We Hit $150M in 3 Years. No Debt. No Fake Gurus. Here's the Real Blueprint!
What does it actually take to build the 4th largest debt-free roofing platform in America in under 3 years — while everyone else is handing money to fake gurus at industry conferences?
In this episode of the Build It To Sell It Podcast, Lance sits down with LB Capital CEO Bill Rossell and COO Kelly Mesaris to pull back the curtain on $150M+ in retail sales, their 10th corporate partner, and the unfiltered truth about what it costs — emotionally, operationally, and personally — to build something that lasts. No fluff. No highlight reel. Just the real conversation happening behind the company.
