Matt Gossett Franchisee of the Month
At Painter Bros, we celebrate leaders who combine vision, resilience, and execution and this month, Matt Gossett Embodies all three. With a background rooted in media, technology, and high-performance business environments, Matthas translated his corporate experience into entrepreneurial success, earning him the well-deserved title of Franchisee of the Month.
Before stepping into franchise ownership, Matt spent over a decade in media and advertising, working with major publishers like Warner Bros, Discovery, and most recently with ad tech and data company Samba TV. Operating in fast-paced, ever-evolving industries shaped his belief that business moves quickly and if you cannot move with it, you will get left behind. That perspective played a major role in his decision to invest in Painter Bros. For Matt, it was essential to align with a brand that was forward-thinking and innovative. After multiple conversations with leadership and seeing the long-term vision for the organization and its franchisees, he knew he was setting the right foundation. As he puts it, “Choosing the right brand is critical but ultimately, success comes down to personal execution.” From day one, Matt approached ownership with the mindset that no matter what challenges came his way, he was going to find a way to get it done.
That determination has already translated into major wins, including a recent big commercial repaint project for Equipment Depot amilestone that reflects both strategic growth and disciplined execution. Yetwhen asked what contributes most to his success, Matt doesn’t focus onindividual deals or external circumstances. Instead, he emphasizes mentality.Every day presents challenges, leads, subcontractors, client expectations. Hebelieves the greatest challenge is mastering your own mindset. It’s easy to complain,cast blame, or lose momentum. The harder and more rewarding path is choosing tostay positive, disciplined, and committed to steady progress. “Put one foot infront of the other” is more than advice he gives others; it’s the principle helives by. Every action compounds when building a business, and maintainingfocus through both high and low moments is what ultimately creates long-termresults.
Being part of a franchise system has also accelerated his growth. Matt values the structure and support that help eliminate common early-stage mistakes and provide a clearer path to scale. With systems being developed to open doors to larger commercial opportunities and an entire network of business owners rowing in the same direction, he sees tremendous potential in the collaborative power of the brand. But beyond revenue milestones and operational growth, what Matt enjoys most is the process of building something meaningful. He thrives on shaping the day-to-day operations, developing culture within his team, and seeing people who have bought into the vision from his estimator to his crews grow and succeed. Even the low moments serve a purpose, making the victories that much more rewarding. Matt’s journey is a testament to the power of vision paired with relentless execution, and his leadership continues to set a strong example for franchisees across the network.
Congratulations, Matt, on being named Franchisee of the Month.Your commitment to building, leading, and pushing forward inspires us all. 👏
