What's the one thing you wish would stop landing on your desk? For Andrew Chisena, it used to be everything. Customer issues, production problems, phone calls, constant interruptions.

Painting contractors, this one’s for you 👉 Peak season can make a business grow fast… but it can also expose the cracks. Margins get tighter, the team needs more direction, leads don’t always turn into the right jobs, and suddenly, everything is still running through the owner.

That’s why we’re proud to sponsor Paint Profits Live 2026, a free, one-day virtual event for painting business owners who want better systems, stronger teams, and more control over how the business runs.

Breakthrough Academy co-founder Danny Kerr will be speaking live alongside 20+ industry experts sharing what’s working right now in the painting industry.

📅 July 9, 2026
🕘 9:00 AM–6:00 PM EST
💻 Live Online
🎟️ Free
