Ep. 258: Building Culture Through Strategic Downtime — The CHP Paint Co. Story
Wednesday, 14 January, 2026
Eric McDonald built CHP Paint Co.'s culture on a simple principle: you can't out-produce bad culture. After experiencing severe burnout in 2021, he made drastic changes—4-day work weeks, comprehensive benefits, employee recognition programs, and a two-week December shutdown. The results?
