S2 E13: Joshua Miers - No Shortcuts: Honor, Craftsmanship, and the Old Glory Sheds Story

In this episode of Titan Talks, Sam from Topline Pro sits down with Joshua Miers of Old Glory Sheds and Outdoors in Strasburg, Pennsylvania. Joshua shares how a journey through Air Force service, healthcare administration, and hands-on construction work led him to Lancaster County Amish country, arriving the very week COVID shut the world down. Inspired by the Amish community's values of independence and craftsmanship, he built Old Glory Sheds on a simple but non-negotiable principle: no shortcuts. He walks through the structures Old Glory offers, from A-frames and Dutch barns to custom garages and a new line of cabin shells for Airbnb investors, and how he tailors every build to the customer's specific needs across Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey. Joshua also shares the story behind the company's Service and Sacrifice Savings program, which offers discounts to veterans, first responders, teachers, nurses, and ministry workers as a permanent part of the business model, not a marketing tactic. Throughout the conversation, Joshua reflects on balancing timeless craftsmanship with modern technology and why relationships are what a business is truly built on.Topline Pro is an AI-powered platform that helps home service pros get more customers, book more jobs, and spend less time on admin work.

S2 E12: Chris Mole - Roots, Resilience, and the Rise of Mr. Moles Painting

In this episode of Titan Talks, Sam from Topline Pro sits down with Chris Mole, owner of Mr. Moles Painting and Moles Properties in Bemidji, Minnesota. Originally from Newcastle, England, Chris trained as a painter and decorator from the age of 16, working on 16th-century castles before making his way to the United States. He shares the candid story of how hitting rock bottom — spending 170 days in jail after a bar fight, returning home to a broke family surviving on butter noodles — became the turning point that ignited his painting business and reshaped his entire life. Chris talks about the transformative power of community, from joining his local volunteer fire department to forging deep friendships with fellow painters through Nick Slavic's Minnesota Painters network and the PCA, where cooperation always beats competition. He discusses growing Mr. Moles Painting into a seven-person residential repainting operation with expanding services including epoxy floor coatings and cabinetry finishing, and how Moles Properties, a rental portfolio fed directly by his painting revenue, represents his long-term wealth-building vision. He also opens up about working within the constraints of Minnesota's short outdoor painting season, building systems that allowed him to step back into an operations role, and how Topline Pro has been central to professionalizing his business. Throughout the conversation, Chris reflects on growth, gratitude, and why the right relationships don't just build better businesses, they build better people.Topline Pro is an AI-powered platform that helps home service pros get more customers, book more jobs, and spend less time on admin work.

He walks through BCM's "you dream it, we build it" philosophy, his selective approach to clients, and standout projects including octagon houses, exposed timber framing, and a large-scale custom sauna built for an upscale Charlotte fitness facility. Brigham also reflects on evolving from tool belt to corner office, balancing ambition with family life, and why he tells the young entrepreneurs he mentors that you simply can't microwave success.
