Real coaching. Real transformations. Delivered live, for your team, your dealers, or your event.
Scott Lollar and Rick Holtz have spent a combined 60+ years running and coaching painting and trade businesses. Bring one of them in to speak, and your audience walks away with something they can use Monday morning... not another hour of theory.
We're not professional speakers looking for a paycheck. We're coaches who work inside contracting businesses every day... and we bring that directly to your audience.
Every topic comes from work we've actually done inside contracting businesses... not a slide deck built by a marketing team who's never run a crew.
Tell us how much time you have and who's in the room. We'll shape the session to fit... whether that's a 30-minute lunch-and-learn or a full-day workshop.
We're not in this to make money on speaking fees. We just want to cover our travel and bring value to your audience. That's the whole model.
Book either speaker individually, or bring both in for a combined session that covers more ground.
Scott has spent 35 years in the painting industry, helping contractors scale their companies... and just as importantly, their personal income. He's the host of the Beyond the Brush Podcast, has been published in APC Magazine and InPaint Magazine, and is a sought-after thought leader on using data and KPIs to manage and grow a business. Scott co-created the Painting Business Pro Commercial Course with Eric Barstow, which has helped hundreds of residential contractors successfully add commercial work without getting crushed by it.
Rick is a third-generation owner of H.J. Holtz & Son Painting, Wallpapering, Carpentry and Decorative Finishes in Richmond, Virginia. Over his 30+ years with the company, 18 of them as president, he's grown annual revenue from $360,000 in 1995 to more than $6 million, leading a year-round team of 60+ employees. Rick joined C4C as a coach in 2023, and his passion is helping owners discover the best path to scaling their company into multimillion-dollar revenue while building an internal leadership team that shares in the responsibility, and the success.
You don't need to know exactly what you want going in. Give us the time, size, and setting, and we'll tailor a session around it.
30 to 90 minutes. Best for pro shows, trade events, dealer meetings, or a single focused topic your audience needs right now.
A deeper working session for a smaller group... more time for real Q&A and working through your specific challenges together.
Multi-week Zoom sessions for a group or email list... great for a "top things to fix this year" style series delivered over time.
Audience, size, location, and how much time you have. Book a quick call and we'll talk it through.
We'll recommend a topic and format that fits the room... and confirm it with you before the date is locked in.
Your audience gets real, usable content. We get to share what we do. Everybody wins.
We're here to add value and meet good people. That keeps the cost low... and the content honest.
If we're already in your area, or the event is local to one of our speakers, there's no fee at all. Just cover any materials if requested.
A flat fee to cover flights, hotel, and ground transportation. This isn't a speaking fee... it's simply what it costs to get us there.
"In 4 months, my business went from growing and not being profitable to growing faster and being profitable."
"Scott has helped us grow out of the difficult $750K to $1M valley to a more manageable $1.5 to $2M size. With consistent support, we hit our targets."
Tell us about your audience and timeline. We'll help you figure out the right topic and format... no pressure, no obligation.
We typically respond within one business day.
