Roofing Millionaires and the Art of Purposeful Branding with Muhammad Faiz
2026/06/10
Todd Miller of Isaiah Industries and co-host Ethan Young welcome Muhammad Faiz of Rise Roofers and host of the Roofing Millionaires podcast to discuss how he entered the roofing industry from Pakistan, his shift from ads and lead generation to helping roofers build emotionally resonant brands, and why many contractors lack marketing knowledge and a clear definition of growth.
Faiz explains how purpose can serve as a decision filter amid overwhelming tech and platform choices, and how positioning helps contractors avoid competing solely on the lowest price. He shares why he started Roofing Millionaires as a non-promotional platform for veteran insights, highlights his favorite episodes, and describes client outcomes centered on clarity, fulfillment, and premium perception. In rapid-fire questions, he discusses a childhood English lesson, favorite foods, his view that roofing will return to relationship basics, and how to connect with him.

The Window Depot Success Story with Ed Kalaher
2026/04/01
Todd Miller and co-host Ethan Young welcome Ed Kalaher, President and CEO of Window Depot USA, to discuss how contractors can gain an edge and scale beyond a “job” into a valuable business asset. Kalaher shares Window Depot’s origins (founded 2001; acquired by him and partners in 2011) and explains its dealer/licensee model that provides franchise-like support, exclusive territories, and strong peer networking across 90+ business owners in 85 markets.
The conversation highlights key challenges for home improvement contractors—especially lead generation, hiring and developing people, and the importance of in-person and online communities for sharing ideas. Kalaher emphasizes that the leading cause of failure is lack of financial education, advocating that “the math shows you the path.” He also previews his book, The Servant and the Savage, focused on mindset and execution for small business owners.

How Instant Estimates are Changing Home Improvement Marketing with Austin Rosenbaum
2026/03/04
Todd Miller and co-host Ryan Bell welcome Austin Rosenbaum of Demand IQ to discuss rapid changes in home improvement marketing and lead generation, focusing on pricing transparency and instant online estimates.
Austin explains how Demand IQ evolved from a data-driven marketing agency into a software platform that helps contractors provide online budget estimates to qualify leads, reduce friction, and improve conversion. He describes contractor adoption challenges since 2019, noting increased interest in the past year, and outlines how COVID accelerated digital shopping behavior, especially among millennials and Gen Z.
The episode highlights Google’s new “online estimates” search filter and the risks of ignoring deep-funnel channels like Google and Meta. Austin shares results from a contractor case study, explains onboarding steps to rank for online estimates, and predicts AI agents will increasingly shop and gather quotes on homeowners’ behalf.
