He drove himself to the hospital and died on the table, and it still was not the moment that changed his life. Today, Jason Nemes runs one of the fastest-growing roofing companies in Texas, and he is convinced the same discipline that finally got him sober is exactly what wins in business.

In this episode, Reese sits down with Jason Nemes, Founder & CEO of Summit Solutions Roofing and Construction — a two-time heart attack survivor, bestselling author, and TEDx speaker known online as The Tatted Prez. Summit is not yet two years old and already expanding into six states, and Reese and Jason talk about company culture, warranties that actually mean something, and what two decades in network marketing taught him about building a team. Jason opens up about the night in Costa Rica that got him sober for good, the brother he lost to a heroin overdose, and why he thinks a college degree would not have taught him a single thing his own hustle didn't already cover. He and Reese also compare notes on pricing against fly-by-night roofing competitors, why AI is not about to replace a roofer anytime soon, and why he believes there is no such thing as work-life balance in entrepreneurship.
