In this episode Erik is joined by Eric Smith, Founder and CEO of Pak Exteriors, to talk about his journey in the roofing industry, how he built Pak differently, and why roofing in the mountains is far more than just putting shingles on a house. From snow loads and ice dams to ventilation and material selection, Eric explains why high-altitude roofing requires a scientific approach. We also dig into one of the biggest challenges facing mountain businesses: building a highly skilled workforce and finding ways to retain great employees. Eric shares how Pak approaches employee development, skill-building, and retention—and why investing in people is just as important as investing in the science behind the work.
