E1 - Behind the Wraps: Marriage, Meltdowns & Million-Dollar Lessons

Most people see the highlight reel - the flashy cars, the booming shop, the awards. But they don’t see the futon. The 100-hour weeks. The egg dinners. The “what are we even doing?” moments.

In this very first episode of The WrapOps Podcast, married co-founders Andrew and Tanor Banks pull back the curtain on their chaotic, all-in journey. From buying a failing wrap shop (that turned out to be a front), to building Performance Wraps into one of America’s top small businesses. They’re not here to talk about the coolest cars or trendiest film — they’re here to help you build a wrap business that works for your life, not the other way around.

💡 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• How Andrew accidentally bought a fake business at 20 — and turned it into a real one

• What it’s like building a business and a marriage from the ground up

• The mistakes that nearly broke them — and the systems those mistakes inspired

• Why sleep-deprivation and burnout aren't badges of honor

• How they grew from zero systems to a million-dollar operation with 10+ staff

• What Tanor learned about stepping into leadership and finding her voice

🔁 TRY THIS:

• Document everything — from pre- and post-inspections to internal systems. It will save your sanity.

• If your shop feels like it’s falling apart, you’re not alone — this podcast is for you.

• Don’t wait to feel ready. Start messy, start tired, just start.

• If you’re the “partner in the background,” step up — your perspective matters more than you think.

• When something goes wrong, ask: “What part of this can we own — and systemize?”
