About this episode

This is the 2nd episode of our Work Series,  a three-part look at how painting companies are rethinking their organizational models.  What if the right model for your painting business wasn't W2 or subs - but both? That's been the answer for ACP Painting in Maricopa, Arizona for over twenty years. Co-owner Russ Byers and Inside Operations Manager Shell Abbott walk us through how they deploy two different kinds of teams under one roof - the decision-making framework, the financial tradeoffs, and the cultural dynamics that make it all work.
