  • 211. Price Driven Versus Value Driven When Building a Home

    In this episode of The Real Build, I wanted to discuss what you will see from a Value builder. I'm always searching for ways to add more value than the competition. Value is what you get for the overall price you pay. 

    How can I give my clients the most value as a custom builder?


    • Beginning stages - What do you offer?
    • It isn't always just what it is - Cost cutting - Meeting today with Licari - Where can the client cut the cost to get to their desired price? 
    • Your outside team - What does the builder offer that others don't
    • Experience - Sell the overall experience of the build itself
    • Hands-on approach - We've heard a lot of clients say they've been on their own with other builders
    • An organized system - We heard our process is better.
    • Family-owned and operated. Treat clients like family. 
    • Long-standing relationships with subs - We take care of them, and they take care of us.
    • Multiple sources of communication. Buildertrend
    • Honesty and integrity - We don't BS to avoid conflict. We take it head-on.
    • We learn from mistakes and improve.
    • Performance over profit - How can we perform to a higher standard and get the job done faster
    • We do things to make us stand out and be different. Show our good and bad on video.
    • We do a good job and make sure we don't leave mistakes untouched.
    • What's behind the walls? Is there something crooked they won't see? We don't care. We do it right. 
    • Forward thinking. What new things can we add to be better for the client?

    • 206. Be the Light in a Broken World: Embrace Leadership, Faith, and God's Bigger Plan for You - With Pastor Anthony Hart

      "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11


      In this episode of The Real Build, I had the privilege of sitting down with Pastor Anthony Hart, the Lead Pastor at Greenbrier Community Church in Virginia. Over the past couple of years, Anthony and I have developed a strong connection through our bible study group, Warriors For Christ, and I was thrilled to have him as a guest on the show.


      We dove deep into a conversation about actively incorporating our faith into our businesses, aligning our professional lives with God's purpose. Pastor Anthony shared powerful insights on the importance of keeping God at the center of our families and what it truly means to be the best husbands, fathers, and leaders in a world that often pulls us in different directions. We explored how we are all called to honor God by striving to be the best versions of ourselves in every aspect of life.


      One of the most impactful parts of our discussion was around the concept of being "leaders of leaders"—men and women who are called to lead with integrity and faith, especially in a world that is so often broken. Pastor Anthony emphasized the power of great leadership and our responsibility to influence others positively through our actions, words, and example.


      This episode is for anyone looking to integrate faith, family, and leadership in a meaningful way and be the light that God has called us to be.

      Don't sell fear; buy it!


      Where to invest your money.


      Turn off the market noise. Always listen to an advisor.

    • 204. Turning Passion into Legacy: How An Artist Blends Art, Sports, and Purpose - With Vinnie Candelore Of 1 Team Media

      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:


      • Why it's essential to pursue your true passion and find a job where you give back, not just take.
      • The perfectionist mindset.
      • Building a lasting legacy through the gift of art.

        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.
