In this episode, we sit down with fellow builder and business owner Brian Gaudiano of Omega Building Company. The guys talk about everything from the difference between private and public builds to why you take on bonds. We also hear from Brian about what matters most in his life and how adjustments are KEY when owning a business. When Brian founded Omega he was motivated to build on the core values he holds close in his life. Honesty, integrity, building others up and always doing the right thing.
