In this emotional and inspiring episode, we sit down with Brayden Harkness of Sandman Construction, a framer by trade who opens up about his journey through loss and the resilience he's built in both his personal and professional life. Brayden shares how the sudden death of his mentor, whom he almost partnered with, and the passing of his father after a nearly decade-long battle with cancer, reshaped his outlook on life and construction. With his loyal companion, Diablo—a Cane Corso and Bull Mastiff mix—by his side, Brayden reflects on how these pivotal moments gave him the strength to take his business into his own hands. Now, Brayden embraces his construction career as a testament to moving forward and building on his own terms.
