In this in-person edition, Spencer and Danielle reflect on a whiplash year for residential construction—why demand cooled after the post-2020 boom, how “zero-click” AI search is changing lead flow, and what “buy the dip” looks like inside a remodeling business. They get candid about leadership in hard seasons (ego, echoes, and consistency), share how open-book metrics and simple weekly actions keep teams moving, and give a peek at Builder Funnel’s 2026 annual planning playbook. Practical, honest, and geared to help you finish 2025 strong and reset for 2026.
