Weather Roof: A Story of Grit, Hustle, and Outlaw Entrepreneurship
In the heart of Mississippi, two young entrepreneurs, Walker Pearson and Corbin Allen, have built Weather Roof, a roofing company that embodies the spirit of overcoming adversity and carving your own path. Founded in 2020 by Walker, Weather Roof is more than a business—it’s a testament to resilience, organic growth, and the audacity to chase success against all odds.
 
Walker, now 26, and Corbin, 27, are the definition of outlaw entrepreneurs. Their journey began with humble roots and hard lessons. Walker faced personal rock bottom in his early 20s, battling addiction and a toxic relationship that led to multiple stints in the Madison County Correctional Facility. It was there, during a 32-day stay, that he had his "aha" moment. Surrounded by career criminals, he realized he didn’t belong in that world. An ankle monitor and court-ordered programs forced him to confront his choices, sparking a fire to rebuild his life. He started Weather Roof as a one-man operation, driven by a vision and a name that popped into his head one day. With no formal business plan, he leaned on sheer determination, knocking on doors to sell roofs—an approach many shy away from but one that became the cornerstone of Weather Roof’s organic culture.
Corbin’s story is equally compelling. Growing up in Brookhaven, Mississippi, he faced a childhood marked by instability, with a mother struggling with drug addiction and a father in and out of prison. An 8th-grade dropout, Corbin found himself in trouble throughout his teens, culminating in a two-year prison sentence at 18. In Rankin County Jail, a fellow inmate’s prophetic words gave him hope: “God can use a failure, but He can’t use a quitter.” That moment ignited a transformation. Upon release, Corbin taught himself carpentry through YouTube, hustling to build porch swings and furniture to make ends meet. His work ethic landed him a job in air conditioning, where he shattered expectations, selling $3 million in systems in a single year, outpacing seasoned salespeople despite his lack of formal education.
 
Together, Walker and Corbin have scaled Weather Roof into a powerhouse with nine branded trucks and a 20-person team. Their success stems from a relentless door-to-door approach, undeterred by rejection, guns pulled, or odd encounters—like the client who sealed a $28,000 deal with a spit-soaked handshake. They’ve turned “no” into fuel, building a brand that now attracts clients through referrals, Google, and social media. Yet, they remain grounded in their roots, fostering a culture of growth, fitness, and mutual support, inspired by like-minded peers like Michael Deir.
 
Weather Roof’s story is about creating your own luck. From Walker’s childhood dream of a Lamborghini to Corbin’s hustle to provide a better life for his four kids, they’ve embraced the pain of entrepreneurship—mental, physical, and emotional. Their mantra? Outwork everyone, surround yourself with truth-tellers, and never fear failure. As Walker puts it, “You gotta cook.” And cook they have, proving that with grit and audacity, even the toughest storms can lead to clear skies.

This Week's Outlaw Entrepreneur - Michael Wimberly

Yo, what's good? I'm Clay Edwards, and whether you're a longtime listener of The Clay Edwards Show or just tuning in, welcome to my brand-new project, Heavy Hitters—a show all about outlaw entrepreneurs, those hustlers who carve their own path to live life on their terms. What's an outlaw entrepreneur? Man, it’s hard to pin down, but you know one when you see one—folks who hustle hard, whether they’re running their own business or killing it in sales like real estate or car deals, building a life they love without punching someone else’s clock. For the next 6-8 weeks, I’m sitting down with business owners who’ve got their name on the checks, starting with my boy Michael Wimberly, a real estate broker with Insight Group and the owner of the legendary McB’s Bar & Grill. Michael’s a mentor, a partner, and a guy who’s been through the grind—losing it all, starting over, and coming out on top with grit and hustle. He’s flipped the real estate game with a flat-fee model that lets his experienced agents keep more of their cash, and he’s poured his heart into McB’s, turning it from a dive bar into a community staple where folks bring old T-shirts and relive memories. From real estate to running a bar, Michael’s story is about investing in people, taking risks, and learning that running a restaurant is like chasing 1,000 marbles on a truck hood—tough as hell but worth it for the community you build. Tune in as we talk hustle, heartbreak, and how to keep swinging no matter what.
