In this deeply personal episode of The Build Show Podcast, host Matt Risinger opens up about his 20-year business journey, sharing hard-won lessons about debt, financial struggles, and the path to recovery. As he reflects on three significant anniversaries - 20 years in business, 10 years debt-free, and 15 years since accumulating massive debt - Matt provides a candid warning to fellow builders about the dangers of speculative building and overleveraging.Matt recounts his early days starting Risinger Build in 2005, moving to Texas without connections and turning to spec homes to build his reputation. What began as calculated risks quickly spiraled into financial catastrophe during the 2007-2008 recession, ultimately leaving him $300,000 in debt and on the verge of bankruptcy. He shares the painful reality of paying $7,000 monthly for four years to dig out of debt, the strain on his marriage and family, and the spiritual journey that helped him persevere.This episode serves as both a cautionary tale and an inspiration, demonstrating how contentment, faith, and disciplined financial management can lead to recovery. Matt emphasizes the importance of avoiding the trap of comparing yourself to clients' lifestyles and the dangers of using debt to fund desires rather than necessities. Now completely debt-free except for his mortgage, Matt offers practical wisdom for builders and entrepreneurs about sustainable business growth and the true cost of financial overextension. Thank you to episode sponsors Aquor Water Systems and Champion.

Monique Rodriguez's journey is one of resilience, purpose, and bold reinvention. She dedicated nearly a decade to healthcare as a registered nurse, but the loss of her son in 2013 shifted everything. In the wake of that tragedy, Monique found clarity—and the courage to follow a lifelong passion for beauty. With no formal business background, she launched Mielle Organics from her kitchen and built it into one of the fastest-growing textured haircare brands in the country.Now, Mielle Organics is not only a staple in major retailers like Target, Walmart, and CVS, but also a study in authentic brand-building. Her approach is rooted in community, education, and transparency. As the CEO, she's built trust by simply being herself—from going live every day during the pandemic to letting customers weigh in on packaging decisions. She's also navigated the complex world of retail expansion by knowing when to say no and when to scale up.In 2021, Mielle took on private equity for the first time. Just 18 months later, she and her COO, who happens to be her husband, Melvon, sold the company to P&G — but not before making sure the deal would preserve the integrity of the brand. Monique still runs the company today, and she's focused on building a legacy, not just a business. Monique recently added “author” to her list of titles with a book that helps people find purpose in their own stories. She lives in Chicago with her family, where she balances leading a global brand with slow mornings, warm lemon water, and staying grounded in faith.Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction [07:52] Starting a business without experience or connections[08:34] Learning the business side and asking for help[09:20] The challenge of raising capital as a Black female founder[10:10] Bootstrapping Mielle before taking on funding[10:59] Why Monique turned down Walmart the first time[12:30] Building long-term sustainability, not short-term hype[13:00] How Mielle went viral with rosemary mint oil[13:44] Creating viral moments through authenticity[14:22] Building trust through storytelling and transparency[15:05] Turning customers into community[15:42] How Monique stayed present online without burning out[16:19] The power of community to support during backlash[18:52] The emotional link between beauty and customer loyalty[19:30] Building real connections at trade shows[20:02] Standing out in a crowded beauty industry[20:50] How community building helped attract investors[21:32] Education as a brand differentiator[22:10] Creating emotional experiences around products[23:02] Going big at trade shows to make a lasting impression[23:55] Using experience to fuel word-of-mouth marketing[25:10] Sharing behind-the-scenes with her community[27:20] Handling criticism and negativity online[28:13] Protecting mental health while being a public founder[31:12] The reality of criticism for successful female founders[31:58] Taking on private equity from Berkshire Partners[32:44] Why Monique wanted to maintain majority ownership[33:40] Finding the right kind of investor partnership[34:21] What to look for in a private equity deal[35:04] Planning for an eventual acquisition[35:40] How fast the P&G acquisition came together[37:06] Choosing the right partner over the highest bidder[39:30] Benefits of selling to a strategic like P&G[40:18] Brand globalization and new opportunities[40:50] Access to better ingredients and scientific resources[43:48] Balancing business and marriage[46:00] Monique's slow morning routine[49:18] Key lessons around mindset, faith, and perseveranceResources Mentioned:The Glory in Your Story by Monique Rodriguez | Book or AudiobookMielle Organics | WebsiteP&G | WebsiteBerkshire Partners | WebsiteFollow Nancy Twine:Instagram: @nancytwinewww.nancytwine.comFollow Makers Mindset:Instagram: @makersmindsetspaceTikTok: @themakersmindsetwww.makersmindset.com

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dexter B. Jenkins. He is a Pastor, real estate entrepreneur, financial strategist, and host of Let’s Talk Real Estate. He is also the author of the newly published The Real Estate Wealth Creator Blueprint: Keys to Overcoming Fear, lack of Money, and Inexperience to Possess the Land. “The Real Estate Wealth Creator Blueprint by Dexter B. Jenkins isn’t your typical feel-good faith and finance book. It’s a wake-up call, plain and simple. For far too long, many believers have been trapped by misguided notions that faith and wealth don’t mix, or worse, that seeking financial success is somehow ‘unholy.’ Dexter blows that myth out of the water. As a pastor and financial mentor, he challenges you to stop limiting God’s abundance with a middle-class mindset. Real estate is the tool, but your faith is the engine that drives wealth creation. This book forces you to confront your beliefs about money, faith, and God's will—and if you’re not ready for that, this book isn't for you. But if you’re tired of playingsmall and are ready to align your beliefs with action, The Real Estate Wealth Creator Blueprint is the no-nonsense guide that will take you there." #BEST #STRAW #SHMS Support the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
