Written for managers and leaders alike, Beyond the Hammer offers a simple yet powerful approach to creating a team where everyone is aligned, and properly positioned to win.

(12:28) Thought Leader Interview with Brian Gottlieb, CEO of Tundraland Home Improvements If anyone deserves to be called a thought leader, Brian Gottlieb is it. It takes a special kind of thinking to be able to start a business in the middle of the Great Recession and then grow it into a brand with an almost unheard-of conservative goal of $50 million.

Stick around; you’re in for a treat! “When the conversation of competition comes up, we don’t pay much attention to it—because if our competition wants to copy our performance, they first have to copy what goes on inside of our people’s heads.” —Brian Gottlieb

In this episode… (0:23) The theme of this episode is: Are You Ready. It's all about how you get into 2019. One of the interesting things about 2019 and New Year’s, in particular, is that 92% of New Year’s resolutions fail. They don't fail because they're stupid ideas or for a lack of trying. As Mark thinks about the topic of "Are You Ready", he breaks this concept down into 3 key factors: 1) Taking inventory of the past, 2) Plan and 3) Launch. The likelihood of success is going to be so much greater if you can accomplish these 3 things. "If you don’t act fast, you’re not going to come out of the gate as strong.” - Mark G. Richardson (12:47) Listen to an interview with Kermit Baker, Chief Economist for the AIA and heads the Harvard’s Remodeling Futures Program in this new segment coined “What’s Happening?” Kermit and Mark take a look back at 2018 by reviewing economic conditions and why the industry is in a strong spot that has led homeowners to feel confident investing in home improvement projects. “2018 has been a good solid year for home improvement activity. We estimate we’ll see 7.5% to 8% growth.” - Kermit Baker (18:30) Check out a new interview with Brian Gottlieb, Founder & President of Tundraland - a remodeling organization based in Wisconsin.
