    How to Build a Brand People Can’t Ignore

    Send a text What happens when the Best Damn Roofer returns to the show with no script, no agenda, and no filters? Josh Bigger is back — and this conversation goes everywhere. From building a massive following in the roofing industry using outrageous content… to turning that attention into real businesses, marketing agencies, and brand partnerships — Josh breaks down the strategy behind the chaos. But beneath the persona is a deeper story: fatherhood, business pivots, starting over after a divorce, standing up for personal beliefs, and the reality of building a brand that millions of people watch. In this episode Eric and Josh talk about: - How controversial content can explode your brand - The marketing strategy behind viral roofing videos - Turning social media attention into real business revenue - The difference between the online persona and the real person - Why roofing companies need better education and training - The future of roofing brands, marketing, and influence - Building businesses that support your family — not destroy it This episode is raw, funny, uncomfortable at times, and completely authentic. Exactly how we like it.

    How to Stop Negotiating With Yourself and Just Show Up

    Send a text You do not need a perfect plan. You need to stop bullsh*tting yourself. Trevor Baxter, owner of CrossFit Elkhorn, sits down with Eric to talk about what actually gets people healthy again. Not hype. Not hacks. Just the truth. Starting is the hardest part, and most people never start because they keep hiding behind “I don’t have time.” They get into why community matters, why coaching matters, and why some gyms feel like a family while others kick you out the second class ends. Trevor also opens up about losing his mom to ALS, the workout they do every year in her honor, and why showing up is the whole point even when life is heavy. If you want results, stop trying to do it alone. Find people who will hold you to what you said you wanted.

    Calm in the Chaos with Adam Patterson

    Send a text This episode wasn’t recorded in a studio, it was recorded in the mountains of the Philippines after a sketchy journey, no sleep, and zero room for panic. Eric sits down with Adam Patterson from SMA Support Services during a live, in-person crossover with F&S Words to talk about stress. Not the motivational poster kind, but the kind that leaks into your team, poisons culture, and quietly wrecks performance. They break down why stress is contagious, how leaders unknowingly spread it, and why calm, stoic leadership is the real competitive advantage. If you lead people and think your stress doesn’t affect them. This episode will prove you wrong.

    Sushi in the Middle of Nowhere with Tony Gentile

    Send a text Tony Gentile went from a Houston Gulf Coast kid who loved cooking and fishing to the chef behind Blue Sushi and Flagship Restaurant Group’s 48‑restaurant machine. He and I break down how he engineered stupid‑level consistency across the country, why prime cost and supply chain are life or death, and how systems can either free your team or choke the soul out of your business. We get into culture, vulnerability, owning your screw‑ups, the Tony Gentile System for Success, and how marriage and kids forced him to stop working himself into the ground and start leading like a grown man. If you’re trying to scale anything — not just restaurants — this is the kind of truth you can’t un-hear.

    Stop Holding Your Business Back

    Send a text This episode is a gut-punch for every contractor who swears they’re “too busy” but still burns half their week on b******t tasks that should’ve been offloaded years ago. Chris Diroll breaks down how he sold $4M in roofs without paid ads, why Facebook/Nextdoor groups are a goldmine, and how owners sabotage their own businesses by making sales reps do everything except sell. We dig into efficiency, leadership, VA leverage, five-star review systems, and the ugly truth about why most roofers stay small. Real talk, real systems, and the kind of perspective that makes you uncomfortable in all the right ways.

    When Failure Became the Fuel with Chuck Thokey

    Send a text Chuck Thokey’s story doesn’t start in success — it starts in a freezer at $10 an hour, lying just to get the job. He went from “learning disabled” classes to aerospace engineering, lost everything after 9/11, and rebuilt his life one sale at a time. This episode isn’t about scripts or systems — it’s about hunger, humility, and the kind of pain that makes you dangerous.
