In this episode of The Why We Build Podcast, Greg talks with Corey of Core Remodeling Services about leaving a stable corporate career, starting as a handyman business, and growing into a remodeling company.
Corey shares the real story behind the leap: the early momentum, the pressure of being underfunded, the challenge of building a team, and the moment he realized he had hit the wall as an owner.
The conversation digs into leadership, profitability, peer accountability, learning the numbers, working with family, and what it takes to build a company that can grow beyond the owner.
