EP35 Saulius Bertulis From Lithuania to $1M Commercial Painting Co. with his Partner Eivydas Phillips
SUMMARY:
In this episode of DYB, Steve gets to chat with Saulius Bertulis; Co-Owner of Painters Inc. in Chicago.
Originally from Lithuania, Saulius immigrated to the United States to seek a better life.
Although he didn’t speak a word of English when he moved, Saulius took every opportunity he could find — eventually landing into the painting trade.
Eventually, Saulius worked up through the ranks of the first company he was working for before deciding to go off on his own.
Shortly after, Saulius teamed up with another colleague to form Painters Inc., which has grown to become a successful commercial painting company at $1.3MM in sales in 2018.
