On the debut episode of the Roofing CEO Podcast, host Mike Abramowitz talks with Tucker Pies, founder of All Concepts Exteriors in Bend, Oregon. Tucker traces his path from high school car sales to RV sales to roofing, the brutal first 90 days selling roofs until he realized he was selling a need and not a want, and how he built a door-to-door setter and closer team to about a million dollars a month before starting his own company. He gets candid about the hardest part of becoming a CEO: letting go of control, getting himself out of the bottleneck, and learning from his own dad's plumbing company as a cautionary tale of a business built around one person.
