdoor and GBP) that helped fuel growth

  • How their partnership turned into friendship—and why that matters in business

Plus, Nathan shares how he took his company from 1% profit in 2023 to a projected 12–13% net net in 2025—all while growing revenue by 75% year over year.

If you're a garage door business owner—or any home service entrepreneur—this episode is packed with real talk, practical tips, and the kind of honest insights you don’t hear every day.

Don’t miss it.
