[00:00:00]  Welcome to the Successful Life Podcast. I am your host Corey Berrier. And I am here with my man Eric Oberambt. 

[00:00:16] dang week. You did. Dang, it. It's Oberambt. Dang, it. Yeah. I think I practiced that. Like it's the twang. You can't get it with the twang, . Cause you have to pronounce and you just, you can't do that with, you can't do that with the accent. We got a little southern accent down here.

[00:00:36] Yeah, that's okay. That's all right. . What's up brother? I've been super excited to talk to you, dude. You and I are about to have a really great conversation, but first, Introduce yourself. Tell every, tell everybody about you, who you are. Yeah. I'm, yeah. I'm EricI I've got a little sizzle reel and it starts in the beginning it says, I do a lot of things, but the thing I'm, which is true, I do a lot of things.

[00:00:59] And it's funny cuz like at the beginning of our conversation it's what do you actually fucking do, Eric? And it's that's a really good question. So I've been in the roofing space since I was 10 years old. My grandfather started our roofing company back in 1965 and I started working with him when I was a little kid.

[00:01:13] Cause I lived with him since I was seven. So I literally, since I was 10, was up on roofs and graduated through. Building roofs and putting roofs on to sales to eventual ownership. And then learning how to scale the business. That's my main source of income.

[00:01:27] That's how I pay for shit. But what I found out in the last 4, 5, 6 years is that I really have a passion for other things as far as being in the recovery space, obviously is one of 'em. Being the co-founder of Roofers in Recovery with Paul Reed and being able to help people find out who they were actually supposed to be and that they don't have to still live and be that piece of shit that they think that they are, on a daily basis.

[00:01:51] And so I get, I'm really passionate about that and I'm really passionate about talking about leadership. I've been given some really cool opportunities in the last few years to be able to speak and be on stage and be able to take the messages that I built and shared on a micro level inside of my company.

[00:02:09] And I realized, I was like, this is awesome, but how much cooler would it be to be able to share these same things on a macro level with other people? And so being able to get on stages and to be able to do podcasts with people like you and then start our own [00:02:26] podcast with being authentic or get the fuck out, that has been probably one of the most rewarding things that I do.

[00:02:31] I'm a business owner. I'm a real estate guy. I'm a fucking podcast host. I'm a former drunk, I'm a coke addict. Do you know what I mean? Like I'm all those fucking things. But I'm also just Eric Obra and a dad and a husband. Yeah. It's a lot of stuff. I get that. But one thing you said that I thought was interesting, so you're actually like a true roofer in the roofing space.

[00:02:54] You're like, I don't know if I've met too many people that have grown up in the roofing. No, there are only a couple of us left. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. That's really cool. That's why me and Paul I think, hi
