Jome built a marketplace for new construction homes by solving a transparency problem most people don't know exists: the vast majority of new builds never appear on Zillow, Redfin, or traditional MLS systems. In this episode of BUILDERS, I sat down with Dan Hnatkovskyy, CEO and Co-Founder of Jome, to unpack how he identified a massive category gap during Austin's pandemic housing boom and scaled from scraping builder websites to partnering with 1,700+ builders including 92 of the top 100. Dan shares the specific market moments that unlocked builder partnerships, how he discovered Google's separate product category for new construction, and why early LLM traffic became a meaningful acquisition channel. Topics Discussed: Why IDX feeds and MLS requirements systematically exclude new construction inventory The three market inflection points that accelerated builder partnerships from 500 to 1,500+ in 12 months How Google's separate new construction product category created an arbitrage opportunity against brand-focused builders The manual MVP: Typeform + text message delivery before building any real product Why the mortgage rate lock-in effect (50%+ of mortgages under 3.5% vs 6-7% prevailing rates) compounds the housing shortage Accidentally discovering ChatGPT and Perplexity were driving closed transactions through analytics instrumentation The decision to optimize entirely for buyers despite builders being the sole revenue source GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Map structural exclusions in existing distribution systems: New construction homes can't enter MLS because they often lack finished addresses, real images, or completed properties—requirements designed for resale homes. This structural incompatibility created a $400B+ blind spot. Dan didn't just find underserved customers; he identified a category systematically locked out of dominant distribution. B2B founders should analyze whether incumbent platforms have structural requirements that exclude segments of the market, not just underserve them. Exploit paid search category mismatches between buyer intent and seller behavior: Dan discovered Google maintains separate product categories for new construction versus resale homes. Zillow and Redfin competed intensely in resale, but new construction was dominated by individual builders (Lennar, DR Horton) who assumed brand-driven intent—similar to car manufacturers. The reality: buyers search "new construction homes in Austin," not "Lennar homes." This category/behavior mismatch created immediate arbitrage. B2B founders should audit whether buyers search by problem/outcome while incumbents bid on brand terms, creating white space for aggregators. Time enterprise outreach to industry stress events, not product readiness: Jome scaled from 500 to 1,500 builders in one year by capitalizing on three specific moments: (1) pandemic demand surge when builders needed millennial/Gen Z reach, (2) 2022 quantitative tightening when builders feared demand collapse, (3) Zillow's 2023 policy change excluding builders with under 10 communities. Dan didn't wait for product-market fit—he mapped when prospects would be most receptive to any solution. B2B founders should create a calendar of industry stress events (regulatory changes, market corrections, competitor policy shifts) and time outreach to these windows regardless of product maturity. Instrument conversion funnels to detect emergent channels before consensus forms: Jome discovered meaningful lead volume and closed transactions from ChatGPT and Perplexity through analytics, not strategy. Only after seeing the data did they experiment with what Dan calls "reinforcement learning with LLMs"—promoting positive results to train the models. This wasn't about SEO or prompt engineering; it was about measurement infrastructure that surfaced signal before the channel was obvious. B2B founders should track referral sources at the closed deal level, not just top-of-funnel, to catch emerging platforms while unit economics are still favorable. Manually deliver value at zero margin before building product: Before any integrations or platform, Jome ran Google Ads to a Typeform, manually created searches in their agent-facing tool, and texted results to buyers. Dan's framework: "Start with manually creating value...and then step by step, improve it, automate it, make it more efficient." He launched this on a personal credit card and got immediate signal. B2B founders should resist the urge to build scalable product until they've proven someone will pay for (or convert on) manual delivery of the outcome. Optimize for the non-paying side when you're building a two-sided marketplace: Despite 100% of revenue coming from builder commissions, every product decision optimizes for buyer experience. Dan's logic: "If we want to bring value to the builders...we need to start with the buyers. We need to create the best possible home buying journey." This isn't idealism—it's recognition that in transaction-based models, buyer liquidity determines builder participation. B2B founders in marketplace businesses must identify which side is supply-constrained and build obsessively for the other side. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

In this family cast episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I sit down again with Jessica Johnson, one of our Wicked Smart® Associates who's quietly stacking 3 Paydays® while juggling a full-time job, two young kids, and all of life's curveballs. Since her first appearance back in October 2024, Jessica's added multiple terms deals, navigated a unique mixed-use property, and even had her second baby, all while leaning heavily on our coaches and community to keep moving forward.  We talk about how she went from her first taken to stacking several more, the emotional reality of dealing with a challenging buyer who moved out, and why she now believes the only real failure is not trying. Jessica shares practical advice for moms in real estate, how she builds a schedule around naps and newborn chaos, what she took away from In The Trenches Bootcamp, and how she's using books, audiobooks, and our "26 in 26" challenge to rebuild her mindset. If you're a working parent, a newer creative real estate investor, or someone who's tempted to quit when deals get messy, this conversation will show you what's possible when you stay in the game, rely on your coaches, and let the 3 Paydays® system work for you.

