What is up everybody? Welcome back to another episode of Coffee & Grit where this week I am sitting down with Brandon Miller, founder of Inspired by Design Painting in Brighton, Michigan. This conversation gets into something every entrepreneur eventually has to face.

Are you building a job or are you building something that lasts?

Brandon’s story started pretty humbly. Picture a power washer, a ladder sticking out of the trunk of an old Malibu, and one guy grinding it out washing six houses a day while trying to figure out how to build a real business.

Fast forward to today and Brandon is building a company with a clear vision. He wants Inspired by Design to become Brighton’s painter for the next hundred years.

But this conversation goes way deeper than painting.

We talk about ownership versus victim mentality, the mindset shift that changes everything in business, why leadership starts with how you see people, and how something as simple as showing up on social media can completely change the trajectory of a company.

We also get into the idea of the Reticular Activation System and how what you focus on determines the opportunities you start to see.

At the end of the day the lesson is simple. Stop blaming. Start building!

There are some incredible stories in this episode about entrepreneurship, faith, service, and the moments where you realize the opportunities around you were there the whole time. You just had to learn how to see them.

Alright lets get into it.
