  • Construction owners wife

    As a construction business owner’s wife, this podcast has been insanely validating. Almost everything that comes out of Todd’s mouth, I’ve heard my husband say at some point. The pressure, the mental load, the constant problem-solving, the burnout, it’s all painfully familiar.

    What really sets this podcast apart, though, is that it doesn’t stop at validation. It actually offers a system to make things better. Being a business owner’s wife comes with so much unspoken weight, and for the first tim... more

  • Fairly new listener

    I started listening to Matt’s podcast a few months ago. I’m the GM for a small family owned GC company. I started listening because I’m in the middle of a 5 year buyout plan and want ideas on how to grow and develop the business once I take over. So far the information is spectacular.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AI Is Lying, Customers Aren't: Radical Transparency and Culture-Building with Eric Fortenberry | Ep. 450
Q: What is the single biggest operational lie that contractors are being told today that's secretly keeping them stuck?
The biggest lie is that underpricing is okay; many contractors don't truly know their numbers or their job costs, which leads to underpricing and chronic underperformance until it's corrected with real costing, overhead understanding, and disciplined pricing.
3 Keys to Taking Back Control of Your Construction Business with Daaron Yester | EP 439
Q: What are the top one or two most impactful systems or processes you implemented in your business as a result of what you've learned in the program?
Clarifying roles and putting people in their proper places freed Darren to focus on key areas like coaching, estimating, and driving the business forward. He also emphasizes getting into the numbers, using RevMax, and tightening the estimating process to improve margins and forecasting.
How John Springstead Doubled Revenue While Cutting His Work Hours | EP 436
Q: How have the changes affected your day-to-day schedule and your role in the company?
I now work a much smaller number of hours, have a calmer office environment, and spend more time on growth and marketing while Jonathan and Shannon run the field and sales processes; the day-to-day is much more controlled and predictable.
