This powerful Dropping Bombs episode features Sean Moriarty, a former gang member who rebuilt his life from rock bottom into an eight-figure commercial roofing empire, and now runs three companies simultaneously across construction, education, and technology.
Sean gets raw about the dark years: the streets, the addiction, the betrayal, and the moments he almost lost everything. He breaks down how discipline and systems pulled him back every single time, the brutal truth behind scaling a trades business, and why the roofing industry is one of the most underrated paths to serious wealth.
This episode is raw, real, and hits different. Whether you're in the trades, building a business, or just trying to figure out your next move, Sean's story will shake something loose in you. Entrepreneurs, this one's for you.
