    The Million-Dollar Leak: Why Bad Follow-Up Is Costing Contractors Everything with Daniel Strohli

    Daniel Strohli started in real estate at 16, knocking on shopping-center doors and trading free work for a front-row seat inside dozens of businesses, from nail salons to high-end jewelers. That obsession with understanding how a business actually makes money became his whole career. In this episode of High Stakes with Steve Rozenberg, Steve and Daniel dig into what really separates the owners who win from the ones who stay stuck. They cover why most contractors don't have a marketing problem, they have a problem after the phone rings, and how missing three or four jobs a month to bad follow-up can quietly cost you over a million dollars a year. They also get into sacrifice versus success, the beliefs Daniel had to let go of, where AI fits for the 25-year-old operator versus the 78-year-old contractor, and why "adding fuel to a non-existent fire just leaves you with fuel." If you're a contractor or trades business owner tired of blaming the market when the real gap is your system, this one's for you.

    The Bill Always Gets Paid — In Time or in Money with Jethro Hopkins | High Stakes Podcast

    Most people let their circumstances define their future. Jethro Hopkins refused to. A high school dropout who found himself homeless three different times, Jethro could have accepted the hand he was dealt. Instead, he built a career fighting for the people too often overlooked, the mom-and-pop shops, family-owned businesses, and small operators who keep our communities alive. In this episode of High Stakes with Steve Rozenberg, Steve and Jethro get into what it actually takes to build a business that runs without you — and why so many owners stay stuck. They also break down the Cabo executive retreat (September 9–13) bringing together Jethro, Steve, Jason Cisneros, Emily Cisneros, and Kyle Offrey — five days of mindset, operations, sales, and exit strategy in paradise, with every session wrapped by mid-afternoon so you can actually enjoy it.

    The Hardest Business Lesson You’ll Ever Learn with Casey Fabling & Chris Tighe | High Stakes Podcast

    Most people think failure is the end of the story, but Casey Fabling proved it can be the beginning of a better one. For more than 25 years, Casey has helped homeowners turn houses into homes they truly love, but after growing his company to nearly $10 million, Casey watched it disappear when the market shifted. Instead of letting that define him, he rebuilt from the ground up, with better systems, stronger boundaries, and a commitment to putting his family first. In this conversation with Chris Tighe, Casey shares why success isn't about avoiding setbacks. It's about becoming the kind of leader who can rise from them __________________________________ https://steverozenberg.com/ __________________________________ Steve Rozenberg, originally aspiring to be an international pilot, navigated a challenging shift in his career trajectory when the 9/11 attacks jeopardized his pilot career.

    Betting on Systems, Not Heroics with Chris Bolio

As the leader of Alair Homes Houston, Christopher has built a reputation for transparency, disciplined systems, and delivering an exceptional client experience.

    How To Scale-up Contractor Businesses with Eric Fortenberry

    Most entrepreneurs believe growth is about working harder, Eric Fortenberry believes it's about building better. What started as a mission to help one construction company has grown into a platform serving thousands of contractors across the industry. But despite the growth, the message remains the same: great businesses aren't built by doing everything yourself. In this conversation with Steve, Eric shares why delegation, strong systems, and the right community are the keys to scaling a profitable business without losing yourself in the process. Because if you want to keep up, you have to level up. And the contractors who embrace change today will be the ones setting the standard tomorrow. __________________________________ https://steverozenberg.com/ __________________________________ Steve Rozenberg, originally aspiring to be an international pilot, navigated a challenging shift in his career trajectory when the 9/11 attacks jeopardized his pilot career.

    Your Business Doesn’t Need More Leads, It Needs Better Systems with Nick Peret

    Nick Peret shares his journey from growing up in a family of tradespeople to becoming a systems and operations specialist for contractors. Drawing from his experience in marketing, sales automation, and working alongside successful roofing businesses, Nick explains why most contractors don't have a lead problem, they have an operations problem. The conversation explores the importance of systemizing every stage of the customer journey, creating repeatable processes, and building businesses that can scale without relying on the owner for every decision. --- Nick Peret is the Founder & CEO of Better Boss, a JobTread Certified Implementation Partner that turns chaotic contracting businesses into real companies in 30 days. He's the creator of the B.O.S.S. Method, a four-week Blueprint, Optimize, Systematize, Scale framework that's helped builders add over $1M in annual revenue and save 600+ hours per year.

    On Consistant Growth with Marketing Campaigns with Kevin Davidson

    Most people wait for the market to improve. Kevin Davidson isn't most people. A professional with 5 years of experience in property management, 3 years in Real Estate Title Insurance & Presidents Club award winner in 2025, shares with Steve the key to tackling and mastering new industries and the strive for success that comes with hard work. While others are sitting on the sidelines talking about interest rates, inventory, and market conditions, he's out creating opportunities. One more event. One more conversation. One more introduction. One more relationship. Because success in real estate has never been about waiting for the perfect market. It's about showing up when others don't. The agents who win aren't always the smartest. They're not always the most experienced. They're the ones willing to stay in motion when everyone else hits pause.
