What does it really take to grow an award-winning steel business while raising a young family and keeping your team motivated on site? In part two of our chat with Matt from Built Structural, we dig into the unglamorous decisions, hiring calls, and mindset shifts behind the highlights reel.

If you missed part one, jump back to last week’s episode first – then come back here as we unpack mentors, mistakes, team culture and what truly separates Built Structural in a crowded market.

Matt shares how he’s used mentors and advisors to make better decisions, why timing your hires is so crucial (and so hard), and how they’ve built a culture where people feel appreciated, supported and aligned to the bigger picture. We also talk through awards, recognition and why the application process itself can be a powerful way to reflect on how far you’ve come.

On the home front, Matt opens up about juggling business growth with renovating, building, and raising two young daughters – and why looking after your health (and having the right support at home) is key if you want to stay in the game long term.
