In this episode, I sit down with Kevin from St. Louis Epoxy Pourers, a business owner in year three of his journey. Kevin shares how he went from being a solo operator to building systems, bringing on a VA, and hiring his first experienced technician. We dive deep into the challenges of moving from “owner on the tools” to true business leader, why every epoxy crew needs a lead tech and an apprentice, and how a piece-rate pay model can unlock scalability and prevent burnout.

You’ll hear us break down hiring strategy, the importance of defining your company’s “recipe,” and how to structure pay so your team is incentivized and your margins stay strong. If you’re stuck in the trap of doing everything yourself, this episode will give you a framework to finally step back and run your business instead of working in it.
