Are you a roofing contractor feeling overwhelmed, buried in chaos, and unsure how to keep up with AI, lead generation, and constant market shifts?

In Episode #7 of the Roofing Business Growth Circle Podcast, Jacques Skuteeki sits down with Kim Groshek, Transition Strategy Expert, CEO advisor, and leadership strategist, to unpack the real challenges roofers are facing in 2026, and what to do about them.

✔ Getting quality leads in a shifting economy
✔ Keeping up with AI without losing the human touch
✔ Escaping operational chaos and daily overwhelm

If you’re a roofing business owner who wants more profit, better systems, and real freedom — this conversation is for you.

• Why leads must be tested before overhauling your entire business
• The right way to implement AI without letting it run your company
• How to identify the real gap in your roofing operation

Roofing contractors don’t fail because they lack skill, they struggle because no one ever taught them how to think like a business owner instead of a technician.

In this episode of the Roofing Business Growth Circle Podcast, Jacques Skuteeki sits down with Wayne Pratt, master networker, Jack Canfield–certified coach, and author of Freshly Brewed Coaching, to unpack how coaching, mindset, and clarity help roofers build profitable, exit-ready businesses.

Wayne explains why so many roofers go from wearing a tool belt to managing 10+ employees without systems, leadership skills, or a clear vision, and how coaching helps them step back, gain clarity, and finally work on the business instead of in it.

If you’re a roofer or home repair contractor who wants:

• ✔ More profit
• ✔ Better systems
• ✔ A business that doesn’t depend on you every day
• ✔ A clear path toward freedom or exit

…this conversation will hit home.

✔ Why most roofers accidentally become technicians instead of business owners

✔ The biggest mindset shift required to scale a roofing company

✔ How coaching helps contractors gain clarity without overwhelm

✔ Why working harder isn’t the answer to growth

✔ How to prepare your roofing business to be sellable or self-managing

✔ The “Be, Do, Have” framework for business and personal goals

✔ How better communication improves employee performance

✔ Why belief in yourself comes before systems, SOPs, or marketing

In this episode of the Roofing Business Growth Circle Podcast, Jacques Skuteeki sits down with Michael Whitehouse, author of A Guy Who Knows a Guy and an “extrovert for hire,” to break down how roofers and home repair contractors can actually use AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity without getting overwhelmed.

Michael explains why most trades business owners feel behind when it comes to technology, and why that feeling is completely normal in a world where tools and algorithms change faster than ever. Instead of chasing every new platform, Michael shares how roofers can use AI as a tireless assistant to research marketing options, understand Google Business Profile, evaluate tools, stay ahead of regulations, and make smarter business decisions.

This episode is not about hype or replacing humans with technology. It’s about using AI to shorten your learning curve, reduce stress, and stay competitive, even if you’re not “techy.”

If you’re a roofer or contractor trying to figure out where AI fits into your business (without wasting time or money), this conversation will change how you think about technology.

• Why AI overwhelms roofers — and how to simplify it
• AI works best as an assistant, not a replacement
• How roofers can research marketing options instantly
• Using AI to understand Google Business Profile & ads
• Why better questions lead to better AI results
• How to fact-check AI answers with sources
• Using multiple AI tools to validate decisions
