    Inside the Mind of the Most Controversial Man in Insurance | Kirt Linington & Steve Badger

    Steve Badger is the most polarizing man in the roofing industry. Insurance defense attorney. LinkedIn provocateur. The guy contractors love to hate, until they actually meet him. In this episode, Kirt Linington sits down with Steve Badger to get past the persona and talk real: Texas roofing licensing, preferred contractor networks, the $1.2 billion 9/11 settlement, and what the future of insurance roofing actually looks like. If you're a roofing contractor in Texas, this conversation will change how you see the game.

    The Leadership Philosophy Behind a 9-Figure Roofing Empire | Kirt Linington & Tony Taveras

    Tony Taveras and Kirt Linington go all the way back to their days at LA Fitness — long before either of them ever touched a roofing company. In this episode, they break down the full origin story of Linear Roofing, from humble beginnings to building a 9-figure roofing empire. The grind no one saw, the leadership lessons learned the hard way, and the mentality it took to build something truly great. If you're in the trades or building something from scratch, this one is for you.
