In this episode, we sit down with one of the most switched-on young builders we’ve come across — Jayden Martello, founder of JMar Building Co.

At just 28, Jayden is setting a new benchmark in the industry — not just for the quality of his work, but for his leadership, honesty, and drive to do things the right way. From his early obsession with construction after watching his family home get extended, to launching his own building company, Jayden shares the highs, the mistakes, and the moments of growth that have shaped him.

We talk about:

• The job that changed everything for him
• Learning to lead trades and build trust with clients
• The value of systems and processes (and why he finally ditched pen and paper quoting)
• Why asking questions is a builder’s superpower
• Doing the hard inner work to grow — both as a business and a person

Jayden’s story is one every young builder should hear — and a reminder that humility, curiosity, and consistency are what truly make a good builder.
