On the D2D Podcast, James Edwards sits down with Joel Stark, COO of Go Nano, the roof rejuvenation company. Joel explains how a treatment that restores flexibility to aging shingles gives roofing contractors a second vertical, one that turns the homeowners who aren't ready to replace into paying customers instead of dead leads. He also breaks down the leadership that made the growth possible: why he stopped doing all the work himself, why he hires people stronger than he is, and why he considers himself in the people business no matter what industry he's standing in.

Joel Stark came up through construction, served in the Army, spent 18 years in hospitality operations, and moved into roofing in upstate New York before joining Go Nano roughly five years ago, growing its contractor network from 14 to 517.
