In this episode of The Why We Build Podcast, host Greg Woleck sits down with Bailey Heather, Enrollment Manager at Remodelers Advantage, to explore the power of community in the remodeling industry.

Together, Greg and Bailey discuss what happens when remodelers stop trying to figure it all out alone and instead surround themselves with peers who understand their challenges. They unpack the ROI of joining a peer group, what the enrollment process looks like, and why vulnerability and collaboration are key ingredients to long-term success in remodeling leadership.

• Walk-up song: Something upbeat — J. Cole or Tupac to get hyped for sales calls.
• Dinner guests: Michelle Obama, Meryl Streep, and Tupac over steak frites and Caesar salad.

Bailey’s Advice for Remodelers

“Don’t just build projects — build processes. Projects will always be unique, but processes make your results predictable.”
