Brian Elias is the Chief Imagination Officer at Refloor, America's most trusted flooring company. He is also the Founder and CEO of Credit Card Rate Lending by Hunter Financial (CCRL) and the President of DontGo.com, a lead generation company. With over 25 years of experience in the home improvement industry, Brian has received the Legends of the Home Improvement Industry Award and the Remodeling Big50 Award. In 1988, he founded 1-800 Hansons, growing it from door-to-door sales into a nationally recognized $80 million home improvement company before selling it to private equity in 2017.  In this episode: Managing a business can be overwhelming, especially when it feels like everything depends on you. Entrepreneurs often struggle to reach the next stage of growth because they lack clear processes, don't hire the right people, and find themselves constantly putting out fires. How can business owners build a company that functions without their constant involvement? Seasoned entrepreneur Brian Elias has systemized and scaled multimillion-dollar companies. He emphasizes the importance of hiring employees who align with core values, implementing clear processes that eliminate guesswork, and structuring an organization so leaders can delegate effectively. Brian's businesses have thrived through his focus on well-defined missions, building a strong team culture, and strategic leadership — allowing him to remove himself from day-to-day operations while still driving growth. In this episode of Systems Simplified, Adi Klevit talks with Brian Elias, the Chief Imagination Officer at Refloor, about building a scalable, self-sufficient company. He shares lessons from building his first company, how to systemize your business, and his first foray into sales.

Mark Henson, Chief Imagination Officer of sparkspace, joins us for an entertaining and equally deep conversation on leadership and mental health.

Growing up in a family of entrepreneurs in the relatively small community of the U.S. Virgin Islands taught Pia Larson how to sell products and services from a young age. “I knew that I could control my destiny and make as much money as I wanted from as far back as I could remember,” explains Pia. That still holds true today, as Pia is now Chief Imagination Officer of Fingerprint Marketing. Find out how Pia’s childhood ambitions led to a corporate career that eventually brought her back to her entrepreneurial roots in this installment of Today’s Business Leaders. Finding Her Way Pia worked in corporate jobs for 15 years and just couldn’t stand it. She wasn’t afforded the opportunity to be creative and innovative in her work, and it wore on her. After being laid off, Pia fully intended to get another corporate gig but ended up doing work for some of her old clients. This eye-opening experience taught Pia about the value of trust. Pia learned on the fly and taught herself everything from graphic design to social media marketing in order to best serve her growing client list. Living the Dream Pia’s favorite thing to do is help clients dream. As a naturally creative individual, Pia shares her vision with clients to help them understand what is possible. Incidentally, while her clients are all great at what they do, many are not creative. By introducing this new perspective, Pia helps her clients to dream big and take their business further. All of this is possible because of trust. Pia explains, “Trust is what helped me grow the business and trust in my team and provide trust to my clients.” Her initial clients came to her because of trust, and they stayed with her and recommended her business because of this trust.
