Tim and Derek break down why your "shit show" operation is scaring off good talent and how an employee handbook is actually your best leadership weapon. If you're tired of being a "fog the mirror" recruiter, it's time to stop making excuses and start building a culture that people will actually take a bullet for.

Every other Saturday, we showcase a topic important to you by rounding up the greatest highlights and clips from Level 10 Contractor's ENTIRE podcast run. This week, we focus on your employees and their morale. You cannot operate your businesses alone; employees are the cogs that make the machine run without you. But they are more than just cogs. They should be reflections on you and the culture of your company. If that culture is negative and degrading… well, you shouldn't expect the highest performance. So how do you keep morale high and your employees humming along?

Send us a textThis episode brings together commercial real estate, construction, and capital markets leaders to unpack what truly drove success in 2025—and where the smartest opportunities lie in 2026. The panel explains why consistent relationship-building and disciplined preparation outperformed attempts to time a volatile market, sharing concrete tactics for client retention, referral flywheels, and turning every contact into multiple lines of business. They then shift to a sector-by-sector outlook, covering construction backlogs, public infrastructure pipelines, rising non‑residential spend, and how sidelined capital is now moving into industrial, data centers, multifamily, and more.The conversation dives into the new AI and marketing paradigm, showing how to use AI as a “day one intern” for execution and bidding while protecting authentic brand voice and trust with clients. Finally, the guests spotlight off‑site and prefabricated construction as a maturing, cost‑competitive methodology that can cut timelines, improve safety, and reshape labor and training. Listeners walk away with practical, 2026-ready strategies: use AI to buy back time, invest it in relationships, and stay ahead of emerging methods like prefab that are quietly redefining project delivery.ABOUT OUR HOSTS: Andreas Senie, Host, Founder CRECollaborative (CRECo.ai), Technology Growth Strategist, CRETech Thought Leader, & Brokerage OwnerChris Abel, Vice President Associated Builders and Contractors of Connecticut, Board Member SMPS—Society for Marketing Professional Services CTRebekah Carlson, Founder & CEO Carlson Integrated, LLC, Past President NICAR Association, Brokerage OwnerABOUT: CRECo.ai Presents: The Real Estate Roundtable — the podcast where innovation meets expertise.

As we head into a new year, this episode hits on something most contractors feel but rarely say out loud. Mike Johnson runs a snow removal crew, a hardscape operation, and a growing team—but the real shift came when he realized success didn't matter if he carried stress everywhere he went. Mike breaks down how he reclaimed peace, rebuilt trust in his team, and stopped letting work steal from his home life.Takeaways: ✅ If you can't shut your brain off at night, you don't have a work problem—you have a peace problem. ✅ Letting go of control isn't a mindset—it's a hiring move. ✅ One mistake can cost a contract… but how you handle it can win loyalty forever.✅ Social media doesn't reward perfect… it rewards real. ✅ Marketing isn't about making the phone ring—it's about who's calling. Why it Matters :If you're stepping into the new year determined to build a better business and a better life, this episode gives you a grounded place to start.Links:➡️ Visit & Follow Mike's Facebook Page (Pro Snow Removal): https://www.facebook.com/GoProSnow➡️ Shop Attachments: Build your business with the right attachments. ⁠⁠https://www.skidsteernation.com⁠⁠➡️ Marketing Help: Marketing built for blue-collar contractors. ⁠⁠https://getthrottledup.com/

Welcome back to the Top Contractor School Podcast, where contractors come to grow stronger, scale smarter, and build businesses that last. In this special year-end episode, Eric Guy sits down with Brian Hess, CEO of The Pavement Group and founder of Top Contractor School, to reflect on the lessons of 2025 and lay the foundation for a dominant 2026. This is a raw, honest conversation about leadership, discipline, growth, and what it really takes to build companies—and people—that last.

