From $18 an Hour to a $100M Roofing Company | John Peck #010

John Peck started a roofing company at 23 with his brother and one truck, and the only goal was making eighteen dollars an hour working for themselves. Twenty years later PB Roofing is part of an organization north of a hundred million in revenue, and John says what unlocked it was admitting the ceiling was never on the business. It was on him. This one is for anyone building something and quietly suspecting they are the bottleneck. John walks through the ten year target that felt impossible and arrived four years early, the difference between owning a company and running one, why he hired people who earn more than he does, and the moment a room full of entrepreneurs asked why he would not spend half a million dollars to double his business. His answer was that he was scared. He also shares the shiny object test he gives founders now, and what he is building next.
