Drew Farnese has built a reputation in business by doing the work others are not willing to do. On Episode 13 of The Relentless Podcast, Sam DeMaio sits down with Drew for an honest conversation about the grind of entrepreneurship, the importance of staying hungry, and the decisions that have shaped his career. Drew’s energy and authenticity make this one of the most engaging episodes in the series.
Drew Farnese’s Grind and Growth
Drew does not believe in shortcuts. He shares stories from the early days of his career — the long hours, the setbacks, and the moments where his persistence paid off. Sam connects with Drew’s work ethic, having built Showcase Remodels through the same kind of relentless grinding. Together, they paint a realistic picture of what it takes to go from zero to a thriving operation.
Staying Hungry When You Start to Succeed
One of the biggest risks of early success is complacency. Drew talks about how he keeps his edge — maintaining the same intensity and hunger that got him started even as his business grows. Sam and Drew agree that the most dangerous moment for any entrepreneur is when things start going well and the temptation to coast creeps in.