"The only way I can be a failure is if I don't try." "If you don't go through struggles, you're not going to get real-life experience.

The hardest transition in construction isn't technical—it's moving from building projects to leading people. In this episode, Eric Anderton talks with leadership expert Joel M. Hilchey about why so many construction leaders struggle once their hands come off the tools. They explore career development conversations, micro-feedback, why high performers leave first, and the subtle leadership habits that quietly drain initiative and ownership. If you've ever felt guilty because your boots aren't muddy anymore—or caught yourself jumping back into the work "just to help"—this episode will hit home.
Joe Wilson, Chief Evangelist at Bunq, examines how real startups are built through honest problem definition, relentless iteration, and a builder's mindset instead of one-off heroic moments. Joe Wilson traces his path from a dorm-room company started to pay for college to a career of stacking small wins into durable results, sharing why most founders oversell themselves and how five hard questions can pressure-test any idea.Book mentioned: Razors Edge by Somerset Maugham Thank you to our sponsor, SecureVision, for making this show possible!

Today, I'm talking about the element of fire. This is the third episode in my series on the elements. Last fall, I explored water and wind, what they represent and how to work with them in everyday life. The Element of Fire When I say fire, I mean the flames that warm you, cook your food, clear land, and forge metal. Fire is one of the few elements that feels instantly familiar and deeply mysterious at the same time. You've sat in front of a fire and felt its heat. You've probably stared into the flames and lost track of time, almost like a meditation. That alone tells you something important. For thousands of years, fire has been far more than a tool. It has been treated as a presence, revered as a teacher, and even honored as a deity. Across cultures, fire has been seen as a messenger between worlds, a force that connects the visible and invisible. In classical and esoteric traditions, fire is one of the four primary elements, alongside earth, water, and air. It's associated with energy, passion, illumination, will, creation, destruction, and transformation. More than anything, fire is the element that changes things. Everything that touches fire is altered, and there is no undo button when it comes to flames. That's exactly why mystics, shamans, and alchemists paid such close attention to it. When I talk about fire as a spiritual element, I'm talking about a force that burns away what no longer serves, illuminates what's been hidden, and initiates transformation at a deep level. Fire is never subtle. Fire Across Time and Tradition If you look back through history, fire appears everywhere people were trying to understand life, death, and the unseen world. In ancient Greece, fire was considered a divine substance, famously stolen from the gods by Prometheus and given to humanity. That myth alone tells you how powerful fire was perceived to be. Fire wasn't just heat, it was consciousness, creativity, and civilization itself. In Vedic and yogic traditions, the fire element is called tejas. Tejas represents inner radiance, metabolic energy, and illumination. It's linked not only to digestion of food, but to digestion of experience, what you can process, integrate, and turn into wisdom. In Chinese philosophy, fire is one of five elements and is associated with the heart, joy, vitality, and spirit. When fire is balanced, there's warmth and enthusiasm for life. When it's excessive or depleted, it shows up as burnout, agitation, or a coldness of spirit. Celtic traditions placed fire at the center of seasonal festivals like Beltane and Samhain. Bonfires marked thresholds between worlds, protected communities, and ushered in new cycles. Fire was symbolic and practical. And in homes across the world, the hearth fire was the literal and energetic center of life. It's where food was prepared, stories were told, and decisions were made. The hearth was both sacred and ordinary. When we work with fire today, we're stepping into one of the oldest relationships humans have ever had with an element that could both sustain and destroy them. Fire demands respect and doesn't negotiate. In return, it offers truth by stripping away illusion and getting to the core. Builder, Destroyer, and Catalyst for Change One