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

  • Honest talk

    This podcast feels like one of the most honest conversations two people can have. I grew up, and really cut my teeth, in custom residential construction, so many of the stories and experiences Johnny shares hit close to home.

    He touches on moments that are vivid for anyone who started out in the trades. The details may be different for each of us, but the journey is worth remembering and reminiscing about.

    Full disclosure: I've had the opportunity to work with Johnny and B H Custom Builders, ... more

    Johnny and his guests get into real issues that people in the industry face. From personal struggles to onsite challenges. This is what is missing from the rest of the construction podcasts out there.

  • Exceptional podcast

    I enjoy the show a lot and regularly listen. I PM for a custom builder and the show was recommended to me. My only critique is that I want more of a learning aspect from the interviews. We obviously can learn much just hearing other’s experiences, but if some specific questions were also peppered in to draw out guest’s opinions on things, that’d be great.

    Maybe some “what would you say to guys that are in this situation?” type questions would be awesome. Still, it’s a great show that I’ll conti... more

  • Great listen!

    Johnny always has great guests and the conversations are never sugar coated. Although his projects are much larger scale than my own, he still keeps the conversation relatable with his candor and gets the most out of his guests.

    I’m looking forward to what he has coming in the future!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 43 Michael Horgan
Q: What role did formal education play in your evolution as a builder and business owner?
Education broadened my view from a purely craft focus to systems thinking—spanning economics, design-build processes, and later passive-house knowledge. It helped me see a path from craft to a scalable, responsible business and gave me tools to communicate value, manage teams, and price intelligently.
Episode 43 Michael Horgan
Q: How did the 2008 financial crisis shape your approach to pricing and risk?
The recession forced us to rethink risk, focus on high-quality work, and tighten our margins. We learned to weather storms by staying disciplined about scope, materials, and labor, and by building reserves to weather slowdowns instead of chasing every new project.
Episode 43 Michael Horgan
Q: What were the early catalysts that pushed you toward starting your own firm?
Early on I moved from learning to executing, then to building a network of skilled subs and then to taking on bigger jobs. The turning point was recognizing that I could control the quality and path of projects by forming my own company and systemizing how we bid, plan, and deliver work.
Episode 40 Dave Hanes
Q: How did the pricing approach evolve from lump sum to cost-plus?
The guest explains that after encountering a large fixed-price project, they moved toward cost-plus to gain transparency, track actual costs, and justify margins. This shift was reinforced by a need to align incentives and better manage uncertainty in complex, bespoke builds.
Episode 38 Jason Pietruszka
Q: What were the key financial lessons from the 200+ home production era, and how did you change pricing and risk management going forward?
The episode highlights the dangers of lump-sum contracts in volatile markets. The guests discuss fixed pricing with allowances, explicit change orders, and strong upfront pricing discipline based on historic data. They stressed building in contingencies, tightening control of cash flow, and moving toward a bank-drought resilience model where deposits and draws align with construction milestones to avoid cash crunches.
