The way we build and renovate has a major impact on what gets wasted, what gets reused, and how communities think about sustainability. In this episode of Small Business Big Impact, host Jay-Ann Gilfoy, CEO of Meridian Credit Union, speaks with Meredith Moore, founder of Ouroboros Deconstruction. Meredith is rethinking the demolition process by carefully dismantling buildings to recover valuable materials and keep them in circulation. She shares how she started with her own home as a case study, built a business from the ground up, and grew into larger residential and commercial projects. 

Key Takeaways:

• Innovation can come from rethinking existing systems, not just creating new ones.
• Starting small with available resources can lead to scalable business opportunities.
• Building the right team is critical in physically demanding and niche industries.
• Sustainable practices can create both environmental impact and viable business models.
