In this episode of the Relentless Growth Podcast, Chase Calhoun and Jack Maher dive into one of the biggest forces shaping the future of business, real estate, and everyday life: artificial intelligence.

They discuss how AI, automation, and robotics could transform the economy, housing market, construction industry, rental housing, entrepreneurship, and the future of work.

In this episode, they cover:

• How AI could impact housing demand and the rental market

In a world obsessed with hacks, shortcuts, and shiny opportunities, the real secret to success might surprise you: getting boring.

In this episode of the Relentless Growth Podcast, Chase Calhoun (Apex Professional Construction) and Jack Maher dive into why mastering the basics — and repeating them consistently — is the true driver of long-term growth in business, fitness, marriage, and life.

From eating the same meals every day to running structured EOS meetings week after week, they break down how discipline, repetition, and process create massive results over time. While flashy strategies and big moves get attention, it’s the “boring” fundamentals — tracking calories, sticking to workout routines, following business processes, and showing up daily — that compound into real success.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why consistency beats talent in entrepreneurship

• How EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) creates predictable business growth

• The connection between discipline and freedom

• Why most entrepreneurs fail (and how to avoid it)

• How small, simple habits compound positively — or negatively — over time

• Practical advice for building momentum without burning out

Whether you're building a construction company, scaling a business, improving your fitness, or strengthening your marriage, this episode will challenge you to embrace the fundamentals and commit to long-term consistency.

Because in the end, success isn’t sexy — it’s repetitive.

In this episode of the Relentless Growth Podcast, Chase Calhoun (Apex Professional Construction, Central Arkansas) and Jack Mayer (John Mayer Builders, Spring Hill, TN) break down exactly what to look for when buying infill lots for new construction rental properties and build-to-rent investments.

If you're a real estate investor, builder, or developer looking to build single-family or small multifamily rentals, this episode walks through the real-world due diligence steps that can make—or break—your deal.

Chase shares lessons learned from building infill new construction rental properties in Little Rock, including costly mistakes, zoning surprises, utility challenges, and how to properly underwrite a lot before you ever close on it.

• How to evaluate infill lots for build-to-rent projects

• Why clear title (and quiet title issues) can derail your investment

• Zoning research, duplex approvals, and setback requirements

• Utility availability: sewer, water, capacity issues & hidden infrastructure costs

• Why you must verify sewer depth (not just trust GIS maps)

• Street access problems and dead-end road surprises

• Hidden site costs: rock excavation, foundations left behind, septic tanks, cisterns & dump pits

• How lot slope, trees, and grading impact construction budgets

• Why you should always get city approvals in writing

• How to work backwards from rent projections to determine what a lot is actually worth

One of the biggest takeaways? Start with the end in mind. Before you buy a lot, know what you’re building, what it will rent for, what it will cost to construct—and then determine what you can realistically pay for the land.

Whether you're building your first rental property or scaling a build-to-rent portfolio, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you avoid expensive mistakes and make smarter investment decisions.

If you’re serious about real estate investing, new construction rentals, or developing infill properties, this is a must-listen episode.
