Most shop owners want to grow. Very few know how. And almost none realize that the moment you create real systems in your business is the moment you create real freedom.
Tanor Banks sits down in person at SEMA with Austin Smith, the founder of the legendary brand Paint Is Dead, co owner of 201 Wrap, creator of the PID Pro Series tool line and one of the most respected voices in the wrap world. Austin shares how systems took him from burnout to balance, from doing everything himself to building businesses that run with clarity and structure.
If you have ever felt overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure how to grow without losing your mind, this conversation will change the way you think about your shop.
What You Will Learn in This Episode:
• Why systems are the foundation of any shop that wants to scale
• How to build structure even when you are a one or two person team
• Why Trello became the backbone of Austin’s entire workflow
• How systems reduce stress, prevent mistakes, and protect your time
• The right way to assign responsibilities so no one can say “I didn’t know”
• How check outs, daily rhythms, and clear columns keep your team aligned
• Why expectations with customers matter more than anything else
• The two tier showroom display that solves 90 percent of customer confusion
• How to expand into PPF, tint and coatings without losing your standard
• The real mindset shift that separates stuck owners from growing owners
Key Mindset:
Systems are not paperwork. They are freedom. The more structure you build, the more your shop can grow and the more your life can breathe.
Your future shop depends on what you build today. Start small. Start simple. Start now.
