Meet James Miller, owner of Valiant Home Additions in Centerton, Arkansas. James initially embarked on his construction career right after high school, and at the young age of 21, he was running operations for an aluminum gutter company.

Currently leading a team of nine skilled employees, James manages an impressive workload of six to eight projects concurrently. In this captivating story, James shares invaluable insights about how a few bad business decisions led to $1.5 million in debt and how he is working his way out.
