It’s intentionally long-form — too many podcasts try to cram everything into 30–45 minutes, leaving no room for real conversation. John's goal is different: authentic stories, honest experiences, no fluff. Just two like-minded people talking shop, the way you would around a campfire. Listeners get to be a fly on the wall — learning through our stories, hearing both the wins and the failures, and w... more

  • Top Notch

    I related most to Johnny on his previous podcast, so was psyched when GC launched. Every episode has progressively gotten better. Johnny provided great insights while letting the guest shine and it’s a truly enjoyable listen!

  • The conversations our industry needs

    As a GC and a tradesman for over 30 years, this is pure gold. Johnny gives you access to the kinds of conversations I wish I could have more often with others in our field. He has a way of weaving his stories, insights, and passion for the craft into every discussion, using a unique interviewing style that keeps you hooked.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 17 Paul Charett
Q: What's your approach to front-end planning to reduce stress later in the build?
I intensively front-load decisions with designers and clients—sharing exact wood, finishes, dimensions, and samples—so the back-end has fewer surprises. This reduces anxiety on delivery day and helps ensure the client gets what they paid for and what they expected.
Episode 17 Paul Charett
Q: How do you price and protect yourself on bespoke projects where outcomes are uncertain?
I price by breaking out material costs, labor, and overhead while considering location and logistics, then add a risk buffer for potential mistakes; if the math doesn't add up, I don't take the job. I also use deposits and staged payments to align cash flow with the project timeline and protect myself from nonpayment.
Episode 12 OttoMagdanz
Q: Tell me how you got into this field and what the spark was for starting Coda Managed Homes?
Otto explains an opportunistic shift after his Harvard experience, shadowing a cousin in the high-end space, and recognizing a market gap for a concierge-style management service that could handle ongoing client needs and recurring maintenance.
Episode 24 Spencer Lewis
Q: How do you balance scale and value when higher-end projects demand more than the budget allows?
He discusses maintaining a high value proposition through strong leadership, better communication, and careful scope management; he emphasizes the importance of not just chasing higher profits but ensuring the relationship and deliverables justify the price.
Episode 24 Spencer Lewis
Q: Before Al found that chemistry, what was the thought process around who you would partner with for projects?
Spencer explains that growth happened gradually through alignment with like-minded builders; the partners they chose had to share a vision for mid- to high-end work and a willingness to grow together rather than just farming out work.
