On this latest podcast episode, we're stoked to bring you someone who has had a passion for carpentry since he was a young boy. For those who don't know, this person has been playing with tools since he was 2 years old!

It's our pleasure to introduce you to Nick Schiffer, of NS Builders! He is also an author, brand ambassador for Fine Home Building Magazine, and an influencer on Instagram.

If Instagram went away tomorrow, would you still be good?

"Yes."

What about Facebook? What if it went away tomorrow, would your business still be good?

"Yes."

I asked these questions to Ryaan Tuttle (@rjtcarpentryandtile) of RJT Carpentry and Tile and he remarked that his business would stay fine without social media. He explained further that it's possible for social media to go away, because 90% of his business comes through his website and SEO (Search Engine Optimization).

Ryaan is on fire, and he's sharing his story on this podcast. Get ready to be inspired, and motivated in your own business, as you listen to this show!

Kyle went to college and followed his father's footsteps in Computer Science. Later on, he shifted his career to home building, and remodeling. Then, he refined his focus to Post-Frame Construction. 

Since Kyle comes from a small town where everybody knows one another, spreading the word about his company, Rural Renovators was fairly quick and easy.

In this episode, Kyle shares with us on how he grew his post frame construction business and how he has decided to pursue his passion rather than money.

Zachary Dettmore has never wavered from his childhood goal of running his own construction business.

At age 13, he started his education at the Shelter Institute, learning the basics of timber framing and home construction.

From there, Zack landed a job and worked his way up from laborer to supervisor for a general contractor who taught him the fundamentals of all phases of residential and commercial remodels.

Check out his story here! 

Do you want to have just a GOOD business?

Or do you want to have a GREAT business?

That is a question many contractors ask themselves at some point or another.

I was intrigued by this concept, so I asked Katie Kath how she did it.

In this episode, she shared her stories, including the ups and downs, of how they redefined their brand, and focused on becoming the “great” company that they now are.

Dig in, and learn exactly what it takes to go from good to great in this episode!

Andy Moore from Modern Oak Construction got his start like most everyone else in the residential contractor industry. He dug holes, and swept floors and worked his way up.

And now he is the owner of a building firm, and gets to do what he loves everyday.

For a long time, fear was holding him back from asking investors to partner with him in the spec house market. But he overcame his fears, and asked them...

Now he gets to do what he only dreamed of a few short years ago.

Listen to his story, and be inspired today!

Let's face it. You should be building your personal brand.

Yes, It's important to build your company's brand... but it's just as important that you be building your personal brand at the same time.

John Hourihan (@heresjohnnyrcb) did this very well through LinkedIn and other channels, and it landed him some very amazing opportunities.

Maybe you've wondered how people like John get to be published in trade magazines?

Well, it's by taking the time to lay the groundwork and build your personal brand.

This show is one you definitely don't want to miss!

If you think your website and SEO aren't important, then you need to hear this $1,000,000 story.

Timothy Roman always dreamed of one day leading his own self-made, exceptional, and successful company. A child immigrant from Russia whose young life might have seemed to others to come precariously close to dead-ending in drugs, parties, academic failure, a chaotic lifestyle, and ultimately, jail, Tim never doubted that one day he would do incredible things.

Where others might have been defeated by struggle, and the difficulties and disappointments of their nascent careers, Tim chose instead to harness the power of the lessons learned from his tumultuous youth and trying early days as a young professional as unique fuel for creating a world-class, ground-breaking business model that continues to generate over a million dollars a year.

In this interview you will learn how he used nothing but his website and SEO to grow his Kitchen & Bath Remodeling company to $1,000,000/yr. In less than 3 years. 

In this show, Morgan Molitor from Construction 2 Style tells how she and her husband grew their home improvement business by blogging.

They have an incredible story of how they started their husband/wife team and business partnership.

Morgan doesn’t spare information either. You will get to know their inside secrets of how they use Pinterest, Instagram, and social media to get quality leads, and grow their business.

If you are, even a tiny bit curious about social media, you will love this show!
