Summary

Tony Flattum built and scaled three multimillion-dollar roofing companies, starting with nothing but door knocking. Brad Lea digs into Tony’s journey from pounding shingles to owning over 1,270 rental units and building Built Strong Exteriors, a multimillion dollar brand. They break down door-knocking sales, scaling teams, investing for passive income, and why roofing might be the most slept-on wealth-building industry in America.
