Level Up Claims January 17, 2024

Episode Description

Dimitry Lipinskiy discusses his rise from a trade worker in Siberia to an influential figure in the U.S. roofing industry. Driven by hard work, ambition, and the dedication to offer valuable content, Dimitry has created a reputable brand and a popular YouTube channel where he exposes immoral practices in the industry. He shares the concept behind his creation of the Roofing School and his approach to dealing with conflicts within the industry. Dimitry also delves into his several business ventures, including an underlayment business in China, and his main focus – a screened contractors directory aiming to compete with large firms like Angie Tomtack, which he anticipates to be his billion-dollar project.

Who’s the Guest?

Dimitry Lipinskiy is a serial entrepreneur, business consultant and host of the most influential YouTube channel in the roofing industry. Over the last 15 years, he has founded and sold several multi-million dollar companies, and in 2020, he formally launched his media company Roofing Insights.
