About Conquer Contractor Chaos
Conquer Contractor Chaos is the podcast for cabinet shop owners, closet companies, millwork shops, general contractors and renovators who want a business that runs without them. If you’re stuck on the tools, working nights on paperwork, and growing revenue without growing profit, this show is for you. Your host is Lee Thomas Miller, a business coach for cabinet shops, closet companies and contractors, and the founder of Brave Academy and Conquer Contractor Chaos. Lee coaches trades business owners doing $250K to $10M in revenue across Canada and the United States. Lee’s coaching comes from running real businesses, not consulting slides. He started as an apprentice commercial floor layer in the UK and went on to run crews on jobs up to £5M. In North America he was head of operations at You Move Me, growing it to $4.5M in revenue. He then bought into WOW 1 DAY PAINTING Metro Vancouver, part of the O2E Brands family alongside 1-800-GOT-JUNK, and took it from $140K in debt to $3.25M in revenue at 56% gross and 20%+ net margins before exiting in 2021. Before founding Brave Academy, Lee was head profit coach at Cabinet Maker Profit System, working with cabinet and millwork shop owners across North America. Today he has coached 150+ trades businesses, and more than 170 shop owners are part of his free and pro Skool communities. Every episode gives you one move you can use right away. Topics include: • Pricing, markup vs margin, and hitting 50% gross margins • Job costing and knowing your numbers on every job • Hiring, onboarding and training a crew, including green and Gen Z hires • Getting off the tools and buying back your time • Sales, referral partners and lead generation that doesn’t depend on paid ads • Shop systems, production flow and efficiency • Building a business that could run, or sell, without you You’ll also hear real cabinet makers and closet company owners share the numbers behind their growth, like Dean Rovedo of Platinum Woodworking (72% revenue growth on half the jobs), Phil Blumberg of Perris Woodworks, Matthew Pierce of Matthew James Co., and Laurent Pichette of Cutting Edge Construction, plus experts on hiring, money and AI for the trades. The coaching behind the show is built on one belief: systems over effort. Working harder isn’t the answer. Better systems for pricing, people and production are.
