In this value-packed episode, host Daniel Honan sits down with Josh Henry, a cabinet refinishing specialist who scaled his business to $1M+ in revenue with industry-leading 65% profit margins. Discover how niching down and strategic delegation transformed his operation from a one-man show into a powerhouse.

Key Takeaways You’ll Learn:

  • Why specializing in one service (like cabinet refinishing) beats being a "jack of all trades", and how it lets you charge premium prices
  • The exact profit margins Josh achieves (hint: top 1% of painting contractors) and how he maintains them
  • Team-building secrets: Why hiring specialists (not generalists) skyrockets efficiency and quality
  • Marketing that actually works: How Josh grew to $1M+ with almost zero advertising (just one powerful strategy)
  • When to hire a salesperson and how to structure their role for maximum impact

Josh shares his decade-long journey from starting with tub refinishing to dominating his local market, proving that deep expertise + disciplined systems = unstoppable growth.

Pro Tip: "Task delegation isn’t optional, you can’t scale if you ARE the business. Train your team, trust the process, and focus on what moves the needle."
