On this month's entrepreneurial spotlight, Darren and Christina sit down with Caleb Bowers, President of Bowers Construction, to unpack how he went from being laid off, losing $70,000 in a single year, and driving a truck he couldn't afford… to building one of Atlantic Canada's most respected custom home brands.
If you're a business owner, aspiring entrepreneur, real estate investor, or custom home dreamer, this episode is a masterclass in:
-
Building a brand on craftsmanship, trust, and values
-
Choosing value over volume in a "race to the bottom" industry
-
Using Instagram and online reputation to attract dream clients
-
Balancing marriage, family, faith, and business
-
Playing the long game with development and legacy projects
By the end, you'll see exactly how integrity, long-term thinking, and genuine care for clients can build a business—and a legacy—that actually lasts.
