In this episode of Business Blueprints, Bryan sits down with Mike Lucas of Revive Flooring & Paint to talk about launching a new business, scaling smart, and learning from years of experience in construction.
Mike shares how his six years running the construction arm of CityLife gave him the foundation—and confidence—to start his own company. He talks about the challenges of building systems from scratch, hiring the right people early, and finding that balance between taking on work to stay busy and staying true to your niche.
Bryan and Mike dive deep into leadership lessons, growing through chaos, and why building strong relationships—with subs, clients, and mentors—will always outlast quick wins. They also touch on burnout, culture, and the mindset shifts that separate steady growth from survival mode.
