She partners with developers, subcontractors, and the larger development community to build multi-family and mixed-use housing across the Bay Area.

Host Anya Chrisanthon interviews Tag Gilkeson, an IBS veteran who shares his top tips for making the most out of your experience at the International Builders' Show 2024 in Las Vegas. They discuss how to plan your schedule, which events not to miss, navigating the massive show floor, wearing comfortable shoes, networking opportunities, and more advice for first-time and returning attendees. Anya and Tag also talk about the issues they are working on through their involvement with NAHB leadership.Tag originally got started in the real estate and construction industry in 1999 after he obtained his Texas REALTOR license. At the time his primary business focus was in investment real estate. After watching other investors become successful, it was an easy transition into buying real estate and flipping houses on his own. His portfolio Include several fix & flips and rental properties along the way. This led to starting a General Contracting company and building spec homes for investors and homeowners to purchase or lease.In 2009, Tag turned his attention to gaining more knowledge in his field. He obtained anAssociate's degree in Architecture and a Bachelor's degree in Construction Management. He was ranked in the top three of his class at graduation while also obtaining a personal recommendation from the program chair.Having gained knowledge and experience in his field he decided that it was best to give back to the industry. He did this several ways, but initially he served as a board member for the North Dallas Collin County Division Board (NDCC) for the Dallas Builders Association (DBA). He served for 2 years on the board from 2014 to 2016. Being involved in a membership organization like the DBA allowed him the benefits of taking advantage of their education opportunities. As he attended more classes, therewas a window of opportunity to gain professional designations within the industry.At this time, he has eleven (12) designations recognized by the NAHB, and two (2) designations that are local to the DBA. These include Certified Graduate Builder (CGB), Graduate Master Builder (GMB), Certified Graduate Remodeler (CGR), Graduate Master Remodeler (GMR), Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS), Certified Green Professional (CGP), Master Certified Green Professional (MCGP), Certified Graduate Associate (CGA), Certified New Home Sales Professional (CSP), Master Certified New Home Sales Professional (MCSP), Certified New Home Marketing Professional (CMP),Master in Residential Marketing (MIRM), Green Sales Professional (GSP), Tag utilizes these designations on his website, business cards, and on LinkedIn to set himself apart from the competition.Tag currently owns a Design/Build firm called Tag & Associates, LLC where he works with homeowners, remodelers, and builders drawing full construction plans in 3D. With the industry growing toward new technology, Virtual Reality was an extremely easy add on to services to offer to the more distinguished clientele. What VR has done is begun to eliminate the need for field changes and allows for a design that everyone is happy with but has also maintained budget constraints and maximized livability.

I get it, you value the opinion of your people when you do things. You want to make them proud and you want to make sure you're doing the right things for them. Sometimes the right thing for them is a long term play that only you can see visualy so you'll get hate and criticism for it. You must draw a fine line where you don't give a fuck what people think about what you do, that's if you truly belive in your mission.  The game is difficult on it's own but adding to it other people's opinion of what you're trying to do makes it much more difficult. Most of the closest people to you with talk shit to you or try to unmotivate you to start and build this business that you have a vision for. The people you think that will support you will probably be the last ones to support you and other people you'll meet along the journey that are strangers wil be the first ones to get in line to support you. This isn't always the case though.     Don't regret not attending our 1-Day Bootcamp on November 3rd in Austin, Tx.

A little throwback to one of my favorite episodes of Construction Royalty. It's one of my favorite because personal development is something that overlooked and that rarely anyone takes serious. It's also the most important part of the trades. Enjoy!   Personal Development in the trades is one of the most underrated things in the industry. 95% of the peoplein the construction industry don't focus on this and we believe it's a huge issue that needs to be addressed. The reason we believe this is because working inside of the construction industry is one of the toughest and most difficult jobs you can have that will drain your body physically over time. If you don't take of your mental and physical health, then the job will become more difficult over time. I grew up in the indutry since I was 10 years old and I've seen this play out in the long run for many people and it isn't pretty. Personal devolopment includes: reading books, daily stretching, lifting weights, meditation, journaling, drinking plenty of water daily, limiting alcohol and smoking and whatever else you think will help you not just out in the field but in life in general. Listen to get other ideas on improving your life!   RSVP to our one-day bootcamp on November 3rd in Austin, Tx. Special limited offer, 2 tickets for the price of one for $297!

I believe there's a correct and incorrect way to build connections in the industry. There's also small and big events all around town and it's difficult to figure out which of these events would be most beneficial. I've been to events of all sizes with people from various different industries and I've seen my fair share of the differences. I really like the small intimate events because you can get more personal to everyone. Whether these are $20 10-person events hosted by a small level entrepreneur or a $20,000 10-person event hosted by one of the biggest names in the industry, the smaller the event the better the connections you can make.   Connect with us!

Yahara Vasquez owns and operates Built By Her Construction @building_by_her out of Carson, Washington. With a degree in architectural engineering, she's decided that the jobs that came with the degree were not for her. She loves working with her hands. Between that and wanting to be more available for her children, Yahara built her own home and she started a contracting company. She's doing some work for the public but venturing into spec home building. While she says her role at home is fairly traditional, her career path is anything but traditional given her Mexican heritage. She  doesn't care because she wants young girls to see her in that position and is organizing to have young women to work Saturdays on her spec to learn skilled trades. I can't wait to check in with Yahara Vasquez in a couple years to see where she's gone!   Host: Mike Knoche Website: The Contracting HandbookInstagram: @thecontractinghandbookYouTube: @thecontractinghandbookTikTok: @tchmikeknoche Contribute:Venmo: Mike-Knoche-1 Email: info@thecontractinghandbook.com Guest: Yahara VasquezInstagram: @building_by_her Facilitating new construction company startups, supporting the building community with new ideas and affirmation, and ushering in the next generation of builders is the mission of The Contracting Handbook podcast.

