Ever wonder what it takes to build a dream home without hammering your budget, or your sanity? On this week's TLC, Tend Life Community, we're nailing it down with custom home builder Nick Carey of Carey Homes. He shares where to start, what mistakes to avoid, and how to spot a contractor who might be cutting corners. We also talk trendsetting vs. timeless design: should you embrace that must-have look or steer clear before it feels dated? And of course, Nick reveals his favorite room in the house and a local hidden gem you won't want to miss. Whether you're planning a remodel or just curious about the world of custom builds, this episode hammers home the details you need.

Serve first. Win later. You will learn that and more in this episode of The Ripple Effect Podcast. Our special guest for today is entrepreneur and general contractor Bo Jones. Bo is a builder by trade, but even more so, he's a builder of futures. As the CEO of CareerPathway.com, Bo is leading a movement that's reimagining how we connect talent with opportunity. On a mission to radically simplify college and career exploration, he's helping students, job seekers, employers, and educators navigate a clearer, smarter path to success. His inspiration? Real pain points like watching his construction company pour time and money into outdated recruiting strategies with little return, and witnessing firsthand how difficult it is for his own kids to find purpose in their career journeys. Bo also serves as President of Tru-Built Construction, a full-scale design/build construction firm with decades of success in residential and commercial development. But he's more than a successful entrepreneur; he's a passionate problem-solver who understands the disconnect between education and employment. He built CareerPathway.com out of pure necessity to streamline the process, amplify exposure for schools and businesses, and give individuals something they've been craving all along: clarity and confidence about their futures. If you're tired of workforce challenges, struggling talent pipelines, and missed connections in hiring and education, this podcast will feel like a breath of fresh air. Bold, approachable, and relentlessly motivated, Bo brings powerful insights and straight-talk solutions to anyone looking to build something meaningful for themselves, their teams, or their communities. Bo shares how showing clients every bid, budget, and line item upfront creates trust and transparency, and how that model fuels repeat and referral business. We talk about the highs and the lows, and how strong client relationships make all the difference.  Get ready to hear what happens when innovation meets action and why Bo believes we're just getting started.   Ripple with Bo Jones LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bo-jones/ Websites: careerpathway.com, tru-built.net   Ripple with Steve Harper Instagram: http://instagram.com/rippleon Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rippleon X: https://twitter.com/rippleon Website: http://www.ripplecentral.com Stay in the loop by being a part of the Ripple mail list: https://ripplecentral.com/subscribe Be a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/SteveHarper Join our ever-growing community of Ripplers in The Pond: https://ripplecentral.com/pond To inquire about my availability for conference keynotes, corporate training, or performance coaching, please contact info@ripplecentral.com.   #Construction #Trades #Entrepreneurship #WorkforceDevelopment #CareerExploration #CustomHomes #Multifamily #OpenBookConstruction #Nebraska
