In this episode, host Daniel Honan, CPA and former painting business owner, sits down with Knut Olsen, the owner of Cascade Ridge Painting in Washington. Knut shares his incredible journey from working a "boring desk job" to building a thriving painting business that’s on track to hit $600,000 in revenue this year, all in just four years!

🔹 Key Takeaways:
-How Knut transitioned from a 9-to-5 job to entrepreneurship with zero painting experience.
-The lead generation strategies that work best for his business (hint: Google LSA is a game-changer!).
-Why subcontractors have been crucial to his success, and how he manages them effectively.
-The importance of seasonal planning and budgeting for painting businesses.
-Tips for scaling your business without burning out.