In this episode of the Federal Help Center Podcast, Randie Ward pulls back the curtain on one of the most frustrating barriers in GovCon: finding the right person to talk to. From leveraging tools like ZoomInfo and federal data sources to dissecting agency budgets and understanding why program managers are intentionally harder to find, this episode shows how winning contractors turn research into access. Eric also explains why relationship-building isn't about one email or one call—it's about consistent, informed follow-ups that position you as prepared, professional, and serious long before an RFP is released. Key Takeaways Finding the right contact is often harder than identifying the opportunity Agency budgets reveal priorities before solicitations exist Relationships are built through persistence, not one-time outreach If you want to learn more about the community and to join the webinars go to: https://federalhelpcenter.com/  Website: https://govcongiants.org/  Connect with Encore Funding: https://www.encore-funding.com/

Interior designers have a bad rep on building sites for being demanding, difficult and dis-organised, but is this fair? In their drive for perfection, are interior designers their own worst enemy? Do designers efficiently provide the information needed by builders, or do contractors sometimes wilfully misunderstand their design intentions? What can designers and contractors do to make each other's lives easier? In this episode, Jeff and Susie are joined by renowned interior designer Joanna Wood, Founder of Joanna Wood Interiors and Paul Fitzgerald, Founder and Managing Director of Hawksmoor Construction to answer these questions and more.   This episode was recorded as part of the Design Talks programme at Decorex 2025. Thanks to Decorex and to our episode partners, Sofas & Stuff for their support.  Chapters (00:00:00) - Interior Designers: Difficult, Diva and Irrit(00:01:01) - Interior Design and Construction(00:01:48) - Both of the presenters start off with a brief introduction(00:03:22) - Do Interior Designers Have a Bad Reputation Among Contractors?(00:05:06) - Are Interior Designers Accused of Neglect?(00:05:54) - Do Interior Designers Have Prejudices About Their Jobs?(00:06:40) - Are Interior Designers Bad For Contractors?(00:11:02) - Projects and Construction Contractors(00:13:09) - Tender Process(00:16:41) - The quality of the Tender Pack(00:19:05) - Choosing a contractor(00:23:57) - Interior Designers: Do You Need a Contractor?(00:26:18) - Paul, have you ever refused to work with an interior designer on(00:28:26) - Paul and Joe: The Contractor Relationship(00:31:24) - How often do you need to go to site on a project?(00:32:59) - What's your biggest bugbear?(00:37:12) - Interiors Design: When Problems Occur, Do Designers Let(00:38:26) - What's the funniest, maddest thing a designer's(00:40:14) - The Worst Contractor Ever Do(00:42:26) - Inside The Interior Design Business Podcast

This Podcast Is Episode 647, And It's About FEA Contractor Success MAP Podcast Farewell Episode   Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Contractor Success MAP Podcast. I know it's been a while, but I didn't forget you. This is Norhalma, and today I'm here with a message that feels both bittersweet and full of hope. After more than a decade of serving contractors through Fast Easy Accounting… after countless conversations, resources, templates, job costing tips, and systems… today's episode marks the closing of a chapter — and the beginning of a brand-new one. This will be my final episode under the FEA Contractor Success MAP Podcast. But it is not the end of this journey. It is simply the next step forward. Whether you've been a long-time listener since Randal started this podcast, tuned in last year when I took over, or this is your first time, I want you to hear this message clearly and personally. Today is about gratitude, transition, and what comes next in 2026. First, thank you. Truly. To everyone who has listened over the years: Thank you for showing up. Thank you for learning, for growing, for improving your business, and for caring enough about your future to invest time in education. Contractors are the backbone of every community. You build the world around us — homes, roads, businesses, and safe spaces for families. Your work deserves tools and systems that support your success. Through the years, this podcast has tried to give you precisely that: Better job costing better bookkeeping habits better business clarity better workflows and practical steps to run a more profitable company And it has been an honor to be part of that journey. Why is this transition happening now? Fast Easy Accounting has reached the end of its chapter. The business is closing, and with it, the FEA-branded podcast comes to a natural end. At the same time, contractors' needs have evolved. Ten years ago, the most significant questions were: "How do I job cost properly?" "How do I keep my books clean?" "How do I avoid cash flow surprises?" Today, contractors ask: "How do I get better leads?" "How do I keep track of my quotes and jobs?" "Do I need a website?" "How do I manage all the digital tools?" "How do I make my business run smoother without working 80 hours a week?" The world changed. The industry changed. And the way contractors run their companies has changed. That's why I'm shifting my work into something new — something built for the modern contractor. Introducing Cobuildery – launching in 2026 Cobuildery is my new brand and focus. It's designed to help contractors build not just projects… but systems that support their entire business. Cobuildery will focus on: Contractor Websites Professional, clean, mobile-friendly sites that actually bring in leads — not just sit online. Website Care & Monthly Maintenance Plans Most contractors don't have the time or desire to deal with updates, plugins, hosting issues, or security. Contractor OBM (Online Business Manager) Services Ongoing support to help you handle: digital organization lead tracking communication systems workflows scheduling tools templates business structure This is the back-office support many contractors wish they had—and can now access. What happens to the podcast? This is not truly a goodbye. Instead, it's a pause. In 2026, the podcast will return — under the Cobuildery name. It will still be focused on contractor success, but with new topics that match what contractors need today: How to set up a contractor website that actually converts How to organize your digital tools How to track jobs without chaos How to simplify the business side How to market your contracting business How to build systems that save time and increase profit Same heart. Same mission. New tools. New energy. New chapter. If you've loved this podcast, you'll feel at home when we reopen in 2026. A message to long-time listeners. Some of you have been here since the earliest years of FEA. You've been through slow seasons, busy seasons, business transitions, challenges, and growth. And you've trusted this podcast to walk alongside you. I want you to know that trust means the world to me. You are the reason this podcast exists. You are the reason the next chapter exists. And I hope you'll join me when Cobuildery launches. What you can do next. If you want updates when the new Cobuildery podcast launches in 2026: Stay subscribed — the feed will update when the new show begins.