Meet Joe Canning aka @canadiancarpenter and hear the story of how a guy with a degree in 3D graphic arts leaves that life behind for a career in skilled trades. With a wife, four mouths to feed, and no work available in his field, Joe went to work as the laborer under 13 framers..it's another case of the 4-year degree fallacy. So tune into to hear about Joe as an apprentice and the journey to the beard we all know and love. Then, we take a stab at the impact of Instagram influencing on the industry as a whole. At the end of the day, Joe wants to make the framing process easier for anyone willing to listen and learn. He's been reviewing tools long before Instagram was a thing and points out some flaws in that sort of promotion. Is he teaching the kids if its cool to be in the trades or that its cool to be an influencer. We don't dwell on the labor deficit but take a look the reasons why it seems like “everyone is soft”. We were raised to be tough but that has lead to a generation of parents that don't challenge their kids.  Joe is not afraid to talk about his ADHD. It's not a block. It's just a different way of thinking. He also empathizes with those suffering from anxiety but you got to deal with it in what ever way possible. Bottom line: Discipline, people!  Please leave us a review on Apple  Podcasts if you have an iPhone or on Podchaser if you are an Android to help spread the word about this 100% Independently Recorded and Produced Construction Podcast!

  “I'm tired of tearing shit down,” says Montae Russell. “Let me build something up.” This kind of constructive, uplifting mindset is often heard on the Drinking Partners podcast, but never quite so literally. Montae is one-half of the husband and wife duo behind Russell General Contracting (5:50). He's lead carpenter; Alexis works as consultant. Together, they have helped to preserve Pittsburgh, and the nation's, cultural heritage, working on both the National Negro Opera House and the August Wilson House. Not only are Alexis and Tae savvy small business owners, but they're parents, too. (They even have some chickens.) Their personal journey is intertwined with their entrepreneurial path, and they share their one-of-a-kind tale over drinks with Day and Ed.    Guests: Montae and Alexis Russell of Russell General Contracting.

Talk about dedication to team building, creating opportunity to learn skilled trades, and the future of craftsman, carpenter by trade, Joe Mitchell of Finish Point Trim.  Finish Point has an incredible apprenticeship program and, if you think it sounds great, they are happy to share their blueprint with you. A testament to their dedication to recruiting more young people into the skilled trades.   We dive into the idea that some people are unteachable, what it takes to coach, and why it ultimately boils down to our leadership. Joe Mitchell believes in having employee agreements instead of the standard set of rules. It there is a rotten apple, they escalate quickly to place them back in the open market rather than “horde a problem”. On clients, its on us to learn to serve them how they want, intently listening and executing. We serve to educate as well, and when they are wrong, we let them be wrong with dignity. This is one of the most inspiring talks about leadership and the need to focus on skilled trades that I have had to date.

Here you'll meet the tradespeople who took a leap of faith from working their craft to running the own construction company. You'll meet people who left lucrative careers to enter the trades. For newcomers to running a construction business, there is a ton of advice on “how to” run your contracting company. For established contractors, you get to meet other industry leaders and get behind the scenes of their business and stay up to date with industry change. Mike Knoche, your host, keeps the conversation interesting. He's been operating his contracting business for over 15 years in the oddly wonderful, Fairbanks, Alaska. Mike's philosophy is “we are all experts in how we build where we live, but the business basics and business management are universal”. Join us for this global conversation on operating a construction company, mental health, cool projects, and construction industry progress. Please leave us a review on Apple  Podcasts if you have an iPhone or on Podchaser if you are an Android to help spread the word about this 100% Independently Recorded and Produced Construction Podcast!

Our mission is to help participants obtain their General Contractors License, as they prepare to develop the skillsets and abilities necessary to become sought after Licensed Contractors. We plan to engage in this by providing a tangible training-based opportunity designed to introduce them to the various process and practices associated with becoming successful Licensed General Contractors. We will also introduce them to the social entrepreneurship principles that are essential in developing healthy communities. Participants will receive tactical instruction, classroom guidance along with field exposure on the nuances of single-family home construction while learning the established principles gained from over 15+ years of active practice in the field of General Contracting. Participants will be instructed on the steps necessary to obtain a license to practice General Contracting in the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Participants will be assisted in creating an Action Plan towards utilizing their General Contractors License and skills gained from attending the Pugh Builders General Contractors Academy to establish a niche in the rewarding career of Custom Home Building. Retirees, Veterans and Entrepreneurs are welcome. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bj-murphy9/support

Jazmine Mendoza joined Retiz Electric in June 2022 when she recently moved to Austin, Tx from Virginia. Not knowing anybody in Austin but hungry to learn and advance in the industry, she showed what she brought to the table and her willingness to learn and work hard in the field.  Being a female in the trades is becoming more common as the years go by and she plans to inspire more women to get into the trades as it's a very rewarding career if you work hard.  We dive into a lot of things in this episode from the bullshit going on in this country, to construction, to personal development, to the hobby of collecting cigars for the podcast studio. You'll hear more of her on this show as she will be a regualar on here!
