  • When Marti speaks, I listen

    Real-world wisdom from someone who’s actually done it. Marti Amos is the real deal. In a world full of 'coaches' who have never run a business, Marti is a breath of fresh air. He walks the walk, and his wealth of experience shines through in every episode. He doesn't just give you slogans; he gives you the systems to buy back your life. When Marti talks, I listen. If you’re a builder or an entrepreneur feeling trapped by your business, this podcast is a godsend.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Epi 229: Stop Being The ONLY ONE Doing Everything In Your Business | Coach Chase
Q: What did the process look like for the accountability coaches? How frequently were you talking to the members? And what kind of general medium or communication were you having?
They usually spoke by phone every week or two, with some calls lasting about 15 minutes to check on specific tasks such as completing a work-in-progress report or posting a job ad. They also followed up through the TPB app and other communications.
Epi 229: Stop Being The ONLY ONE Doing Everything In Your Business | Coach Chase
Q: What kind of stuff is being developed plot by plot?
Chase and his Portuguese partner buy rural plots, secure the needed urban classification, plan permitted development with an architect, and sell the prepared plans to builders or end customers. Their ecological approach can include fruit trees, farmland, olive groves and cork oaks.
Epi 228: AI Won’t Save Your Building Business Until You Know THESE Numbers | Coach Chase
Q: Where have you seen members get their AI stuff wrong?
Chase says owners often build workflows and leave them without assigning anyone to maintain them or reviewing their results. AI is a tool that should remain under human direction, with a responsible team member and clear performance checks.
Epi 228: AI Won’t Save Your Building Business Until You Know THESE Numbers | Coach Chase
Q: So where are you seeing some of your members use and adopt AI successfully, and where are you seeing some of them adopt AI stupidly?
Chase says AI works well for repetitive administration, operations and organizing data, especially when meetings produce assigned actions and deadlines. It fails when owners delegate it without oversight, use it without accurate business data or expect it to replace human judgment.
[ON SITE] Epi 15: This Is What Happens When Your Custom Build Wins A GEORGIE Award | Louis Nguyen
Q: How do you fund and finance your projects, and are you leaning toward self-funding or partnerships?
Projects are funded through credit unions with typical lending around 75% of project value; the team is exploring partnerships and joint venture structures to accelerate capital cycling and enable growth beyond self-funding.
