What happens when two young entrepreneurs commit to becoming the best versions of themselves through structure, humility, and relentless effort?

In this episode of the Leaders of Tomorrow podcast, Chris Thomson sits down with Zach Weiler and Vincent D’Angelo, two returning operators in the Student Works Management Program. They reflect on their journeys from chaotic first seasons to running high-performing painting businesses—and the personal growth that fueled it.

You’ll hear Zach and Vincent unpack the mindset shifts that helped them mature into confident leaders, including how they approached their second and third years with a “rookie veteran” mentality, why they focused on inputs rather than outcomes, and how embracing mentorship and structure helped them thrive.
