## Resource

In this episode, we sit down with Robert Toro , President of the Woburn City Council and owner of Toro Construction, to talk about his journey from spending 15 years as a federal investigator to building a multi-million-dollar residential remodeling company. Robert shares what it was like starting a business while working a full-time federal job, the lessons he learned scaling quickly, how he built a team and company culture, and the biggest mistakes contractors and homeowners make during renovations. We also dive into leadership, hiring, handling difficult clients, balancing business ownership with public service and family life, and what finally gave him the confidence to leave the security of his government career.
