The Conscious Builder Show with Casey Grey

Mortgage broker and real estate finance expert Chad Robinson joins Casey for an interview to discuss post-Covid financing and his private investment corporation.

Casey joined Emily Mottram on her podcast, E3 - Energy and Efficiency with Emily. He talks about creating The Conscious Builder, which is so much more than a building company. As we continue to push the industry forward, our self awareness is critical. Casey talks about living a conscious life, building a better way, and raising everyones awareness.

Architect Jane Wilson and our client Kim join Casey in a conversation and presentation on our current Net Zero Build. To take a look at the progression of the floor plans and site plan and an update on its current status, you can find the full video on our Youtube channel at The Conscious Builder Inc.

The Conscious Builder recently celebrated 10 years as a business! Here are the top 3 things I have learned in the first ten years of our construction business.

Casey is joined by Christine Williamson, creator of the popular Instagram page @BuildingScienceFightClub, an educational project that teaches architects about building science and construction. They discuss why building assemblies is important, finding the sweet spot for owners, the true meaning of "green", and how Christine's popular Instagram page came to be.

Christine Williamson has spent her career in building science forensics, discovering why buildings fail, and working with owners, architects, and builders to remedy the problems. Her new construction consulting helps architects use building science not only to mitigate risk of failure, but also to help them make their projects as energy efficient as they are beautiful.

She graduated from Princeton University and studied at Boston Architectural College before completing her Master's of Architecture at NewSchool of Architecture + Design. She is the chair of ASHRAE Technical Committee 1.12, Moisture Management in Buildings.

Casey Grey interviews Vish Chatterji, The Business Casual Yogi, where they discuss the intersection of yoga and the construction business. Learn more about Vish's book and how mindfulness, meditation, and yoga have impacted both their personal and professional lives.

Throughout his 20-years in Corporate America, Vish studied and practiced yoga, meditation and Ayurveda as a way to stay balanced as a leader. He now coaches business leaders in this East-meets-West approach to help more of their greatness show up at work.

Jennifer Lynn Walker, founder of Jolly Green homes and a 28 year green enthusiast joins Casey for this week's live interview. She is deeply committed to healthy living, alternative green ways of renovating, and recommending eco-friendly resources and products.

In this interview we talk about how Jennifer's local market has been affected by the pandemic, green real estate, why now is the time to renovate and not sell, and her plans to turn her own garage into an apartment.

Jason Burggraaf joins Casey Grey for a conversation about intensification, 613 Flats, Pre-Fab and Energy Evolution. Jason graduated from Political Science here in Ottawa at Carleton University. He worked for the Canadian Home Builders Association for 15 years before joining the Greater Ottawa Home Builders association as the Executive Director, in 2018, where he spends the majority of his time reviewing city policy/bylaws, meeting with members and crafting submissions to City Committees and staff.

Brandon Fong, speaker and transformational coach, joins Casey Grey this week for a discussion on the habits we are creating during this new reality.

As this global pandemic has reminded us, change is inevitable. Nature is always changing and flowing and as humans it's easy to get stuck. But we don't have to stay there - we get to decide.

Whether it's building a home, a business or a life, mindset is everything and working our mindset is just as important as working our muscles at the gym.

In this interview, Brandon Fong joins Casey Grey to explore the impact of our decisions and choices, specifically what we are bringing into our awareness. As we are living through a unique period of our lives we must dig deep to keep going and focus on growth rather than retracting.

At 26 years old, Brandon Fong was diagnosed with brain cancer and his life was completely changed. Brandon quickly realized how important and fragile life is, and this diagnosis ended up serving as a catalyst to completely change his life for the better. Learn more about his story and how he found strength from within to find internal peace.
