Profit Over Revenue: The Scaling Reality Most Founders Ignore with Tommy Mello

Profit Over Revenue: The Scaling Reality Most Founders Ignore with Tommy Mello

Revenue looks impressive. Profit is what keeps you in the game. If your business only runs when you are in the building, you are not scaling, you are surviving. In this episode of The Next Level Podcast, Jeremy Miner sits down with Tommy Mello, CEO of A1 Garage Door Service, a home service operator who has scaled to 700 employees across 20 states and is pushing toward $220M in revenue. Tommy breaks down the real difference between chasing growth and building a profitable company with systems, leadership, and the right people in the right seats. You will learn why profit beats revenue, how to stop being the bottleneck, and what it actually takes to scale through delegation and incentives that keep top talent aligned. This is for entrepreneurs and operators who want a business that performs consistently, builds real culture, and grows without burning out the founder. If you are serious about building a company that lasts, this conversation is for you
