From Strip Clubs to Roofing Empire

From hustling valet shifts outside a strip club to building and selling a multi-location roofing powerhouse—Martin Pettigrew has lived it all. In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Eric sits down with the founder of Monarch Roofing to unpack the real behind the rise.

Martin shares how golf got him to the U.S., what it took to build a culture-first company from scratch, and why he chose to sell to private equity. He dives deep into what it means to transition from operator to leader, the dark side of expansion, and the overlooked impact of living with intention—at home and in business.

If you’re building something bigger than yourself and wondering if you’re doing it right, this episode is a must. Packed with lessons on hustle, legacy, and learning to let go without losing your purpose.

🔥 No fluff. Just truth.
