Roofing + Florida = Path to $100m | Matt Jackson Interview

Today's guest doesn't think it's crazy that his business could get to $100m in revenue over the next 7 or 8 years. In fact, he thinks it's pretty realistic. And Matt Jackson bought the business just 2 years go, when it was doing $5m in sales. It's a roofing business in Florida, and what Matt is finding is that good service goes a long way. Matter of fact, after we stopped recording, Matt made more clear to me just how flooded with business and referrals he is. And he's in a crowded market; lots of roofing companies in Florida. You are going to learn all about the roofing business, an industry I haven't yet done a deep dive on. And one which Matt thinks is just now starting to get interest from private equity.
