The Real Build

In this episode of The Real Build, I sat down with Vinnie Candelore, the creative director at 1 Team Media and owner of VC2 Art. Vinnie specializes in a wide range of artistic mediums, including paintings, custom shoes, art prints, and murals. He also hosts The Athletic Aesthetic Podcast, where art and sports connect through engaging conversations.

Vinnie grew up working from a young age, and after trying out different jobs, he never found something he truly loved. However, as a child, Vinnie always had a passion for drawing and painting. After walking away from a job, he decided to fully commit to his true passion—painting—and the rest is history.

Today, Vinnie paints portraits of some of the top athletes in various sports and designs custom shoes for many of them. He has also become a major contributor to the growth of 1 Team Media in Pittsburgh, PA.

Vinnie and I discussed several topics, including:

In this episode of The Real Build, I sat down with my former high school football coach, friend, and mentor Coach Chris Metzger. Coach Metzger made a huge impact on my life growing up. He not only coached me in football but also instilled in me the values of hard work, discipline, and perseverance that have carried me throughout my life and career. His Leadership on and off the field helped shape the person I am today, and I’m honored to share our conversation, where we discuss the lessons learned on the gridiron, the importance of mentorship, and how faith in God has been a guiding force in both of our lives.

Some other topics we discussed were going from transactional to transitional in coaching. Metzger's 5 Pillars of Success: Leadership is biblical, how you do one thing is how you do all things, and you take ownership.

In this episode of The Real Build, I sat down with Daniel Wright, the owner of Proline Parking Lot Maintenance. Daniel and I have been friends for a couple of years now, having met through Top Contractor School. Daniel has experienced significant short-term growth and success with his business, and I was excited to have him on.

We discussed topics like working with your significant other and the positives and negatives of doing so. We also touched on being a role model for future generations and how to make blue-collar work appealing again.

Daniel isn’t in business just for the money—he’s driven to make a difference in people’s lives. He’s committed to helping his employees and others in the construction industry succeed in all aspects of life.

In this episode of The Real Build, I sat down with returning guest Ryan Austin to talk about how to overcome tough moments in life. As entrepreneurs, we experience a lot of ups and downs, balancing business, employees, family, and friends. The stress can be overwhelming, but there’s always a way to get back up when you're feeling down.

Ryan and I talked about the importance of taking mental breaks—whether it’s 10 minutes of prayer, meditation, or quiet time. These small breaks can help reset your mind. We also discussed the value of surrounding yourself with positive people. The right company can lift you up when you need it most. Lastly, we emphasized consistency—sticking with the habits that help you succeed, even when times are tough.

In this episode of The Real Build, I sat down with Andrew Finnefrock, a performance coach who shows YOU how to transform from surviving to thriving in your life & business.

After spending the majority of his life extremely insecure, full of self-doubt, and eventually almost dying from drug and alcohol withdrawals. Andrew has transformed his life into a life that many people told him was not possible. When people ask if he would go back and change his past; Andrew always says. “If it were up to me, I wouldn’t go back and change a thing.”

Known for being extremely passionate, articulate and providing a perspective that you’ve never heard, Andrew’s speaking and coaching are unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. He speaks and coaches from a place of experience, intensity,  and vulnerability.

In this episode of The Real Build, I sat down with Jonathon Hagarbome, the owner of Innovative Energy Inc., a company specializing in high-performance insulation products featuring energy-efficient radiant thermal technology.

Jonathon began his career with Bentley and Rolls-Royce at the age of 20, working as a Master Bentley and Rolls-Royce technician for 13 years. After reaching the pinnacle of the automotive industry, he sought new challenges and decided to start his own business. Jonathon and his wife, Whitney, sold everything they owned and moved from Naples, Florida, back to the family farm to embark on a new adventure. They started a coffee company, and as new opportunities arose, they bought a reflective insulation company in Texas and relocated it to their hometown of Crown Point. Six months later, they acquired another reflective insulation company and merged the two businesses.

In this episode, Jonathon also shares how he runs a successful business by keeping his employees top of mind. He discusses how he maintains peace of mind amidst the challenges of being an entrepreneur.

In this episode of The Real Build, I had the pleasure of sitting down with my friend Tre Tipton. Tre is an inspiring individual who serves as the Director of Business Development at 1Team Media, Co-Host of the Athletic Aesthetic Podcast, Host of Tred Talk, and Founder of LOVE (Living Out Victoriously Everyday). Tre shares his powerful story of overcoming immense adversity from a young age.

Tre's journey began as a Division 1 football player at the University of Pittsburgh, where he faced significant trials. During his freshman year, he battled deep depression and, in his darkest moments, attempted to take his own life multiple times. One night, standing on the edge of a bridge, Tre made a life-changing decision to turn his life around and never look back.

Despite these challenges, Tre's passion for football drove him to continue playing at a high level. However, tragedy struck again when a severe hit on the field left him with a collapsed lung, nearly taking his life. While in the hospital, Tre experienced a profound moment of clarity, hearing God’s voice urging him to get up and assuring him that his journey was far from over.

After several more years of battling injuries, Tre ultimately retired from football after a seven-year career. Today, he channels his experiences into helping other athletes overcome adversity, speaking, and leading within his community. Tre also dedicates his time to coaching young athletes through his 7-on-7 football camps, continuing to inspire the next generation.

In this episode of The Real Build, I sat down with Mat Earl, the co-owner of Keeneye Construction in Morgan, Utah. Mat specializes in new construction and remodeling projects. We talked extensively about building, but we really focused on the importance of taking care of clients and how Mat consistently goes above and beyond for every one of his clients. He mentioned that he's almost afraid not to help a client, even with a small detail, because, in his mind, the house will crumble if he doesn't. Mat is the definition of the ideal contractor.

Mat and I also discussed his role as a father and how he has always been there for his kids, no matter how busy his work schedule gets. We talked about building culture and a strong team in construction. We also touched on the future of construction and how there is so much opportunity for the younger generation right now.

He has made A1 Auto one of the top automotive companies in the area through his commitment to his clients, offering top service, and always giving back to the community. Kendall is a great friend and one of the most caring people I know.

We discussed Kendall's life and how growing up working on cars with his dad paved the way for his success today.

Kendall shared his insights on the transformative power of self-discovery and the journey to overcoming self-doubt. His story is a testament to the fact that there's always more out there for those who dare to seek it.

Always check on your employees/team members. They need to be great.
