    Discussing Life, Entrepreneurship & The Thing Events w/Terry Weaver

    Today is a first for the Builders of Authority Podcast. 


    We are originally recording this episode as a "live" recording on social media via Streamyard, and then will produce the podcast version of it as well at a later date. 


    I’m joined by someone that I’ve been connected to for awhile, but just recently had a chance to meet over Zoom a few months ago. 


    Last week I was on his podcast. 


    I’ll be speaking at his events in both Nashville & Orlando this year. 


    Nashville is coming up in June, and Orlando is in November. 


    To promote the event, I wanted to have him and chat more about the event itself and hopefully have some of you come to it. 


    We cater to the same crowd of people, and help them grow their businesses and become more well known. 


    I’m excited to learn more about today’s guest, his story, and his events coming up this year. 


    My guest today is Terry Weaver. He is a Husband, Speaker, Author, Dreamer, Doer, Podcaster, Coach & Mentor.

    Terry’s Bio:


    I’m Terry Weaver — business coach and idea strategist who specializes in helping remarkable leaders navigate the galaxy of entrepreneurship. My biggest goal is to help YOU discover what you really want and help discover the map to head in the direction and arrive at the destination. You desire. 


    It’s the age old Spice Girls question I ask all my clients:


    “Tell me what you want, what you really really want.”


    Almost immediately after high school I became a full time speaker speaking to students in middle school, high school, and colleges. During that time I accidentally found myself in the music business helping artists navigate moving their dreams from their garage to selling out shows and topping the charts. Standing on stage in a packed arena things began to shift for me.

    Zero to Hero: Noe Madrigal Bought a Roofing Company w/ No Experience & Grew it to Multiple 7-Figures

    Today’s episode will be great. 

    I originally got connected with him over 2 years ago. 

    He was a client of Hite’s for a bit. 

    Since then, I’ve been watching him grow his company and venturing into new things. 

    He’s now a part of some of the same groups I’m in, and is also in our BOA community as well. 

    We finally met in person this past year at RoofCON, and I love his commitment to self development and willingness to go to events just like that, to keep getting better. 

    My guest today is Noe Madrigal. He is the President at A&A Roofing in Kennewick, WA and Host of The Unclouded Podcast. 

    Noe’s Bio: 

    Noe Madrigal began his stewardship of A&A Roofing Services in 2021, bringing with him a fresh vision for a company that had been serving the Tri-Cities area since 2017. More than just roofing, Noe saw an opportunity to build lasting bonds with clients.
    His belief in the power of relationships transformed the business, leading to its expansion across Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Under his leadership, A&A became synonymous with trust, quality, and the spirit captured in #SavedByRelationships.

    Today, it’s not just about roofs, it’s a commitment to excellence, and the enduring relationships that Noe nurtures every day.

    From Backyard Business to Brick & Mortar w/David Marks of Quality Auto Repair Tire & Auto Sales

    From Backyard Business to Brick & Mortar w/David Marks of Quality Auto Repair Tire & Auto Sales

    Today we have another in person episode for you. 

    This is someone I’m really excited about interviewing today. 

    We have been connected for almost 4 years now, going back to the pandemic. 

    When I was trying to go from side hustle to full-time entrepreneur, he was one of the local business owners I connected with on Facebook and interviewed to help promote local businesses when everything shut down.

    Since then, we have been supporting each other along the way. 

    He has attended both of my events I’ve thrown, both back in 2021 and just last week. 

    He’s currently a 1-1 personal branding client of mine with BOA, and is an absolute pleasure to work with. 

    There’s no way that knows more about networking to grow your business and he’s the best in the auto repair business. 

    My guest today is David Marks. He is the Owner of Quality Auto Repair Tire & Auto Sales here in St. Louis, located close by in Maryland Heights. 

