Season 9, Episode 106: Guest: Brian Hess: Show Up At Your Best Every Day

“It’s impossible to wake up every day doing the right things and get the wrong results.” - Brian Hess

Building a foundation for an industry with many players takes commitment, integrity, and relentlessness–just three of many qualities that have enabled Brian Hess to build a 7-Figure company and forge enduring relationships with clients that are in the rankings to span decade(s).

Over his lifetime, Brian has devoted himself to focusing on the specificities of hard work. When it is time for his legacy to live on, those who know him will remember him as someone who has set the example for being exceptional in every aspect of their life. As CEO and President of The Pavement Group, Top Contractor School, and Host of The Perspective Podcast, Brian has proven that serving his clients and listeners using his unique data will pave the way for more industry icons to follow his lead. Brian leads an esteemed team of various skills with expertise in technology, marketing, production, sales, and of course, construction.

Brian’s definition of happiness is fulfillment and knowing one has made the difference they sought to make, which is mostly influenced by being a son, husband, father, and CEO. With an extensive understanding of leadership, oration, and his proprietary technology, Brian expertly navigates through all the processes he and his team have created to ensure success, avoid pitfalls and achieve the highest value for those he works with. Inspired by Brian’s example, his influence gives the perspective to those who have invested in his brand to take time to understand goals, be responsive and transparent in their communications, and earn trust. When two of Brian’s personnel achieved their goals of buying their first home, it allowed Brian to see that he and his team built something from scratch that enabled the American Dream to be possible for his people.

In a field that typically runs on fleeting transactions and minimal innovation, Brian has elevated the concept of tailor-made client service in developing a hallmark approach centered on personal attention, customized technology, education, and a mentor to a mentee revolving door for the utmost success.

Brian is a natural-born teacher as well as a natural-born student. He says, “It’s impossible to wake up every day doing the right things and get the wrong results,” and with the values, he has instilled in his team, family, and company doing the right things come naturally. From a young age, Brian has welcomed hard work, but the main lessons he has learned in life is never to give up, that knowledge is worth way more than money, that listening is the most important thing you can do, that time wasted is time you never get back, and to make the most out of every day. 

 In personal time, Brian enjoys spending time with his family and says that his favorite job is as a Father and Husband. Brian follows the diligence, love, and culture-building skills he learned from his greatest influences; his parents. He and his wife, Lori, have built a beautiful life with their four children, Paisley, Kingston, Quincy, and Preston, and Brian says he has never felt as loved as he does at the end of the workday when he walks into his house. For Brian Hess, there are no regrets, only results driven by a brand built on influence, determination, and finding the perspective uniquely to all the individuals with a goal to prosper.

In this episode, Jay and Brian discuss what it means to show up as your best every day and how they are both doing it with no questions asked.
