Picture this: You've painstakingly finished a paint job only to realize your wallet is as empty as a freshly primed room. Fear not, for Torlando Hakes, paintpreneur extraordinaire, joins us to lay down the law of pricing it right. We zero in on the delicate dance of valuing our craft, teasing apart the threads of hourly rates and customer perceptions. Torlando shares tales of early underpricing woes and leads us to an epiphany—charge not for the time, but the value we bring. We also tackle the tricky business of managing a team's diverse skill set, ensuring every stroke of the brush is profitable. 

Now, let's talk values, but not the kind that jingle in your pocket—the core beliefs that set your business apart. We sift through customer reviews like a detective, pinpointing the values that shine brightest and making them our mantra. Cleanliness, punctuality, and communication aren't just nice-to-haves; they're the pillars upon which we build our teams, hire our crew, and grow our business without losing its soul. And because every great lesson has its roots, we take a nostalgic yet insightful detour through the hallways of middle school, reminiscing on the pressure to conform and the lasting lessons on maintaining one's unique business identity amidst a sea of sameness.
