HEAVY HITTERS SHOW (Ep #2) W/ GUEST: WALKER PEARSON & CORBIN ALLEN

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 Deere.
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.

What is "Black Fatigue"? Trump Brings Down Drug Cost By 80% & More (Ep #978)

Clay Edwards Show - Monday, May 12th (Ep #978)
1- We’re breaking down President Trump’s massive executive order to cut prescription drug prices by 30-80% using a “Most Favored Nation” policy, forcing Big Pharma to match the lowest global r2-ates. Joined by [guest names], we’ll dig into how this could save Mississippians big money, rattle the pharmaceutical giants, and stir up the left.
2- Trump’s hitting the ground running, folks! In just 100 days, illegal crossings are at historic lows, and he’s calling Mexican cartels what they are—terrorists. This is what we voted for: a secure border and no more coddling criminals. Mississippians, are you proud or what? 
3- We discuss a new phrase that's gone viral over the last week called "Black fatigue" which describes the frustration, often voiced in conservative circles, over the perceived overuse of racial narratives or "woke" policies, which some argue exhausts constructive dialogue and fuels division.
4- A Rochester, MN, woman, Shiloh Hendrix, is caught on a viral video allegedly hurling racial slurs at a 5-year-old Black kid at a playground, and it’s blowing up! Rochester PD’s done digging and sent the case to prosecutors, but nobody knows if charges will stick. Hendrix claims the kid stole from her, then rakes in over $675,000 online for “protection,” while the NAACP pulls $341,000 for the kid’s family. The left’s screaming racism; the right’s yelling free speech or hoax.
