They Thought They Were Making Money—Then the ROOF Caved In!

Think you’re profitable? Think again. This episode might save your business—before the numbers tell a different story!

You guys thought you were making money, didn’t you? Owner of Hail King Professionals Roofing- Landon Stokes along with Cameron are here to expose the raw truth!
I sit down with this crew, straight out of Texas, to uncover the real challenges keeping this company—and most other contractors—stuck. They’re sharp, humble, and hungry to grow, but like many business owners, they were facing hidden landmines: subcontractor chaos, budget breakdowns, commission confusion, and the stress of carrying too much on too few shoulders.

We break it down like this:
-Why subcontractors will eat your margins alive if you don’t get control
-The mindset shift from running with heart to building with strategy
-How budgeting, systems, and team-building aren’t just buzzwords—they’re survival tools
-The power of surrounding yourself with the right people—and why access = acceleration
-This is real talk from the trenches. No sugarcoating. No theory. Just two hard working guys facing the truth, making moves, and learning fast.
