In Episode 35 of The Roof Trollz Podcast, the crew chops it up with the one and only Ken Dawgs, also known as Ken Koval, a former million-dollar roofing sales who walked away from sales to sling serious heat on a bun.
Elijah Muhm, Angelo Saia, and Mike Cortes take a walk down memory lane with Ken, from chasing leads to chasing tamales. This episode is packed with fire pit stories, Portillo’s hats, kitchen hustle, and real talk about what it means to bet on yourself.
Ken breaks down how he built Ken Dawgs from the ground up, why no one’s ever mad holding a hot dog, and how he’s feeding the block at everything from fantasy drafts to concerts to dispensary openings. It’s part reunion, part roast, part blueprint for doing life your way.
Key Highlights:
◆ From million-dollar sales to mustard and chili
◆ How the Ken Dawg got its name (and what’s in it)
◆ Old school team stories, golf carts, fire pits, Topo-Chico
◆ Selling roofs one year, vending at cannabis grand openings the next
◆ Loyalty, leadership, and why Ken wrote Angelo a thank-you card
◆ Feeding both cops and stoners, how that works
◆ The truth about what keeps good crews together
◆ Why giving back hits different when it’s personal
If you’ve ever thought about switching gears or chasing something that just feels right, this episode is your sign.
