In episode 106 of ZK Live, Zach interviews Joshua Radigan of Just Write Painting. Joshua started his business four years ago after painting since age 17, learning via YouTube and on-the-job experience. Frustrated by limited growth at $15/hour, he went solo, initially struggling with business management and low-budget clients from HomeAdvisor. Now employing one full-time and one part-time worker, he focuses on detailed estimates and high-end finishes, aiming to scale by training young, eager hires.Zach discusses the painting industry’s lack of professional businesses, driving unprepared entrepreneurs to start companies. His ZKFS app and courses aim to teach business, sales, and technical skills, with AI tools for estimates, bookkeeping, and a moderated forum for reliable advice. Joshua plans to use premium products like Fine Paints and target quality projects. Both emphasize learning from mistakes, building systems, and professionalizing the trade through education and community.
