Build With AI or Get Buried: How Painters Get Ahead

About this episode

Mike Gore-Hickman discusses the impact of AI on the painting industry with entrepreneur Jason Paris, highlighting the advantages for early adopters.

AI is coming for accountants, lawyers, and every desk job first — but if you run a painting business, you might be holding the biggest advantage of your career. Mike sits down with entrepreneur Jason Paris to break down what AI agents actually mean for painting contractors — and why the painters who adopt now will leave everyone else behind. Real, in-the-field use cases: a custom sales proposal built in 5 minutes, a $10k website rebuilt for $3, AI before/after photos that win bids, and why the trades have the longest runway in the AI economy. It comes down to one choice: adapt, or get underbid. Want the systems we use to run Painter Growth? DM us "Playbook"
