How does one man grow a business that he started with just $700 into a business that

now generates over $300 million in annual sales?

On today's show, our Canadian brother from another mother, Brian Scutimore shares with

us how he founded and successfully scaled 1-800-GOT-JUNK, wow, one day painting.

You've moved me and Shack-Shine.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's my pleasure to introduce to you, Mr. Brian Scutimore.

Some shows don't need a celebrity narrator to introduce the show, but this show dies.

Two men, eight kids co-created by two different women, 13 multi-million dollar businesses, ladies

and gentlemen. Welcome to the Thrive Time Show.

Yes, yes, yes, and Thrive Nation on today's show. We have an incredible guest. This guy is

the CEO of the O2E Brands, the parent company of 1-800-GOT-JUNK. Wow, one day painting.

I said, wow, one day painting. You move me and Shack-Shine. Ladies and gentlemen, the man,

the myth, the legend. Mr. Brian Scutimore, welcome on to the Thrive Time Show. How are you,

sir?

Well, I don't need any more coffee. Thank you, Clay. That is quite the introduction and

thank you, Jenner. Thank you so much for having me on your show.

Well, I'm excited to have you on the show. My partner and friend, Jonathan Barnett has

built a major, very successful franchise in oxyfresh, carpet cleaning, and we're always

here in the praise reports of how great your brands are doing. I'd like to start at the

bottom if we can here. When did you get the idea to first start 1-800-GOT-JUNK?

I was in a McDonald's drive-thru of all places. There I was, a beat-up old pickup truck