#674: Welcome to Greatest Hits Week – five days, five episodes from our vault, spelling out F-I-I-R-E. Today's letter R stands for Real Estate. This episode originally aired in May 2022, but the insights on long-distance investing remain just as relevant for anyone feeling priced out of their local market. We tackle the five biggest challenges of investing far from home – from fear of the unknown to managing contractors remotely – and reveal four compelling benefits that make it worth the effort, especially when you're competing in markets where million-dollar properties are the norm. ________ Remember when inflation was high and rates were rising? What were people saying about real estate back then? And with the benefit of hindsight, how much of what we thought at the time proved to be correct? If you feel unsettled, join the club. At this present moment – December 2025 – interest rates are falling, but not enough. Inflation is mostly under control, but not enough. The noise makes everything feel new. When you only see the present moment, everything looks obvious. When you remember the past, patterns start to show. That's why we're rewinding the clock back to May 2022 – when interest rates were rising and inflation was near its peak. So what was on our mind three years ago? We start with the basics. Why the Federal Reserve raises rates. What higher borrowing costs do to spending. Why falling stock prices often reflect fear – not proof that housing prices must fall next. We explain the difference between recession and deflation, and why the two are often confused. We walk through what made the housing market in 2022 different from 2008. Inventory was tight. Builders had not overbuilt. Many homeowners held fixed-rate mortgages and record levels of equity. Those conditions mattered then. They still matter now. That equity becomes the next focus. We talk about cash-out refinances, HELOCs, and reverse mortgages – and what happens when homeowners borrow against rising values. You hear how higher rates can slow borrowing, why that matters for inflation, and what risks appear if some borrowers struggle to repay. From there, we outline four ways investors might encounter properties if foreclosures rise: bank-owned homes, short sales, “subject to” deals, and wraparound mortgages. The episode then shifts to long-distance real estate investing. You hear the real challenges. Fear of the unknown. Managing people you cannot see. Contractors who disappear. Agents who stop returning calls. You also hear what makes distance workable: education, relationships, local investor networks. We walk through how investors think when conditions feel unstable — and why looking backward sharpens how you see what comes next.

Reach Out Via Text!In this episode of the Growing Green Podcast, Jeremiah shares a full keynote from January 2025 featuring Mark Bradley from the Roadmap to $1M online event. Mark explains why most contractors never reach $1M in revenue, starting with a lack of true financial awareness and control of the numbers. He walks through the importance of budgeting, estimating correctly, and job costing so business owners know exactly where profit is made or lost. Mark also breaks down why systems and SOPs are a continuous process and how documenting what success looks like makes hiring, training, and scaling far more manageable. The conversation highlights the importance of focusing on high margin services and revenue per hour rather than chasing all revenue. The keynote wraps with practical guidance on sales pipelines, key performance indicators, and what fundamentally changes when a business grows from $1M to $3M.Support the show 10% off LMN Software- https://lmncompany.partnerlinks.io/growinggreenpodcast Signup for our Newsletter- https://mailchi.mp/942ae158aff5/newsletter-signup Book A Consult Call-https://stan.store/GrowingGreenPodcast Lawntrepreneur Academy-https://www.lawntrepreneuracademy.com/ The Landscaping Bookkeeper-https://thelandscapingbookkeeper.com/ Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/growinggreenlandscapes/ Email-ggreenlandscapes@gmail.com Growing Green Website- https://www.growinggreenlandscapes.com/
