  • Leaders Fuel Episode 14 Michelle Russ - Lead with Values / Know Your Numbers

    Michelle Russ

    Michelle was born in San Diego California but raised primarily in Albany, Georgia, and has lived in Greenville, South Carolina for the past 26 years. She is the first daughter in a family of nine children.

    Michelle is married and has four children, she enjoys being outdoors, hiking, and western horseback riding. But her passion is helping develop others to reach their full potential. She sees the good and positivity in others, she inspires confidence and encourages those around her to be their best selves. She is a leader that leads by example and hard work.

    She created The Roofing Company in late 2018. With S employees and only a couple of months left in the year, she reached sales of $480,000. In 2019 she led The Roofing Company to 2.5 million in sales and in 2020 she closed out the year with S million in sales and 39 employees.

    Although she started The Roofing Company in 2018, she has been in the roofing industry for 16 years. She began as a full-time business bookkeeper for a prominent local construction company and also trained horses. While training, she sustained an injury that left her immobile and on her back for some time. This time allowed her to focus on herself, her dreams, and what her passions really were. She realized that the joy she felt from training these majestic creatures, she also felt when helping others see and reach their greatest potential. While healing from her injuries, she went to college and received an accounting degree. When she was fully recovered, she came back to the roofing industry with a passion and a drive that motivated her to be an incredible asset to the company she was employed for. She wore multiple hats, running a company that wasn't hers and making it into a vibrant thriving company, reaching 3 million in sales year after year. Company politics seemed to keep Michelle in a box where she couldn't allow herself, her staff nor the company to fully grow and reach their greatest heights. It was then that she realized that to accomplish her passion she needed to be in a position of leadership. So she started the first-ever, woman-owned, and operated roofing company.

    The Roofing Company now has 2 locations, 39 employees, and is still growing strong. She treats her employees with love and respect, empowering them to reach their potential and fulfill their dreams. The Roofing Company working culture has a true family feel, making employees and customers alike feel that they are a part of something great

  • Leaders Fuel Episode 10: Brenda Baker / An Entrepreneurial of Service

    Brenda Baker

    Brenda’s passion is all about helping people. One of her greatest achievements was working internationally in the field of adoptions for 18 years. She organized the placement for over 1,000 orphan children from Russia, Latvia, Moldova, Estonia, Romania, China, and Guatemala.

    During her tenure, Brenda was very instrumental in providing humanitarian aid to the children left behind. Brenda has seven children, five of whom are adopted.

    Brenda’s youngest son “Sasha” was diagnosed with ADHD, dyslexia, and dysgraphia at the age of 11; he was on a first-grade educational level. Brenda was told Sasha’s chances to ever catch up would be, if possible, a challenging road ahead.

    Having tried pharmaceutical medication in Sasha’s early elementary days Brenda was very reluctant to try medication again, however, at the advice of Sasha’s pediatrician, they tried pharmaceutical medication for two years.

    The side effects were horrific. Then one day her son boldly stated, “No more meds,” which ultimately changed his and Brenda’s lives. Researching alternative methods to pharmaceutical medications lead Brenda on a mission to complete her studies in natural health.

    Brenda has over a decade of experience in natural health. She is a Board-Certified Drugless Practitioner and Board-Certified Alternative Health Medical Practitioner. Brenda is a traditional naturopath and graduated from Trinity College of Natural Health with a doctorate in Naturopathy. Brenda also holds specialties as an advanced Loomis Digestive Health Specialist, Enzyme Nutritionist, Master Herbalist, Certified Natural Health Professional, Certified Nutritional Consultant, Certified Iridologist, and Certified RECODE specialist (reversing cognitive decline).

    Brenda works with each client individually to determine their body’s strengths and weaknesses. Through a diagnostic screening and complete health evaluation, Brenda touches on the stress of the body then implements a nutritional plan to harmonize those stressors.

    Brenda is gifted in helping clients see their authentic self and empowers each of them to take control of their health, so they have the quality of life they desire and deserve.
