Garage Door Heroes with Special Guest
Matt Kuehlhorn

True resilience is forged in the grind of building something from nothing.

In this episode of Garage Door Heroes, Robb Leishman sits down with Matt Kuehlhorn, the founder of Cooler Garage Doors, to talk about resilience, focus, and what it takes to build a thriving business from the ground up.

Matt’s story is one of grit and determination—he went bankrupt, started over with painting jobs, and eventually grew Cooler into a trusted garage door brand. From navigating tiny mountain markets to leading in larger hubs, Matt shares how he used smart branding, intentional marketing, and relentless focus to turn challenges into opportunities.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How Matt rebuilt after bankruptcy and turned a small-town startup into a growth-driven company
• Why focusing on residential service and repair is the key to long-term profitability
• The power of branding and marketing—tailoring your message for TV, social media, and community trust
• How to overcome “shiny object syndrome” and double down on what truly works
• Matt’s mindset strategies: daily visualization, intentional habits, and crafting a life beyond business
• Practical advice for defining your sales process so you can stand out, build trust, and charge premium prices

Matt also dives into his Cooler Lifestyle Podcast—where he highlights health, community, and stories that go beyond garage doors—showing how business success can ripple out into every part of life.
