From overpriced marketing traps to the hidden cost of small subcontracting jobs, the guys unpack the habits that quietly drain profits and momentum. They also get personal, sharing how social media, hobbies, and even “good things” can stunt growth when they’re out of balance. Elias opens up about a powerful moment of realizing that achieving old dreams didn’t bring fulfillment and why purpose matters more than ever. You’ll walk away challenged, refocused, and ready to make strategic cuts that push your roofing business forward.
