Right out of high school, he was deeply involved in martial arts, earning black belts in karate and Taekwondo, and training in jiu-jitsu and wrestling. His passion for martial arts led him to compete in various competitions, including mixed martial arts (MMA). To support his MMA career, Nick worked as a server and bartender at several restaurants, eventually settling at Taco Mac, a corporate restaurant where he learned he struggled to find opportunities until a roofing company hired him as a sales representative. He quickly fell in love with the industry, appreciating the importance of providing quality roofs to protect families and their homes. After several successful months in roofing sales, Nick's father encouraged him to start his own company. In 2018, Nick and his father founded Hero Roofing with just $1400. The company grew rapidly, achieving over $1.6 million in sales by 2019. Today, Hero Roofing employs 35 people, operates four crews, and installed 1000 roofs last year. valuable lessons in customer experience and service.

Recognizing the unpredictable nature of the roofing industry, which can fluctuate based on economic conditions and weather patterns, Nick emphasizes the importance of a strong leadership team. He has hired key managers, including a general manager and a highly experienced sales manager, to bring diverse perspectives and expertise to the decision-making process.

He emphasizes the importance of not getting stuck in old ways and being willing to experiment with new technologies and processes. Hero Roofing frequently tests new software and systems, discarding what doesn’t work and keeping what does. This approach keeps the company agile and forward-thinking. One notable example of Hero Roofing's innovative initiatives is its early adoption of GAF solar shingles. Nick aimed to be the top-tier contractor in his market and worked diligently to achieve this status. When GAF introduced solar shingles, Nick proactively reached out to GAF to be part of the pilot program, even before the products were available in Georgia. His efforts paid off, and Hero Roofing became one of the first companies in the state to install these innovative solar products. Nick also ensures that his team is well-versed in new offerings.

18. Key Milestones Nick attributes his success to several pivotal experiences and achievements throughout his leadership journey. One of the earliest milestones was making crucial hires to delegate key tasks and job titles. Recognizing that many business owners become too involved in daily operations to effectively grow their businesses, Nick prioritized hiring key people to manage various departments. This delegation allowed him to focus on strategic growth and development. Another significant achievement was Hero Roofing's dedication to customer experience. The company focused heavily on providing exceptional customer service, which led to receiving numerous positive reviews and referrals. Hero Roofing became the top-rated company in its market on Google, boasting the most five-star reviews. This recognition not only brought pride but also increased business due to the company’s stellar reputation. Achieving the GAF Master Elite contractor status was another major milestone. This status, along with joining the prestigious GAF President's Club, placed Hero Roofing among the top 75 roofers in the nation. These achievements underscored the company's commitment to excellence and innovation. In 2021, a devastating tornado hit their market and community. Hero Roofing responded by focusing on genuinely helping the community rather than simply seeking profit. They provided free tarping services and collaborated with nonprofits to support those affected by the storm. This approach not only doubled their revenue that year but also earned them recognition as true heroes in the community.

To achieve this, Nick has a mentor who owns and runs a separate business, providing him with valuable insights and guidance. Learning from another leader has been crucial in his development. In addition to mentoring his employees, Nick benefits from the experience and advice of his mentor. Nick also actively engages in his industry by speaking at roofing conferences and meetings, attending roofing and leadership classes, and participating in business conferences. Networking with other business owners allows him to observe different business practices and integrate the best strategies into his own company.