of the most important things to understand about fire is its dual nature. Fire is both a builder and a destroyer. People usually think of fire's destructive qualities, but destruction is not inherently bad. Fire clears old growth in the forest, so new life can emerge. It purifies, resets, and creates space. In alchemy and mysticism, this dual role is essential. Fire breaks structures down to their core components. From that essential place, something new can be formed. This mirrors an inner process many people experience, especially in midlife and beyond. There's often a moment when what used to work no longer does. Old identities might feel restrictive and old patterns can feel exhausting. Maybe there's an inner fire saying, “This cannot continue.” That inner fire isn't trying to make you uncomfortable, but working to realign you. Fire doesn't consider your comfort zone as it eliminates illusion to reveal the truth. Fire and Spiritual Alchemy In spiritual alchemy, fire is the heat that refines raw material into something clearer and more potent. Alchemists weren't just trying to turn lead into gold. They were working to transform fear, emotion, and confusion into insight and clarity. That doesn't happen without heat. Fire has long been described as a bearer of information, a force that accelerates transformation and amplifies subtle energy. In yogic and Buddhist traditions, balanced inner fire is linked with clear perception and intuitive awareness. You see more clearly. You digest experience instead of storing it as emotional baggage. This is why working with fire can feel clarifying and, at times, uncomfortable. Fire asks simple but powerful questions such as: What's ready to be released? What truth is trying to surface? What no longer fits? If you've ever sat in front of a candle and had an unexpected realization, you already know how fire speaks. The Hearth and Everyday Alchemy For most of human history, the hearth fire represented safety, nourishment, and belonging. In Greek tradition, Hestia was the goddess of the hearth, embodying stillness and presence. In Irish tradition, Brigid carried the triple flame of hearth, forge, and inspiration, overseeing care, craft, and creativity. Cooking over fire is everyday alchemy. Raw ingredients are transformed into nourishment through heat, time, and attention. When you cook with awareness or light a candle with intention, you're already working with fire as an ally. Fire for Manifesting and Divining Fire has also long been used for manifestation and divination. It creates momentum – just think of how a fire spreads so rapidly. Fire also shifts things from one state to another, responding to clarity and sincerity, rather than force or desperation. Across traditions, people burned symbols of what they wanted to release or manifest. Watching something physically transform signals completion to your nervous system. The flames help the body and psyche understand that a shift has occurred. Fire has also been used for divination, especially using a candle. Observing how a flame moves, steadies, flares, or resists lighting has long been a way of engaging intuition. Fire helps you reflect on what's already present rathern than telling you what to do. One of the easiest ways to work with fire is by candle gazing, a practice found in yogic traditions called tratakah. Watching the flame steadies the mind, quiets mental chatter, and brings clarity. Listen to the podcast to discover several simple fire practices in the podcast. Message from the Element of Fire Intuitively. I've connected with the element of fire. A couple of years ago, my friend Krista and I sat in front of a fire. Suddenly she suggested we should “talk to the fire.” I was surprised, and honestly delighted, when I actually heard something. I had been told it takes years of training to speak with the elements. That's no longer true. The energy on earth moves faster now. The veil is thinner. Many people have a higher vibration today. What I heard from the fire was simple and unmistakable: “I am powerful. I am destructive. I am creative. I am transformative. I am beautiful. I am warmth. I am dancing. I am passion.” That sounds exactly like fire, doesn't it? Fire teaches through warmth and light, but also through endings and change. When you work with fire, you're can't control it. You're partnering with a force that knows how to transform everything it touches. You listen, respect, and collaborate. Sometimes, that's exactly the kind of magic you need.

