Fired up. Broke. Single mom in 2020.

That’s where Taylor Miller was when she decided she’d never let anyone hold power over her paycheck again.

With zero plans to start a roofing company, Taylor and her husband Jay launched Miller Storm Roofing in one of the most chaotic years in history. They built it from the ground up—turning $5,000 into a multi-million-dollar operation—by mastering systems, automations, and leadership.

In this episode, Taylor shares the raw truth of her journey:
- Growing from “iron-fist” boss to a compassionate, high-performing leader
- How to spot and attract “A players” for your team
- Scaling to $20M+ goals with rock-solid processes and communication
- Why over-communication with homeowners turns into more referrals
- The mindset shifts that turned a rocky start into life-changing careers for her team

If you’ve ever battled hiring struggles, cash flow headaches, or the chaos of wearing every hat in the business… this is your blueprint for building a company with strength, structure, and heart.
