419: Building a Billion-Dollar Brand, Mike Stone on Leadership, Growth, and the Power of Core Values

Dave Lukas, The Misfit Entrepreneur_Breakthrough Entrepreneurship

This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Michael Stone. Mike is the President and CEO of CertaPro Painters, a billion-dollar company with over 370 franchise owners in over 500 territories across the US and Canada. You’ve no doubt heard of them.

Mike joined the company in 1999 as a sale associate and worked his way up to President and CEO. His story is one of the best examples of what can happen if you play the long game in your business. And that is one of the reasons I’ve him on – to not only share what he has learned along the journey, but to talk about how to build a long-term lasting company.
