·39 min·3 clips

A rookie painting operator in Lunenburg has booked over $97,000 in sales by March 2nd.

The episode begins with host Chris Thompson introducing the Leaders of Tomorrow podcast and highlighting two top rookie operators: Callum Lawlor in painting with over $97,000 booked and Mihai Oboroc in window cleaning with $47,000 booked. Mihai shares that he learned organization and time management, which helped balance school, business, and personal life. Callum reveals that asking for help was a key lesson, overcoming ego from his academic background. Both guests discuss their prior experience: Callum painted with his grandfather and learned leadership in the program, while Mihai worked at CollegePro and adapted to new systems. They talk about the difficulty of the business, with Mihai finding it harder but more rewarding than expected, and Callum facing a sales slump that taught him to focus on controllable inputs. The host emphasizes distinguishing between areas of control and concern. Mihai overcame a tendency to quit after initial efforts by committing to consistency, and Callum overcame self-doubt to believe he could succeed. Transferable skills include persuasion and punctuality, with Mihai sharing a story about losing a client due to lateness. Key habits include punctuality, scheduling, and continuous improvement. The episode concludes with final thoughts on leadership, such as enduring bad days and taking ownership, and a promotion for campus interviews and applications to the program.