Builder confidence is dropping faster than my patience when I can't find my favorite tool, with a recent dip to a not-so-rosy 37 on the index. But fear not, we're also seeing renovation spending gearing up for a little comeback, so maybe there's hope for our home improvement dreams yet! Join me as I dissect the chaos of today's market, the absurdity of house flips that make you question humanity, and what the future might hold as we navigate this ever-turbulent housing landscape. You won't want to miss this midweek update filled with sarcasm, insights, and a sprinkle of good old-fashioned mockery—because really, who doesn't need a laugh while discussing home prices? The housing market is like that friend who promises to show up but always bails last minute—totally unreliable and frustratingly unpredictable. This week, Eric G dives deep into the current state of housing and remodeling, predicting what 2026 might look like for all of us poor souls trying to make sense of it. Spoiler alert: it's not all sunshine and rainbows. With builder confidence dropping and sales expectations plummeting, it's clear that we're in for a bumpy ride. Just when you thought things couldn't get worse, 40% of builders are cutting prices like they're at a clearance sale—except, you know, it's not a great sign for the overall market. We're talking average price drops of 6%, which is just sad and tells you everything you need to know about the state of affairs. But wait, there's a glimmer of hope! Renovation spending is on the rise for 2026, which might just save our collective sanity. It's like finding a five-dollar bill in your pocket when you thought you were broke. Eric also dishes out some juicy tidbits about the ongoing trade shows in the construction world—where the tools come out to play, and the latest trends do a little dance. From World of Concrete to the International Builder Show, there's a lot happening, and Eric promises to keep us in the loop, even if it means dragging us through the mud of the current housing crisis. As if that weren't enough, Eric has a brilliant idea brewing—he's considering a podcast series dedicated to the absolute horror shows that are some of the house flips he's seen around Portland. Seriously, folks, it's like a train wreck you can't look away from. So, strap in and prepare for a wild ride as we navigate the murky waters of the housing market together. Let's just hope we don't need to build an ark by 2026!Takeaways:The housing market is cooling down with builder confidence falling to 37 in January, not exactly a glowing endorsement for future buyers.Almost 40% of builders are cutting prices, and the average price reduction has jumped to 6%, which is just a little alarming if you ask me.If you thought renovations were on the rise, you might be right—spending on home improvements is expected to rise throughout 2026. Yay for us!Mortgage rates are sitting at about 6.06%, which is the lowest we've seen since late 2022, but don't get too excited about the good old days of 3%.Everyone seems to be holding off on major HVAC upgrades because prices are skyrocketing, and who wants to drop a fortune on a heat pump right now?Energy-efficient upgrades, like EV chargers, are losing their charm in 2026 as more homeowners already have them...
What if the most important steps you'll ever take are the ones you take before you can see the destination? We continue in Hebrews chapter 11 and walk with Abraham and Sarah through long delays, fragile moments, and surprising mercy to learn how trust grows when sight fails. Abraham leaves home without a map and lives in tents, aiming his life toward a city with foundations that God himself designed. Sarah believes past biology and the tyranny of time, not because she felt strong, but because she judged the Promiser faithful. Their story exposes a deeper truth: faith does not deny reality; it reads reality through God's reliability.We talk about waiting as a crucible that clarifies what we actually trust. When outcomes stall, counterfeit foundations crumble. Hebrews calls us strangers and exiles, and that identity reshapes how we live—citizens of heaven serving as ambassadors on earth. That doesn't mean retreat; it means presence with purpose. You can hold power more lightly, love people more deeply, and endure hardship with meaning when your horizon is the new Jerusalem, not the nearest shortcut. We also face the sobering possibility of looking back to “Ur,” back to familiar securities that cannot satisfy. Once you've tasted the better country, going back won't make you whole.If your faith feels uneven, you're not alone. Abraham lied. Sarah laughed. Yet they kept walking, and God kept working. Their imperfect steps point us toward a faithful Builder who prepares a place and sustains a people. Let this conversation steady your footing: take the next obedient step, let waiting deepen your roots, and set your eyes on the city God is building.

Ever wish you could peek into other agents' most challenging situations and hear exactly how to handle them? That's what this episode is all about. We asked our listeners to send us their real estate dilemmas—and they delivered! In Episode 337, we're analyzing real-life real estate scenarios: anxious buyers, builder referral incentives, tricky team splits, disclosure dilemmas, expired listings, and more. Some of these situations are tricky. Others are all-too-familiar. But every single one gets our honest take and plenty of actionable advice. We cover the real reason clients push title companies, how to build agent referral networks that *actually* work, and what happens when you're asked to list a property next to your own rentals. Plus, Alissa shares how working with "difficult" clients early in her career turned into high-end referrals later. And Katy reminds us: don't guilt-trip yourself out of success just because your lead generation strategy has evolved. Here's what we cover in this episode: - How to handle buyers who move too fast - Tips for buyer consults on the fly - New construction vs resale: what's better for a new agent? - Should you disclose you own the property next door? - Builder incentives and loyalty dilemmas - Lender/title kickbacks and your ethical obligations - When a deal falls apart—and whether to leave a bad review - Real talk on referral networks: what works and what's a waste - What to do when "difficult" clients land in your lap - Should agents retire and sell their book of business? Key Quotes & Takeaways "Just because a builder offers incentives doesn't mean it's best for your client or worse. You have to get the fee sheets and compare." – Alissa "Doing your buyer consult at the first showing is totally acceptable, just be prepared and flexible." – Katy "Using your preferred lender is a luxury, not a requirement. The client comes first." – Alissa "If you're getting enough business that you don't have time to look for business... what's the problem?" – Katy "If you can handle the difficult clients, you can earn the better ones." – Alissa Products, People & Previous Episodes Mentioned: Email Templates 101 – http://emailtemplates101.com Agent Systems 101 – http://agentsystems101.com FREE Database Template – http://hustlehumblypodcast.com/starthere Want to toast someone on the show?

