In this episode, we talk with Thommy Lewis, Founder & CEO of Square Footage Maintenance and Remodeling. We learn how he went from grinding in the streets as a young man to being forced out by his former employer Peterbilt after being hurt on the job to deciding to create his own economy by teaching himself how to be a General Contractor. 

Thommy shares with us his funniest, worst, and best entrepreneurial moments:

• a time when a client assumed he was an employee and demanded he calls his boss so she could have him reprimanded. Listen to hear how humorously he handled this situation.  
• he was in a difficult situation where he completed a project after fronting over $150K of his own money and the client refused to pay. He talks about how that affected him mentally, how it affected his household, and how he got through it.
• he shares with us his Kendrick Lamar moment when he realized that he could pay child support off out of pocket and still have money left to provide his wife and kids a comfortable life.
