Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chris Zimmerman - Building an Empire From Roofing to AI
Q: What was the turning point that made you commit fully to roofing and growth?
The pivotal shift happened when I stopped chasing money and focused on solving problems and serving homeowners. This reframed my work as a mission, which unlocked deeper engagement, innovation, and the energy to grow multiple ventures.
Adrian Keeler - From Fly Fishing to Sheriff: Leadership, Faith & Protecting Wyoming
Q: How did you decide to pursue law enforcement after a teen years that pointed in other directions?
He describes an early encounter with a condescending officer that sparked a sense of fairness, then a guided decision to pursue a path where he could enforce the law while treating people with dignity, ultimately applying to the Buffalo Police Department and shaping his philosophy through hands‑on leadership and training.
Katherine Flechaus- What’s Really Holding You Back Isn’t Skill—It’s Belief And, You Can Fix It!
Q: Can you tell us a little bit of the story of getting that business off the ground and maybe the struggles or the wins that you faced along the way?
Katherine describes the challenges of transitioning from healthcare to private coaching, including fears about money, marketing, and losing the security of a steady paycheck, and emphasizes learning through trial, seeking mentors, and building a client base.
Ty Stoller - From 1.4 million Turkeys to Caulking Tycoon
Q: What was the most difficult challenge you've faced to date?
The most difficult challenge was the Union confrontation in 2015, which threatened to dismantle our culture, followed by a hard-fought, multi-month struggle to retain our team and identity; ultimately we stood firm, retained our people, and reaffirmed our Sawtooth way.
Dylan McCabe - From Special Ed to Seminary and Eventually a National Roofing Group
Q: What has kept you going through tough startup phases?
Prayer and a deep belief that God has a plan, plus a commitment to building healthy relationships and practical systems that create real value for members and suppliers alike.
