In this episode of Torch Talk, Lindsey sits down with Wes Keim, owner and CEO of Grand View Exteriors, to talk about the highs, lows, and lessons of building a business from scratch. Wes shares how trial, error, and resilience shaped his path as an entrepreneur, from staining gazebos at 19 to leading a growing exterior systems company today.

Wes opens up about early mistakes that taught him lasting lessons, the leap from roofing coatings to full exterior systems, and why setting values early on makes all the difference in business growth. He also dives into personal development, the importance of thinking time, and how leaders can avoid letting money or busyness become their guide.

In this episode, you’ll hear:
• How Wes transitioned from side jobs to running a full-time company
• Lessons from mistakes that shaped his leadership style
• Why values and not profits should guide decision-making
• How personal growth fuels professional growth
• The role of vision and authenticity in leading a team
