Hagen Hunt was raised on his family's farming and ranching operation and he knew that's what he wanted to do from an early age. After figuring out college wasn't for him he decided to go all in. He started picking whatever work he could find farming and ranching and eventually building fence. He saw a need for fence builders and turned that into a business alongside picking up leases to farm and turn cattle out on. Because he had a crew and equipment some bad weather brought an opportunity his way that developed into another business. Since then he has grown the farming and cattle enough that he only focuses on that. Check it out to see how Hagen turned a dream into a full time business.

You're invited to a sermon exploring what makes a true hero — faithfulness, humility, and honor — illustrated by Desmond Doss, Moses, and above all Jesus. Using Hebrews 3:1–6, the message shows how Jesus is the greater hero and calls listeners to fix their thoughts on Him. Practical application: hold fast to Jesus, emulate His faithfulness, honor Him in worship, and trust the Son as the mediator and builder of God's household. “Jesus Is Better than Moses” Hebrews 3:1-6 Main Idea: Jesus is the greatest Hero—better than Moses —we must fix our minds on Him and hold fast to our hope in Him together. Introduction: I Need a Hero! Heroes are Faithful (vv. 1–2) Moses was faithful in all God's house. Jesus was faithful to the One who appointed Him. Heroes are Honored (v. 3a) Numbers 12:3-8 If anyone seemed closest to God, it was Moses—which makes the claim that Jesus is greater absolutely staggering. Jesus Is the Better Hero (v. 3b-6a) Builder vs. house Son vs. servant Heroes Hold Fast to Jesus (v.6b) We are God's house—His family—if we hold firmly to our confidence and hope in Christ. (Ephesians 2:19-22) Question: “If every believer in this church walked with Jesus like I do, what kind of church would we be?” Conclusion: How to Follow the Better Hero Fix Your Mind on Jesus Look at His Faithfulness See His Greater Honor Trust the Son Find other Podcasts, Sermon Notes and the Bulletin here. https://www.mvcnaz.org/live Stay in touch with our Church Center App at https://www.mvcnaz.org/churchcenter Contact us through our CONNECT form at https://www.mvcnaz.org/connect With Pastor Mike Curry.
High-performance building is not just about premium products. It is about the system. In this episode, we sit down with Sven Maxa from Maxa Design to unpack what Passive House building really looks like behind the scenes, from airtightness targets to the practical realities of delivering high-performance homes on site.This conversation flips the usual format, with Sven taking the lead and putting us (Hamish and Matt) in the hot seat. We get into the details that actually make or break a Passive House project, including airtightness testing, verification, contract clarity, and what happens when documentation looks great in renders but does not hold up on a building site.A major theme is collaboration between the architect, designer, builder, and trades. Passive House and building science only works when the whole team is aligned early, with transparent cost planning, clear communication, and strong documentation to avoid rework, delays, and budget blowouts.We wrap by looking at what needs to change in the Australian construction industry to lift standards at scale. Better legislation, better education, and a stronger baseline for residential construction.

During home build or remodel, there are 6 hidden designers who play a role in changing your desired plans for the house, often without your consent. As a homeowner or homebuilder, it is your job to be aware of these and to know how to push back to keep the integrity of your original design.
When the world feels heavy, polished stories stop working. The ones that land are the honest ones — the ones that start with trouble. In this episode of The PSM Show, hosts Damion Morris and Deirdre Booth sit down with writer and strategist Joel Hoekstra for a "pull up a chair" conversation about why the best AEC stories don't begin with brilliance or technical expertise — they begin with friction, uncertainty, and what wasn't working. Joel shares how he helps marketers draw human-centered narratives out of highly technical subject matter experts, why empathy consistently beats perfection, and how the stories a firm tells (or avoids) reveal its values, culture, and client experience. You'll hear practical ways to get past "it's just what we do," including a simple interviewing move that unlocks better detail, better clarity, and better trust: "Tell me more." Joel also breaks down why headlines matter more than most firms think, how scannable structure (subheads, bullets, formatting) increases impact, and how to build reusable story "toolkits" that support proposals without relying on boilerplate. Plus, Joel introduces his START Story Formula — a clear framework marketers can use to shape case studies, Q&A prep, and project profiles: Situation → Trouble → Action → Result → Transformation Because the ribbon-cutting is a result — but what changes six months later is the transformation people actually remember. Guest bio: Joel Hoekstra Joel is a Minnesota-based content-marketing strategist and writer who helps design firms tell client-centric stories that win work. He has held marketing-communications roles at several architecture firms in Minneapolis and has written extensively about design and architecture for such publications as Metropolis, This Old House, RIBA Journal, ARCHITECT, BUILDER, and American Craft.

In this episode, Levi Harrill joins Matt in the studio for a conversation that blends nostalgia, craftsmanship, and the pure joy of keeping hot‑rodding alive. Levi shares how his grandpa first pulled him into the car scene—starting with those 99‑cent Hot Wheels that sparked a lifelong obsession.He talks about his soft spot for pre‑war iron from the teens, 20s, and 30s, the truck that slipped through his fingers, and what he brought to the Rat Stock Build Off. Levi also breaks down the lineup of cars he had to choose from for the High Class Trash Invitational and the inspiration behind the vision he ultimately chased.Matt and Levi dig into how different generations approach their builds, the trial‑and‑error process of figuring out what works (and what definitely doesn't), and the emotional payoff of hitting that magical “running and driving” moment. They also shine a light on the car community—how inclusive, down‑to‑earth, and genuinely supportive it can be when people come together simply to enjoy their builds.And yes… they even talk about a town so small it has a dealership that sells both Ford and Chevy under one roof.This one's all about passion, people, and keeping the culture alive.

