In this episode of the Mission Control Podcast, Mike sits down with David Carroll — Founder of DOPE Marketing and one of the most radically self-aware entrepreneurs in the contractor space.

David's story is nothing short of wild. From spending ages 21 to 25 in prison, to rebuilding his life from scratch, to becoming a leader, father, and business owner with a completely different outlook on discipline, gratitude, and growth — this conversation goes deep.

Mike and David break down what it actually takes to reinvent yourself, how destructive habits can silently run your life, why gratitude doesn't come naturally to most entrepreneurs, and the internal work required to stop running on chaos and start living with intention. David opens up about sobriety, fatherhood, ego, expectations, and the turning points that forced him to confront who he really wanted to be.

If you're a contractor, business owner, or anyone trying to rewrite your story while building something meaningful, this episode hits different. It's raw, honest, and packed with lessons from someone who's lived every chapter — the highs, the lows, and the work it takes to grow through all of it.

In this episode of the Mission Control Podcast, Mike sits down with Larry Landwher, owner of Grand View Roofing & Exteriors in New Jersey. Larry shares his journey from working long hours as a subcontractor to running a growing roofing and exteriors company — and the mental toll that came with it.

They dive into what it takes to transition from sub-work to full ownership, how to stay clear-headed when business feels like you're being waterboarded, and why vulnerability and networking can change everything. Larry opens up about the fear that almost ended it all, the systems that saved him, and the lessons he's learned scaling from 11 to 34 employees in just a year.

If you're a contractor chasing growth, battling burnout, or just trying to keep your head above water — this one's for you.