Ongoing Skill Development Nick continues to develop his skills and stay updated in the ever-changing business landscape by maintaining a mindset of perpetual learning. He believes in always being open to new knowledge and never assuming he knows it all. By observing and learning from other business owners, he keeps up with industry trends and innovations. A recent learning experience that significantly influenced Nick’s leadership style involved addressing an underperforming employee. Instead of immediately confronting the employee about their poor performance, Nick's sales manager, Rob, who has an open-door policy, took the time to sit down and talk to the individual. They discovered that personal issues were affecting the employee's work performance. This experience taught Nick the importance of understanding and addressing the personal factors that can impact an employee's productivity. It reinforced the value of one-on-one conversations and getting to know his team on a deeper level to support their overall well-being and performance. Ethical Leadership and High Performance Nick places a strong emphasis on ethical leadership and consistent high performance. As a Christian, he integrates his faith and values into his business practices. Every Friday, Hero Roofing hosts a Bible study session for its staff, aligning the company’s core values with Christian principles. The core values of the company include integrity, humility, growth, determination, selflessness, leadership, and boldness. Nick emphasizes that these values are not just guidelines for work but also principles to live by, ensuring that the company maintains high ethical standards. When issues arise on job sites, Hero Roofing prioritizes integrity by addressing and rectifying problems, putting the customer’s needs ahead of financial considerations. This commitment to doing what is right helps maintain the company's reputation and fosters customer loyalty. Nick believes that customers value a company that owns up to its mistakes and takes steps to make things right, rather than one that prioritizes profits over people. | 2024 18

At the beginning of each year, employees create vision boards outlining their personal and professional goals. These individual goals are then compiled to form the company's targets. This approach ensures that everyone is aligned and motivated, as achieving the company's goals depends on each person meeting their targets. Hero Roofing also incentivizes high performance through various rewards and competitions. Top performers are recognized with bonuses, company vacations, and internal competitions. For instance, a current competition rewards the environment. Employees are more likely to thrive under a leader who maintains their composure during crises. Additionally, Nick highlighted the significance of community involvement. He believes that actively engaging with and giving back to the community can significantly enhance a business's success. By prioritizing the well- being of both the community and employees, leaders can build a strong foundation for sustained growth and success.

30. Imagine a world where the most vulnerable - the poor, the sick, the hungry - have someone in their corner. That’s where Misereor steps in, seeing past differences in gender, religion, or nationality. Its mission is pure and simple—empowerment. The organization believes everyone deserves a life of dignity, and they walk alongside those struggling to achieve it. The name, “Misereor” (Latin for “I have compassion on the crowd”), comes straight from the Bible, echoing Jesus’ words in Mark 8:2. This compassion is the fuel that drives its every action. Misereor’s name reflects its core value of compassion. It’s the fire that fuels its fight for a more just and equitable world where everyone has the chance to thrive. Original Title: Das PlaCard Year: 2015 Award: World Summit Award Category: Inclusion & Empowerment Organisation: Misereor Country: Germany Misereor Imagine a billboard that doesn’t just beg but lets you be the hero. This wasn’t your average advertisement. It was the world’s first to accept credit card donations, making giving as easy as a swipe. The Swipe of Hope SWIPE FOR CHANGE You saw a heartbreaking image - a child’s bound hands or perhaps a loaf of bread representing a family’s daily meal in Peru. With a simple swipe of your card, you could literally “cut through” the problem, donating €2 to the Misereor. THE POWER IS IN YOUR SWIPE The display instantly showed the difference your donation made. INSTANT IMPACT But the magic didn’t stop there. Your bank statement would later ask if you wanted to turn your swipe of hope into a lasting change, allowing you to become a regular donor. This innovative approach bypassed the passive donation box and made giving personal, rewarding, and sustainable. It was charity transformed into action, one swipe at a time. Here’s how worked: “THE SOCIAL SWIPE” | 2024 30
31. A billboard that’s not just shouting at you but reaching out for your help. Misereor, a global champion against poverty since 1958, knew the ght for justice needed a fresh approach. People were bombarded with donation pleas, and that spark of inspiration often faded. THE POWER OF A SWIPE www.enterprisewired.com | 31
32. But what if a single swipe could make a real difference? MISEREOR Enter the Social Swipe: a revolutionary poster transforming into an interactive experience. With a simple card swipe, you weren’t just donating but participating in the solution. This initiative became more than just an act of giving – it was about seeing the immediate change. The Social Swipe became a bridge between your generosity and the lives it could touch. By turning a passive donation channel into an active experience, Misereor breathed new life into the fight against poverty, proving that even a single euro, empowered by the right idea, could have a world-altering impact. | 2024 32
33. Results and Effectiveness: A Swipe towards Success The Social Swipe was a clever idea and a fundraising powerhouse. Within the first month at international airports, these innovative posters featuring a single, impactful image raked in over €3,000 in donations. But the impact went beyond the initial swipe. Misereor knew the key to lasting change was building a community of dedicated supporters. That’s why it included a clever nudge on credit card statements – a gentle reminder to transform that one-time swipe into a monthly act of compassion. The result was a 23% jump in donors from a single swipe to becoming regular contributors. The Social Swipe proved that even a small gesture, cleverly presented, could spark a wave of generosity and empower people to become active participants in creating a better world. Misereor prioritizes transparency, understanding the power donors entrust them with. It is committed to responsible, economical, and efcient use of every euro donated and holds itself accountable to individual and public contributors. A multi-layered monitoring system ensures transparency within and outside the organization. Clear rules and guidelines are established for the organization and its partners. All areas of work undergo regular and consistent monitoring. Internal protocols for staff and managers further prevent any misuse of funds. The organization's commitment to maximum transparency extends to the regular publication of data on the source and use of funds. Additionally, external consultants evaluate the effectiveness of development work in Misereor-supported projects, documented annually in a public evaluation report. This allows donors to witness the impact of their generosity rsthand. An Initiative for Transparency www.enterprisewired.com | 33