What happens when you sit down with a lighting designer who's spent two decades navigating one of the world's most dynamic, culturally complex markets—and ask him how culture, design, and architecture really intersect?In this episode of LytePOD, host Sam Koerbel travels to Dubai to sit down with Siddharth (Sid) Mathur, a veteran lighting designer who has witnessed firsthand the transformation of a city that went from drilling pilings for the Burj Khalifa to becoming one of the most internationally influential design hubs in the world. This isn't a conversation about fixtures or specifications—it's a deep dive into the forces that shape how we design, who we design for, and why understanding people is the single most important skill a designer can have.Sid walksreveals why uniformity is the death of design, why a 70-year-old client and a 25-year-old client want completely different things from their lighting (even if they live in the same city), and why the most important part of any project isn't the rendering—it's the person-to-person connection that makes everything else possible.But this conversation goes deeper. It's about the tension between creative vision and client expectation, the exhausting reality of juggling five different cultural contexts in a single day, and why lighting design—despite all its challenges—remains one of the most rewarding professions for those willing to treat it like the marathon it is. Cedar shares why he pushes the envelope on every project, why lighting is the makeup that keeps the perfect marriage of architecture and culture going, and why one person's sparkle is always another person's glare.
To watch a video version of this podcast, click here: https://youtu.be/0US0bHGynQoIn this episode, Reuben Saltzman and Tessa Murry once again welcome Structure Tech's Service Manager, Eric Houseman, for a deep dive into one of the most debated topics in home inspections: flashing and exterior water management. Prompted by an email from fellow home inspector Chris, the discussion explores real-world challenges with flashing details, siding clearances, and the gap between best practices and industry standards. The episode highlights why these details are often overlooked, how that impacts homes, and what inspectors and homeowners should know to avoid costly hidden damage. Here's the link to Inspector Empire Builder: https://www.iebcoaching.com/eventsTakeaways“No damage yet” is not a valid reason to ignore improper flashing—problems can take years to surface.You often cannot confirm the absence of damage without intrusive inspection, so assumptions are risky.Even small, undersized, or poorly angled kick‑out flashings can increase water intrusion potential.Head flashing/drip caps above windows and doors are universally required by manufacturers—even if local builders claim otherwise.Context matters: overhangs, siding type, wall assembly, and home age affect how serious missing flashing is.Water‑resistant barriers and tape alone cannot replace properly installed rigid flashing.When in doubt, report the defect clearly and let the builder or homeowner decide the next steps.Home inspectors must balance clarity, liability, and real‑world practicality when writing reports.Builder and agent pushback is common—but manufacturer instructions are the ultimate authority.Good bedside manner and client communication can prevent inspectors from being labeled “deal killers.”Chapters00:00 Intro and episode setup00:27 Welcoming back Eric Houseman00:56 Show sponsor: IEB01:40 Listener Chris's email and the topic of exterior water‑management defects02:47 Question 1: Kick‑out flashing05:23 Undersized or improperly angled kick‑outs06:15 “There's no damage—why mention it?”08:06 When and why Structure Tech calls out inadequate kick‑outs09:43 Real‑world builder behavior and simple fixes11:11 How wording in reports focuses on increased potential for problems12:10 Balancing best practice and liability13:53 Question 2: Drip caps and head flashing17:12 Why windows and openings universally require rigid flashing18:37 Builder pushback: “It's not required.”21:07 What siding manufacturers expect (and why it matters)24:03 Considering home age, siding type, and overhangs25:46 A continuum of concern: stucco vs. vinyl28:08 How Structure Tech phrases drip‑cap comments29:12 Question 3: Z‑flashing, drainage gaps, and siding clearance31:57 Manufacturer requirements vs. real‑world installations32:46 Structure Tech's canned report language36:57 Should you mention missing kick‑outs on older homes?

Most Catholic men pray in the morning, go to Mass on Sunday, then spend most of their lives believing their work has nothing to do with holiness.That lie is costing men their strength, discipline, and authority.In this episode of The Manly Catholic, we bring you a hard-hitting conversation with Fr. Dom, priest, welder, and chaplain at Harmel Academy of the Trades, originally aired on the House of the Builder podcast. This is not a motivational talk about “finding purpose.” This is a restoration of the Catholic vision of work as a weapon in spiritual warfare.Jesus Christ was not weak. He was a tecton — a laborer who worked with His hands, under authority, alongside other men. St. Joseph did the same. God forms men through labor, obedience, responsibility, and sacrifice. When men reject that formation, the enemy steps in.Fr. Dominic exposes the false divide between prayer and labor and shows how attention to detail, endurance, submission to authority, and showing up every day forge men capable of leading families and resisting the devil.This episode issues a clear challenge to Catholic men:Stop wasting your workday spiritually. Offer your labor to God. Work with discipline. Eliminate complaint. Let your job form you into a man who can carry weight.Listen carefully. Then go back to work differently today.3 Key Quotes“God forms men through responsibility, not comfort.”“Every act of labor matters when it is offered to God.”“When men stop guarding the garden, the enemy walks in.”Your CHALLENGEYour job is either forming a saint or weakening a man. Choose how you work.Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our Buy Me A Coffee page (https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc) to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!
