The Hunt for Incredible

What if the fastest way to scale isn't better systems or more capital, but becoming a completely different person? When Colt Moncla took on his first million-dollar roofing job, he had zero idea how to execute it. Today, that "fake it till you make it" mindset has built Cool Roofs into a $20M+ multi-state empire with 70+ sales reps.

In this raw conversation, Colt reveals:

• Why "tour guide leadership" crushes traditional management (and how it created specialists who create specialists)
• The counterintuitive reason he waited 6 years before getting an office—and how this stewardship mindset accelerated growth
• His unique "council of mentors" painting strategy that eliminates emotional business decisions
• The brutal personal shifts required to scale from startup founder to $20M+ CEO
• Why thinking time beats hustle culture: his 45-minute "boredom sessions" that unlock breakthrough solutions

"I tell people we're a personal development company that just so happens to do roofing. At the end of the day, we're in the people business." - Colt Moncla