HARNESSING INNOVATION: The Role Of Green Technology In Sustainable Development In an era defined by environmental challenges and the pursuit of sustainable solutions, green technology has emerged as a transformative force. This article explores the significance of Green technology, its impact on various industries, and how it is contributing to a more sustainable future. | 2024 44
45. DEFINING GREEN TECHNOLOGY Green technology, often referred to as environmental technology or clean technology, encompasses a wide range of innovations aimed at minimizing the environmental impact of human activities. It involves the development and application of products, services, and processes that use renewable resources, reduce emissions, and promote energy efficiency. The overarching goal is to address environmental challenges while fostering economic growth. Key Components: Renewable Energy One of the cornerstones of clean technology is the development and utilization of renewable energy sources. Solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power are prime examples of energy alternatives that have gained significant traction. These sources not only reduce dependence on fossil fuels but also contribute to lower greenhouse gas emissions. Energy Efficiency Green technology emphasizes optimizing energy use across various sectors. This includes innovations in energy-efficient appliances, buildings, and industrial processes. The integration of smart technologies, such as IoT (Internet of Things), plays a pivotal role in monitoring and managing energy consumption more effectively. Sustainable Transportation The transportation sector is a significant contributor to carbon emissions. Green technology is revolutionizing transportation through the development of electric vehicles (Evs), hydrogen fuel cells, and advancements in public transportation infrastructure. These innovations aim to reduce the carbon footprint associated with commuting and logistics. Waste Management and Recycling Efficient waste management and recycling are integral components of clean technology. Innovations in waste-to- energy conversion, sustainable packaging, and recycling processes contribute to the circular economy, minimizing the environmental impact of waste disposal. Eco-friendly Manufacturing This technology is influencing manufacturing practices by promoting eco-friendly processes and materials. Sustainable manufacturing involves reducing resource consumption, minimizing waste, and adopting environmentally responsible production methods. This shift towards green manufacturing aligns with the broader goal of creating a more sustainable and circular economy. THE IMPACT ON INDUSTRIES Renewable Energy Sector The renewable energy sector has experienced exponential growth due to advancements in clean technology. Solar and wind farms, along with developments in energy storage solutions, have significantly increased the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix. These technologies not only provide cleaner alternatives but also contribute to energy security and independence. Automotive Industry Green technology has revolutionized the automotive industry, with electric vehicles (EVs) emerging as a viable and sustainable alternative to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. The development of EV infrastructure, battery technology, and advancements in energy storage are pivotal in making sustainable transportation a reality.
