163. Prepare to Win | Scott Siegal
And there’s no one else I’d rather celebrate with than Brian Elias, my very first guest on The Wealthy Contractor Podcast and true industry trailblazer.
If you don’t know him, Brian is the founder of 1-800-HANSONS, which he grew into one of the largest home improvement companies in the country before selling to private equity. These days, he’s doing it all over again with Refloor—having already scaled to 15 markets across 12 states and selling 50+ jobs per day.
But this episode is about more than Brian’s incredible story. It’s about the mindset, marketing psychology, and hard-won lessons that build contractor confidence.
Listen in as Brian E. opens up about:
Why he’s getting back into face-to-face marketing in 2026 (and which channels he’s targeting)
The “Mom’s Problems” framework that will make your marketing convert
How you can “reduce to the ridiculous” to close more sales
The psychological triggers all your marketing messages need to hit
Where his confidence REALLY comes from (it’s not what you think)
…And why most contractors are “fishing with the wrong lure”
Whether you’re grinding to hit your first million or scaling past eight figures, this conversation will challenge how you think about marketing, leadership, and building the business (and life) you actually want.
