Jason Phillips: Hello, contractors. I'm so glad you're with us today. I have someone very special here with me in my office studio today with you, and I can't wait for you to meet him. We've got some great stuff we're going to talk about. I want to introduce you to, right now, Jason Humrichous from the great [00:01:00] state of...

Indiana. 

 Hey Jason, welcome. 

Jason Humrichous: Thanks. Thanks for inviting me to Dallas. 

Jason Phillips: I'm honored that you're here. I'm glad you made the trek. 

Jason Humrichous: Yeah, no, great flight and easy, 

Jason Phillips: man you guys, I love following you on social media and all the great stuff, all the great stuff that you're doing both at work and outside of work.

Jason Humrichous: Yeah. 

Jason Phillips: Man tell everybody a little bit about, who's Jason. Okay. You're you're not me. And tell us a little about yourself. 

We'll make that confusing. Try not to. So yeah my wife and I, we have six kids. High school all the way through college. We just had two graduate from college this year, and so that's a pretty big deal.

And one's going to continue to go on to school and then one's going to be starting her career as in the ministry in essence with Youth for Christ, so pretty excited about that. Started painting in middle school studied for the ministry. Actually worked at a couple different churches in the late 1990s, early 2000s.

Didn't know what to do after I resigned as a children's [00:02:00] pastor at a church. Ended up starting, going back into painting. I'm like if I don't know, I don't know what to do, Lord. And I begin to pray, what do you want me to do? And ended up starting a painting company. Just pulling out signs that from the high school days and started getting business.

And, did that for a while and then went to work for a contractor in the custom home business in Indianapolis area. In 2009, ended up leaving that company and starting Heritage Custom Painting. The mother company is Heritage Homes and Restorations, but Heritage Custom Painting is what we're doing business as.

In 2009, just continued to just work through the economy the best I could. Was on the job site, but then grew through in 2012, pulled myself off the job site. And in 2018, I began to see that I... wasn't able to do what I wanted to do, and I was understanding that I was the bottleneck, I was the problem in our company, and I had to fix that bottleneck.

And so in 2019 a [00:03:00] friend of mine, Jason Finney, another Jason, we'll just add that to the confusion Jason Finney and I, we connected at a local paint store and became good friends. And in May 1st of 2019, we sat down at a local pizza joint called Pizza King, and I have a joke that we say, All good decisions happen at Pizza King.

Pizza Kings are all through Indianapolis or Indiana area, but anyhow, we sat down and we began to figure out, I like what you do, and he likes what I do, and how can we serve together. And in 2019, May 1st, we joined our forces and continued to just grow Heritage Custom...
