In this episode of The Good Builder Podcast, we’re serving up a triple-header that blends business grit, regional wins, and some exciting news from TGB HQ.

First up, a sneak peek at this Friday’s episode with Kirstee from Goop Guys. What started as a humble cleaning business on the Sunshine Coast turned into a revolutionary product idea, and then a nightmare $80,000 product failure that could have ended it all. Instead, Kirstee and her husband Shane doubled down, fixed the formula, and built a 25-year franchise empire with national reach and international distributors. Their story is a masterclass in resilience, innovation, and building a business around the life you want.

Next, we head to South Australia’s Mid North for a $1 million housing boost in Port Pirie. Graycar Contractors have blown expectations out of the water, delivering more than double the housing lots required under Renewal SA’s Regional Housing Initiatives Program. With 10 key worker homes locked in and 42 new allotments, this project is set to strengthen the local workforce and supercharge the Balmoral Park Estate development — all in record time.

And finally, we’ve got two big announcements from The Good Builder:

• Our brand-new Video Offer for builders and suppliers who want their products or projects showcased in professional, on-site videos that get in front of thousands of industry eyes — without the boring corporate vibe.
• The soon-to-launch TGB Trade Directory, a national online hub where quality trades can connect with quality builders. Think of it as the matchmaking service the industry’s been crying out for — minus the awkward small talk.

Whether you’re here for the inspiration, the industry intel, or just a laugh at our analogies, this one’s packed with value.
