In this solo episode, Az flips the usual “business is war” narrative on its head and introduces a metaphor that builders, trades and suppliers will actually relate to, your business is a garden.

Inspired by a recent email from Ali Mamujee (The Moat), Az unpacks the powerful mindset shift builders need right now:

• Why rushing the harvest leads to burnout
• The importance of pruning — in your business and in life
• How to read the seasons of the construction market
• What it means to protect your ‘soil’ — your culture, your team, your reputation

With building approvals at decade lows and industry fatigue setting in, this is your reminder to step back, check the roots, and plant for the future.
