The Real Build

In this episode of The Real Build, my wife Liz and I sit down for a personal conversation about how my upbringing shaped who I am today.

We talk about growing up with my dad, always trying to earn his approval and make him proud, and how that drive followed me into adulthood. A lot of who I am today, both the good and the hard lessons, came from that season of my life.

What once felt like pressure has become fuel. I’ve learned how to channel it into leadership, discipline, and building something meaningful. That drive is a big part of why I continue to push forward and why we’re committed to growing R.K. Reiman Construction into the premier luxury home builder in the state of Florida.

This episode is about understanding where your drive comes from, learning how to use it the right way, and turning your past into purpose.

In this episode of The Real Build, I sat down with Scott and Stan Whitcomb of The Whitcomb Group to talk about real estate, leadership, and building a company the right way.

We got into how they’ve grown a successful real estate business by focusing on relationships, trust, and consistency, not just transactions. Scott and Stan shared what it’s like working together, how they stay aligned as leaders, and what it takes to build a strong team and culture that lasts.

This wasn’t about hype or shortcuts. It was a real conversation about doing good work, serving people well, and building something you’re proud of.

If you’re in real estate, running a business, or trying to grow without losing your values, this episode is worth a listen.

In this episode of The Real Build, I sat down with Jackson Lahmeyer to talk about faith, leadership, and what it looks like to build a business without letting fear drive your decisions.

Jackson is a pastor, the founder of Pastors for Trump, and someone who has been willing to stand firm in his beliefs even when it brings opposition. He’s also been involved at the national level through the White House Faith Council, but this conversation wasn’t about titles. It was about conviction and how faith shows up in the way you lead.

We talked about how when you run a business with faith, people know it. Not because you talk about it, but because of how you operate. We discussed leading from faith instead of fear, trusting the sound mind God gave you, and remembering that what we manage does not ultimately belong to us.

We also talked about the importance of being intentional, because without intention you end up drifting. We touched on opposition, criticism, and pressure, and why staying grounded matters when those moments come. The righteous may fall seven times, but they get back up, and that mindset applies just as much to business and leadership as it does to faith.

If you’re a business owner or leader trying to build something with purpose and conviction, this conversation is about staying rooted, leading well, and not losing yourself along the way.

In this episode of The Real Build, I sit down with our superintendents, Mason and Michael, to talk about the words and goals we are setting for the new year.

We dive into what we want to improve, what we want to build on, and how setting clear intentions helps drive focus, accountability, and growth both on the jobsite and in life. This is a real conversation about leadership, direction, and pushing ourselves to get better year after year.

If you are in construction, leading a team, or setting goals for the year ahead, this episode offers insight into how we approach growth and alignment as a team.

In this episode of The Real Build, our team sits down for an honest conversation about mistakes we’ve made along the way and the lessons we learned the hard way. There is no highlight reel here, just real stories from the field, the office, and the jobsite about decisions that didn’t go as planned and how they shaped who we are today.

We talk about accountability, growth, and why owning mistakes is a critical part of building better people, stronger teams, and better projects.

If you’re in construction, business, or just trying to improve at what you do, this episode is a reminder that mistakes aren’t failures unless you refuse to learn from them.

In this episode of The Real Build, I sit down with Dr. Noah St. John, one of the world’s top experts on mindset and success psychology.

For more than two decades, Noah has helped entrepreneurs, CEOs, and business leaders create over three billion dollars in new revenue by mastering their mindset, eliminating self-sabotage, and turning habits into results.

We talk about the real foundation of success: belief, discipline, and purpose. Noah explains how builders, entrepreneurs, and business leaders can break through mental barriers and reach their next level of growth. We also discuss Afformations versus affirmations and why asking better questions leads to better outcomes.

Noah shares how to clear the head trash that holds people back, and why time is irrelevant. What we should master instead is priorities and systems.

If you have ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or capable of more, this conversation will help you rebuild your mindset from the ground up.

They ranked our subcontractors and team in categories like who talks the most, who talks the least, who’s the cleanest, who’s the dirtiest, their favorite subcontractors, and even the weirdest things they’ve seen in our houses.