    David’s Bio:

    My entrepreneurial story starts, Sep 2008 I bought a "Garage With A House In The Front Yard". In Dec 2009 I started working part-time (evenings/weekends) within year a and half (May 2011) What started with ZERO customers I turned into a full time business! 2013, I added Used Auto Sales, to my portfolio. I found people liked acquiring used vehicles from a Trusted Automotive Technician. 2016, I got involved with SCORE & Small Business Development Center, to learn how to be a business owner. (ANYONE CAN BE A BACKYARD MECHANIC, NOT EVERYONE CAN BE A BUSINESS OWNER). 2018, I added Used Car Detective, I found a need that consumers wanted to have Potential Used Vehicles inspected prior to being purchased. March 2019 I expanded my businesses to Maryland Heights with a 3 Bay Repair Facility, Full Service. This expansion will allow me to expand on my other 2 business Quality Auto Sales & Used Car Detective. The primary business will be Quality Auto Repair And Tire. To streamline my expansion, I formed a Management Company DSM Auto Family, LLC to oversee the day-day operations and still allow each of its 3 Business the ability to operate independently 

    My business have evolved based on the principle of "People Won't Work For You And/Or Do Business With You If They Don't Feel Appreciated" We do that by providing "Trusted Services”

    How Chugging Beers During The Pandemic Grew into the Movement “The End Is Near, So Let’s Drink Beer”

    Today we have another in person episode for you. 

    You may know him from the insanely popular Facebook Group he created right as the pandemic started in 2020, called The End is Near, so Let’s Drink Beer. 

    He’s one of the funniest people to follow online, and has one of the biggest hearts I’ve ever seen, always looking for ways to give back and support others. 

    Today is the first time that we are actually meeting in person, although we have chatted some back and forth online for a few years. 

    I’m excited to get to know the guy behind a Facebook group with over 100k members.

    My guest today is Brandon McNamee.

    He is the Owner of Mac Realty Group, and probably many more ventures I don’t know about.

    Lessons Learned from a Failed Company to Becoming the Entrepreneur he is Today w/Brad Starnes

    Lessons Learned from a Failed Company to Becoming the Entrepreneur he is Today w/Brad Starnes

    Today we have another in person episode for you. 


    This is someone that to be honest, has made such a big impact on who I am today, and he probably doesn’t even know it. 


    I’ve been “coaching” and helping people with their personal brands and businesses far before I ever launched Builders of Authority. 


    And so often I would offer help and people would look at what I’ve done and make every excuse in the book as to why it was “too much”. 


    Not today’s guest. 


    And today’s guest has gone through an incredible journey. With plenty of ups and downs and challenges. He could have made excuses at every step in the journey, but he’s resilient and for that, I can’t thank him enough. 


    He’s a member of our BOA Mastermind and one of my 1-1 Inner Circle coaching clients. 


    My guest today is Brad Starnes.


    He is the Owner of Screamin Cow Marketing Group and the Host of the Unfair Advantage Podcast. 


    Brad’s Bio:


    As the CEO & President of Screamin Cow Marketing Group, I lead St. Louis' premier marketing agency dedicated to elevating Home Service and Professional Service businesses. With a knack for strategic innovation and a passion for transformative marketing, my journey to the forefront of the industry is a testament to resilience, ingenuity, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.


    Before beginning on the entrepreneurial path that led me to Screamin Cow, I founded Splitsy, a fintech venture that revolutionized how we manage shared expenses. Under my leadership, Splitsy not only secured a significant 6-figure crowdfunding investment but also earned a coveted spot in Equifax's inaugural accelerator program. My efforts were recognized when I was honored as the 2021 Bloch School Entrepreneur of The Year, a milestone that highlights my commitment to disrupting the status quo.
    Despite the challenges that led to Splitsy's closure, my entrepreneurial spirit never wavered. The experience taught me invaluable lessons in resilience, leading me to a pivotal role in business development in St. Louis. This role set the stage for the creation of Screamin Cow Marketing Group, which, under my guidance, has seen remarkable growth. In just a year, we've built a talented team and are on the brink of surpassing six figures in revenue, with 2024 shaping up to be a year of exponential growth.


    Beyond my professional pursuits, my faith and the support of my family are my guiding lights. As a man of Christ who navigates the world with a stutter, I've learned the power of authentic communication and perseverance. My dedication to service is evident through my volunteer work with organizations like Missouri Boys State, and my commitment to building and nurturing both my personal brand and those around me. My driving force is my wife, our two dogs, and the future we're crafting together. Their support fuels my ambition and serves as a constant reminder of why I strive for greatness every day.
