Robert Mulvin did not grow up dreaming of becoming an entrepreneur. He began making window screens in a garage as a teenager, launched All Pro Shade Concepts at 22, and built it into one of Arizona’s most recognizable shade companies.

In this episode of Beyond the Crown, Lexy Romano talks with Robert about his more than 20 years in business, the importance of treating employees well, creating content that connects with people, and delivering quality products without using high pressure sales tactics.

Robert also shares the personal story behind his success. Despite having money in the bank and a growing company, he found himself depressed, overweight, and working up to 18 hours a day. With support from his family and help from fitness and business coaches, Robert developed better systems, transformed his life, and lost 100 pounds.

It is an honest conversation about entrepreneurship, leadership, personal transformation, and what it means to build a business that supports employees, customers, and their families.
