Published on: 14th March, 2025

In this episode of Coffeez for Closers, we sit down with Chris Lee, entrepreneur, investor, and CEO of Next Level Pros. After scaling Solgen into one of the country’s largest solar companies and leading a nine-figure exit, Chris turned his focus to helping other business owners grow and scale with intention.

We talk about what it really takes to build a thriving company, why culture is the key to attracting top talent, and how he keeps faith, family, and personal growth at the center of it all. Chris also shares how his biggest failure—going bankrupt in 2011—became the foundation for his future success.

If you're looking for real, battle-tested business wisdom with a focus on long-term impact, this one's for you.
