In this episode, Mike Stearns sits down with Andy Keys, Owner and CEO of FoxHaven Roofing Group for a raw conversation about what it truly takes to build an empire. Andy shares his incredible journey from battling addiction and living in his car to running massive roofing and metal supply companies.
They dive into the exact strategies fueling his growth—from why hiding your prices online is costing you leads, to the absolute necessity of shooting video content even when it's uncomfortable. They also break down the future of SEO with AI search, the importance of tracking true ROAS based on gross profit, and how to transition from chasing short-term leads to playing the long game.
