In This Episode

Carnie Fryfogle III has a picture of himself at 3 years old, holding a hammer, nails and 2x4s. Coming from a multi-generational family construction trade, he had big goals to scale the family business, and dove into it at 20 years old. He shares his perspective on what scaling a small roofing business to a national franchise looks like, how to handle growth stages, and how to create an infrastructure early to support business success.

When we’re growing, and it’s painful and we’re dealing with all these different challenges every single day, week, month, year… the more we progress and knock those down, there’s going to be people coming with us, but there’s going to be a boatload of people who fell off because they faced some adversity.”
