Mark has a rare ability to create episodes that are both entertaining, and offer real, tactical value that listeners can implement immediately. That’s extremely hard to do and takes an incredible amount of preparation. Thank you Mark for putting out such high quality content!
The Curious Builder is labeled as an entrepreneurial podcast, but that is just at the surface. Mark has a talent for bringing out the heart and soul of his guests and really getting to the truth of why builders and entrepreneurs in general do what they do. I definitely would recommend this show to builders but really any creative business owner who is balancing business, family, and the delicate dance that life is.
This podcast is very educational for other builders who want to find a healthy outlet for all aspects of their business and mental health. We’re not in this alone!
This is a great podcast for both builders and entrepreneurs!
Mark and his guests do an amazing job of diving into topics that are both geared for beginners and experts in the building industry. From running a business, to building science, to design, to being a good husband or wife, the topics are intriguing and thought provoking. Every episode has a golden nugget of advice, and is WELL worth listening to.

A standout throughline is turning hard lessons into repeatable systems, whether through deposits, niche branding, or in-person events that strengthen community and partnerships.
