This is episode 3 of 6 in a Deep Dive Series on the Housing Innovation Alliance! If you hear any background noise, that's because this episode was recorded LIVE at the HIA Conference 2024 at the University of Denver! “So if I can summarize what we do, or what we're trying to aspire to do, is make offsite construction so easy a caveman could do it.” In this conversation, Devon Tilly chats with Garrett Moore of Agorus. In football, as in life, the most important person on the field is often the least noticed – the left tackle: he protects the quarterback's blind side.” As a quarterback at Stanford University, this simple lesson laid the early foundation for Garrett's servant-leadership philosophy: “It's the people you work with every day who determine your ability to make an impact”. After achieving a degree in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford, and despite an early desire to jump right into a Silicon Valley start-up after graduation, Garrett's passion to serve led him to San Diego to become an officer in the Navy SEALs. During this time, he was also selected to become an Olmsted Scholar (similar to a Rhodes Scholarship). After learning Hebrew from scratch, he earned his master's degree in Cybersecurity at Tel Aviv University…in Hebrew! Living there in Startup Nation, he learned another critical lesson, “Never underestimate the power of a small group of committed people to change the world.” You might see two common denominators in these life shaping experiences – a love of high performing teams and fearlessness in the face of challenges. Garrett and his co-founder Kyle run headlong into the fray when most would hesitate. “If a problem is too hard for everyone else, it's probably just right for us”. And for that reason, he is wholly committed to solving America's elusive housing crisis. Garrett is married to his childhood sweetheart and loves to spend time with his family. It's no surprise that he's also an extreme sports guy, snowboarding, mountain biking and e-foiling whenever he can. By the way, don't ever get suckered into a ping pong game with him. It won't go well for you.

This episode of Hire Smarter dives into the questions to help listeners understand what the cutting edge supply chain tactics are and how first principles can challenge the status quo and help your organization move forward. The sharpest supply chain leaders start from a cultural perspective in creating a place where there is a more progressive think, challenging teams with best practices and innovation that impact the P&L. Our guest today is Matt Wolf, recently the director of Supply Chain with Agorus. He claims to have improved profits by 35%, strictly through a better supply chain approach. He and his team focused on changing the industry's view of offsite manufacturing through a variety of tactics. Here are the big topics Matt helps break down in this podcast: How focused is your supply chain team at impacting your customer's value proposition? How does your team implement best practices to deliver an industrialized process? How do you currently approach the expense vs inventory conundrum around purchasing? What are the opportunities moving from CAD to BOM? How do the table stakes change in hiring talent from outside the industry?

TIP OF THE WEEKGarrett:I'm going to give a little bit of a phrase that pays the most dividends–in non-military application. “Embrace the suck,” meaning there is something empowering in that misery, and focusing on others, that does two things: 1. It seals a bond with others who are in the moment with you. 2. It's difficult to focus on your pain and someone else's pain at the same time.Mark:Learn more about the future.

In this episode, Hall welcomes Dr. Raymond Levitt, Operating Partner at Blackhorn Ventures LP. Headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, Blackhorn Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm that invests in companies using breakthroughs in engineering and science, coupled with the infrastructure of the information revolution, to redefine resource productivity. They have three funds: an early-stage seed fund, an early growth fund that invests in A Rounds, and the Blackhorn Select Fund that makes larger investments of growth capital for its most successful portfolio companies. Raymond was nominated to this year's BuiltWorlds Mavericks List in the Investor Category because, along with his partners at Blackhorn Ventures, he has become one of the most prolific investors in built environment startups. Ray and his team at Blackhorn Ventures have made at least twenty investments in an impressive array of “built environment” startups, including Agorus, ALICE, Briq, ClimateAI, CoFi, Drawboard, Dwellsy, Foresight, FutureProof, Hive Technologies, Humatics, Hyperframe, Manufacton, Modulous, Near Space Labs, Pype, QuoteToMe, Safehub, Safesite, Toggle, Ultra High Materials, and Veerum. He traces his work on digital technology applied to the built environment back to the mid-eighties when he spent a sabbatical leave from Stanford as an intern at IntelliCorp, which was then commercializing an early software platform for rapidly developing AI solutions. During that period, he collaborated with Dr. John Kunz to develop PLATFORM, the first application of AI to the management of construction and other projects. Ray serves as President of the Farmers Investment Club, a group of Stanford-linked angel investors that was an early investor in Plangrid, eSub, Kahua, Aurora Solar, and dozens of other early-stage startups.
