  • Interviewing liars and cheats

    Chris Lee/Solgen Power are some of the least ethical people in the business world. This man has zero integrity. Just look around online for reviews of his company. Every one will tell you how he has scammed them and lied to them. Anyone interviewing this guy shouldn’t be given the courtesy of a listen unless your goal is to learn how to swindle people.

  • Two great businessmen - great listen!

    What an impactful conversation! I was lucky enough to attend the 6th annual roofing process conference last year and was given the opportunity to hear both of these guys speak! It was an eye opening moment and experience as a whole and really made me want to better myself! These are the type of people that you need to surround yourself with, who want to grow, want to be great, and put the pressure on themselves and others to follow this lifestyle!

Q: So tell everybody who you are and what you do, Frank, and we're going to talk a lot about building companies, selling companies, marketing, private equity firms.
I'm Frank DiMarco, CEO of Champion Group Holdings. I grew up in the trades, built multiple businesses, faced rock-bottom challenges, and eventually partnered with private equity to scale and exit.

I now run companies with a hands-on, detail-oriented approach learned from years in the field.
