In today’s episode of The Summit Podcast, I’m joined by Alex Redman of North Star Bailey / College Town Siding (Hanover, MA). Alex has been in the trenches for over 20 years, rising through the ranks under the mentorship of Bob LaPierre—a man who shaped Alex’s work ethic, standards, and leadership. This year, Alex faced a defining season: the loss of his father in January, and the loss of Bob in June. And when that weight hit… Alex answered the call. We talk about: Stepping up as a leader when things get heavy What mentorship really looks like over 20+ years Moving from motivation to drive Imposter syndrome—and the moment Alex realized: “I deserve a seat at the table.” Why legacy is about what you leave in people Alex’s “Edge”: being the person others can count on every day Alex also shares a major personal milestone—officially stepping into a partner-owner role—and the responsibility that comes with taking care of the people who helped build the business. If you’re a contractor, tradesman, leader, or entrepreneur trying to level up through real-life pressure… this one will hit home. 👇 Drop a comment: What’s one moment in your life where you had to step up—ready or not? #SummitPodcast #Leadership #ConstructionBusiness #ContractorLife #Mentorship #Entrepreneurship #PersonalDevelopment
