How Faith, Failure, and Grit Shaped Grant Young’s Success
From door-to-door sales to building a national company—Grant’s story is about betting on yourself and growing through it all.
The Power of Betting on Yourself (Twice)
In this episode of Case Studies, Grant Young opens up about what it really takes to build something from scratch, twice.
His journey spans from humble beginnings in door-to-door solar sales, to moving his pregnant wife across the country on faith, to now running one of the fastest-growing home services companies in the country.
But this isn’t just about business. It’s about belief.
Faith in the Unknown
After a rocky mission, Grant could’ve stayed home. But one text from a mentor changed everything, and he went back to finish. That choice set the tone for the rest of his life.
“I know when I start something, I’m going to finish.”
That same conviction showed up again when he and his wife moved to New York City with no guarantees, no backup plan, and no easy way out. Just a belief that if they worked hard enough, they could figure it out.
Growth is the Point
For Grant, success has never been about chasing comfort. It’s about chasing growth.
Starting over in a new market without knowing if it would work
Building a business through red tape and near-burnout
Taking risks young, not because it’s easy, but because it’s worth it
"True happiness is more tied to progression than anything else."
Building with Purpose
Grant’s not just building a business. He’s building a culture. One where customer obsession matters, where excellence is expected, and where faith isn’t something you talk about, it’s something you live.
He’s seen it all: setbacks, pivots, near-drownings (literally), and breakthroughs. And through it all, his faith and focus have stayed strong.
