    Feb 24 2026

    In this episode, Tommy Mello shares with Brian the story of how sheer grit, hard work, and strong relationships helped him build a company valued at $2B, A1 Garage Door Service. Tommy discusses his humble, blue-collar background, where he worked on a series of jobs including busing tables, lifeguarding, bartending, and flipping cars —until a roommate introduced him to the garage door industry. Tommy started there first as a painter, before becoming the “go-to guy” for multiple companies, and eventually launching his own business. He also shares how the relationships he developed with mentors and other important people in his life informed how he treats the employees at his own company.


    Tommy also discussed the strategies he has learned and used along the way, including the key performance indicators (KPIs) that help him to continue to create business success.

    • How to move from hustle to leadership by building systems, processes, and accountability.
    • A simple KPI framework to reverse-engineer your budget and start the year with momentum.
    • The four questions he uses to help create a superior, client-service experience every time, no matter the customer’s budget.
