In this episode of Monkey Business Radio, we sit down with Scott Wellington—longtime customer turned proud owner of Southeast Gutter Monkeys, the newest franchise in the American Gutter Monkeys network.

Scott opens up about why he and his family made the leap into business ownership and what stood out most wasn’t the startup kit, the tools, or the branding—it was the culture. From day one, what mattered most to Scott was how people were treated. The respect for employees, the trust built with customers, and the tight-knit, family-driven approach made AGM feel less like a franchise and more like a team.

We also explore what it means when team members stick around for a decade or more—and how that kind of loyalty reflects deeper values. Scott shares how the systems and training helped him avoid the usual startup stumbles, and why having a clear roadmap allowed him to focus on growing his business with confidence.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to build something meaningful with your family, work with purpose, and launch with real support behind you—this episode is for you.
