On this episode of Construction Champions Manny Neves and Ron Nussbaum talk about how continued learning and reflection will help you grow as a business and person. You must always remember you are not in this alone and to use the industry!

About Manny

NOVELIST, MANUEL NEVES, A NATIVE OF PICO ISLAND IN THE AZORES, BORN IN TOURS, FRANCE, LIVES AS A PASSIONATE STORYTELLER, COMMITTED TO BRINGING TO LIFE THE STORIES OF HIS IMAGINATION. His family is from a small town called Madalena on the island of Pico; he went on to earn a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts from his schooling in Toronto. He would then enter the film and television industry, building up a ten-year career, which would allow him the honor of working on both TV series and feature films as a Technician and Commercial Director. Exploring his interest in other areas, he then transitioned to the field of construction, giving him the opportunity to play, yet again, a role in building towards a common goal with dedicated individuals, just as he did while serving in Fine Arts. This would allow him to form a successful construction business that would garner him over 140,000 social media followers, and lead him to create the most listened-to the podcast, covering the topic of construction. It was throughout this time, and while his imaginative nature continuously grew, that he would then come up with the idea for his first children’s book. it is Manuel’s hope that his stories will not only entertain, but above it all, expand imaginations, opening new worlds for each reader. Outside of this, in his free time, he enjoys music, cultures, food, traveling, and motorcycles. In the future, he hopes to be given the opportunity to build a house on the island of Pico, in the small town his family once called home.
