Scott Edwards grew up in Huntsville, Texas. He is currently the President and CEO of Mammoth Roofs after founding the company in 2017.

Scott was the 2021 Businessman of the Year in Boerne, TX where the Mammoth Roofs is headquartered.

Scott Edwards’ passion lies in developing people.

He will often be heard explaining that his businesses are only tools to help grow people and create success for them and build a better future for their families.

He’s trained hundreds of sales professionals throughout his career and has written countless texts and manuals for sales, leadership, and training.

One of his books “How to Sell 1MM and Earn $100,000 in Your First Year in Roofing : AKA The Roofing Sales Bible” has created momentum in his coaching business.

In 2018, Scott’s first full year in business, the company revenue was approximately $800,000.

Since then, Scott and his Team have built nearly 30 million in projects in Texas and have opened 2 new office locations to serve more Texans.

God, family, fitness, business, football…In that order, are the things Scott loves the most.

Scott is a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and that Christ is at the wheel. When it comes to family, Scott, although highly committed to his professional growth, always makes sure his family knows they come before work, attending games, tournaments, recitals, coaching, and always encouraging his kids and his wife Danielle to pursue their dreams.

Scott loves football. He and his son will watch any game, any league, any level, any time.

Scott definitely represents the Dad Up Tribe very well.

He was the 2012 recipient of the Liberty Bowl’s Harry Zinn Spirit of 1776 award for distinguished citizenship, recipient of the Carnival Memphis’ King’s award for outstanding achievement in Business and Industry, and the National Football Foundation and College Hall of fame Memphis chapter’s award winner for The distinguished American for Contribution to Amateur Athletics.

In 2013, he was inducted into the prestigious Society of Entrepreneurs as a result of his success in business and community service.

He speaks at a variety of events from the Para Olympics in Colorado Springs, with Nike, PepsiCo, FedEx, and other nationally recognized companies, to churches, schools, and hospitals.

As an entrepreneur, former executive, husband, and father of three, Cory Carlson understands the pressures working parents face.

He is passionate about helping business leaders win at home and work.


Twenty years in corporate America gave Cory amazing opportunities as he worked his way up to the executive level.

But he also saw brokenness: work without purpose, burnout, lack of focus, strained marriages, and absentee parents.

Business leaders especially were often not living life to the fullest.

When Cory discovered coaching, it helped him become a better leader, husband, and father.

So he left his corporate career to help other leaders win at work and at home.

Cory does this through executive coaching, speaking, and writing.

 

Currently, Cory lives in Cincinnati with his awesome wife and three amazing children.

Cory has a Civil Engineer degree from the University of Missouri and an MBA from Rockhurst University.

His first book released in June 2019 titled, Win at Home First, and is an inspirational guide for work-life balance.

His book was Amazon's #1 New Release in 3 Categories and listed in FORBES as ‘7 Books Everyone On Your Team Should Read’.

 

Cory just released his second book, Rise and Go. This book is a resource to help leaders get back up quicker after getting knocked down from the challenges of leadership and life.

He hosts the leadership podcast, Win at Home First, a Top 1.5% global podcast per ListenNotes.

Over the last 30+ plus years David has built quite a successful life by most measures.

He is a Husband, Father, and a semi-retired Sr. Network Engineer.

Getting into computers at a relatively young age he had a solid career!

He bought his first house at 24 years old and his second at 27.

However, this was all in spite of the know-it-all rebellious nature, massive lack of discipline, & substance abuse issues you might expect from a Gen X'er that grew up in the East Bay, California in the 90's.

His addiction to escaping reality & experimenting with drugs started around 13-14 years old which took James through high school, rehab, jail, and a meth problem by the time he was 18. 

The last time he touched that stuff was in a County County jail in 1995 but that is only where the rest of his story begins.

David has quite the story and he shares all of it and more in this amazing interview.

Those that meet Justin Pickens and hear his back story always respond with similar statements; “I can’t believe you turned out the way you have” or, “What an overcomer”.

Born to two loving parents who dealt with their own demons of mental illness and addiction, Justin’s childhood was riddled with poverty, dysfunction, and domestic abuse. 

Statistically speaking, Justin and his younger brother, Tommy, most likely should have followed in their parents' footsteps. 

However, despite their own personal short falls, Justin’s parents instilled positive attributes through support and high expectations that led Justin to success. 

Justin was the first member from his dad’s side of the family to graduate from college and has since earned two masters degrees.  

For the past 13 years, Justin has served as a teacher and coach for multiple sports. 

Currently, Justin has recently transitioned careers and works for Edward Jones as a financial advisor in training.  

Over the past 6 months, Justin has been working part-time for Streamline Books, a hybrid publishing company that helps others tell their stories.

Working for Streamline, Justin found his way on to LinkedIn and has enjoyed sharing his own stories by creating content and posting on LinkedIn. 

Justin is married to his wife Kyndra and has a two year old son named Whit and a newborn girl named Gentry. They reside in Kansas City, Missouri.
