Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers a raw redemption story with Bob Schober — a man who was sleeping in a Volkswagen, selling food stamps for half price, and chasing Grateful Dead tours before he found sobriety at 28 years old and never looked back.
Twenty-eight years clean and a nine-figure roofing exit later, he's here to talk about what he built — and what he's doing with it now.
Bob breaks down the private equity deal that changed everything, why he walked away from the operator seat, and the program he's running inside prisons — training inmates on sales and roofing before they ever hit the street. Plus, how giving away cash every week turned into 400 million views in under 90 days.
A man who once couldn't feed himself is now feeding entire communities.
