This week, we have a humdinger of a Guest. I’ve known Aaron since his early days in roofing and have watched him grow into one of the leaders in the Commercial space. He’s one of the nicest people that I’ve ever met. He’s written a book to help bring new people in, gotten involved in multiple business ventures, including Roofing Supply, Website development, and something about Peppers, or something like that. Oh, and we both used to be a lot different-looking. It took me over 5 years to secure the guest, and it was worth the wait.

Tonight, we welcome our buddy JoJo back to the show after a couple of years away. I always enjoy catching up with my pals, and this is that. From our time together as Partners to purchasing Rio Blanco from him, what it’s like to run multiple ventures and still make time for what’s really important, to a story of  a potential course record from golf, this one covers it all. This guy definitely helped  shape my life and made me a better version of myself along the way. I hope you all enjoy.

His music is built on storytelling, clever lyricism, and seeing life from perspectives that make you stop and think.

With projects including The Project Pt. 1, The Project Pt. 2, Madura Blend, and his album "You Got McDonalds Money", Lee continues to carve out his own lane as an independent artist who's always creating and always pushing himself.

Anyone who knows Matt knows that he’s one of the nicest people around. When he announced that he was going to be leaving Roofr a couple of months back, I wondered what was up. Luckily, he reached out and asked if I wanted to do a podcast to find out. I’m guessing that I said yes, because Episode 259 is live. Enjoy!!