With this lunar cycle, the awareness of rebirthing is centered on being aware of one's growth and acquiring personal wisdom. It is essential with Saturn energy to recognize that every action taken has consequences.

Quinten Steenhuis brings a builder's mindset to legal innovation, rooted in early Indymedia activism where scavenged hardware became community infrastructure. That scrappy origin story carries through a dozen years of eviction defense at Greater Boston Legal Services, with a steady focus on tools that help people solve problems without waiting for a savior in a suit. Along the way, Quinten also lived the unglamorous side of mission tech, keeping systems funded, supported, and usable when budgets get tight and priorities get loud.The conversation then jumps to Suffolk Law's approach to generative AI education, including a required learning track for first-year students. Quinten frames the track as foundational training, then points to a deeper bench of follow-on courses and the LIT Lab clinic where students build with real tools, real partners, and real stakes. The throughline stays consistent, exposure alone solves nothing, so Suffolk puts reps, projects, and practice behind the syllabus.A standout segment tackles the “vaporware semester” problem, where student-built prototypes fade out once finals end. The LIT Lab fights that decay by narrowing tool choices, standardizing around DocAssemble, and supervising work with a clinic-style model, staff stay close, quality stays high, and maintenance stays owned. Projects ship through CourtFormsOnline, with ongoing updates, volunteer support, and a commitment to keep public-facing legal help online for the long haul.Then the episode turns toward agentic workflows, with examples from Quinten's consulting work in Virginia and Oregon. One project uses voice-based intake to screen for eligibility, confirm location and income, gather the story in a person's own words, and route matters into usable categories. Another project speeds bar referral by replacing slow human triage with faster classification and better user interaction patterns, fewer walls of typing, more guided choices, more yes-or-no steps, and fewer dead ends.In the closing stretch, Quinten shares the sources feeding his learning loop, LinkedIn, Legal Services Corporation's Innovations conference, the LSNTAP mailing list, podcasts, and Bob Ambrogi's LawSites, plus the occasional spicy Reddit detour. The crystal ball lands on a thorny challenge for both academia and practice, training lawyers for judgment and verification when AI outputs land near-correct most of the time, then fail in the exact moment nobody expects. Quinten's bottom line feels blunt and optimistic at once, safe workflows matter, and the public already uses general chat tools for legal help, so the legal system needs harm-reducing alternatives that work.Listen on mobile platforms: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube[Special Thanks to Legal Technology Hub for their sponsoring this episode.] Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: Jerry David DeCiccaSuffolk Lit LabLemma LegalPipe CatLinks (as shared by Quinten):Transcript

Running a construction business isn't just about building houses—it's about ownership, discipline, and making decisions when nobody's coming to save you.In this episode of The Your Project Shepherd Podcast, Curtis Lawson sits down with longtime friend and custom homebuilder Chris Ferqueron for an honest, builder-to-builder conversation about what it actually takes to survive—and succeed—in construction.Chris shares his journey from running pizza shops that never shut down, to finding stability, pride, and long-term fulfillment in building homes. Along the way, he breaks down the real lessons most builders only learn the hard way: why fear can be a powerful motivator, how organization becomes a competitive advantage, and why simply doing what you say you're going to do separates great builders from everyone else.This episode isn't theory or hype. It's a real conversation about:Why ownership mindset matters more than talentHow discipline and execution drive long-term successWhat production builders actually track—and why it mattersWhy many builders fail when they move into higher-end workHow trust, organization, and follow-through shape client experienceWhy building homes is personal—and why that responsibility mattersIf you're a homebuilder, remodeler, or construction business owner who feels the weight of responsibility every day, this episode will resonate. It's about survival, growth, craftsmanship, and choosing to build a business—and a life—you can stand behind.
