We celebrate a major milestone—300 episodes of Behind the Tool Belt—and reflect on the journey from our basement beginnings to building a community that spans across the country.
• The podcast started as a way to promote charity events and share insights about roofing, but evolved into a platform for personal development and leadership
• Consistency has been the key to success—showing up week after week regardless of circumstances or feelings
• Intentional communication changes outcomes—choosing to say something is "different" rather than "it sucks" keeps your mind open to possibilities
• True leadership means recognizing it's no longer about you—you're providing resources and momentum for others to succeed
• Creating processes (SOPs, KPIs) works best when built on a foundation of strong culture
• The podcast has forced growth through better listening, speaking, and challenging personal comfort zones
• Future plans include hosting a Behind the Tool Belt event in 2026 and expanding coaching for contractors
Thank you to everyone who has listened, shared, commented, and been part of this journey. The next 300 episodes will be even better as we continue building people, growing our community, and pushing the industry forward together.
