Welcome to the first full episode of Mindful Builder, we are so excited to kick off this journey with you! We’ve got a lot of guests lined up for future episodes, but we wanted to start things off simple with just the two of us. The two of us sit down to chat about who we are, how we entered the construction industry, and what led us to start this podcast.

Our paths are quite similar. We both pursued different careers before discovering our love for construction. A big part of both of our journeys has been the shift toward sustainability in our businesses. Although it isn’t the focus of this podcast, it is the perspective we come from in these discussions, so we want to tell you what it means to us.

We also talk about the uncertainty we had transitioning into this industry. We made lots of mistakes but ultimately, we’re better for them. By reflecting on mistakes and staying open to new ideas we’ve become more competent and confident builders.

Continuous learning is so important to both of us, and that’s why we created Mindful Builder. We want this to be a space that builds community and allows people to learn from other professionals. Like any community, we can’t do it alone. We’d love to hear from you on what you’d like to hear and who you might like to hear from.
