In this episode, we talk with Chris Scoville, a 30-year veteran in contractor financing and founder of Improvifi, Inc.. He shares how financing isn’t just a backup plan—but the most powerful tool to close more deals, increase ticket size, and scale a contractor business. From real industry insights to proven strategies, Chris breaks down how contractors can turn financing into a competitive advantage and build long-term success.

In this episode, we sit down with Patrick Russell and Stacey Jordan of Red Sleigh Workshop, who share how holiday lighting and décor businesses can grow from small installer teams into scalable, profitable operations. Patrick dives into the operational systems behind successful companies—from sales and production to crew management and logistics—while Stacey brings over 20 years of industry experience working on large-scale décor programs for cities, malls, and resorts across the U.S., teaching installers how to land bigger jobs, price confidently, and turn seasonal hustle into real business growth. Together, they reveal the strategies that help lighting businesses level up and confidently step into the commercial market.
