This week on the Born to Tint Podcast, we sit down again with Alysha Yancey, the owner of Ace of Shades out of Fayetteville, North Carolina. This is Aly’s second time on the show, and for good reason — she continues to be an Army Veteran, entrepreneur, and rising leader in the window tinting industry, building her business from the ground up and leveraging the power of social media to grow fast.

In this episode, Aly updates us on what’s changed since her first appearance, how she has scaled Ace of Shades over the past two years, and how content creation continues to shape her business. We dig into team development, mistakes and lessons learned, accountability, SOPs, customer intake processes, and what it takes to grow a reputable tint shop in today’s industry.
We also dive into:

-How Aly grew her brand using TikTok, Instagram, and storytelling
-Why intake and documentation protect your business
-Developing team structure, managing mistakes, and setting expectations
-Balancing leadership, installation, content creation, and motherhood
-How to build a tint brand with long-term value
-Scaling, family business dynamics, and staying grounded through growth
