"When things are going well, it's exciting. When they're not, you don't know where the bottom is."In this episode, entrepreneur, author, and developer Jose Berlanga and I discuss navigating complexity and leadership lessons learned from childhood adversity and many years of leading through high-stakes moments. We specifically discuss the importance of calculated risk-taking, building resilient teams, creating contingency plans, and the difference between leadership under pressure and micromanaging out of fear. In high-stakes moments, success often hinges not on avoiding risk, but on knowing which ones are worth taking, and leading with conviction when the path forward is unclear.Key Takeaways:--> Discomfort is ConstantLeading through difficulty isn't an exception—it's the norm, especially in entrepreneurship.--> Risk as a Way of LifeEarly adversity can build resilience; successful leaders develop a tolerance for discomfort and pressure.--> Preparation > PredictionContingency planning is critical. Leaders can't afford denial or false optimism in crisis moments.--> Delegation is a SkillLet go of tasks incrementally, starting with repetitive, non-critical areas. Avoid micromanaging.--> Team PowerBuild a proactive team that can think and act independently. Leadership shifts you from doing to coordinating.--> Short-Term vs. Long-Term ThinkingIn crises, long-term strategy narrows to survival mode—prioritize urgent, essential tasks.This episode will help you navigate those complex, high-stakes moments with more clarity, confidence, and ease. Listen in!---Jose Berlanga, an entrepreneur from Mexico City with over 35 years of experience, has made a significant mark in Houston's real estate industry, notably through co-founding Tricon Homes. His diverse background, including degrees in Business Administration, Economics, and Philosophy, has fueled his success in various sectors, making him a source of inspiration and mentorship in the business community. He is the author of The Business of Home Building and is working on his second book.You can connect with him or learn more at https://joseberlanga.com, on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jose-berlanga-900a9518/), Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/authorjoseberlanga), or Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/authorjoseberlanga/).

In this episode of Media Core Minute, Josh sits down with Peter Dokken, a real estate expert with a fresh perspective on homebuilding. But this isn't about luxury homes or massive budgets; we're talking about realistic options for first-time homebuyers. Peter breaks down how building your own home in 2025 might actually be more affordable than buying, especially in today's market. They cover common misconceptions, where the real cost savings are, and how young buyers or growing families can take advantage of opportunities in new construction. If you're thinking about buying a home or just trying to figure out what makes the most sense financially, this is a conversation worth listening to.

If you're going to be the “Something of Something,” it is not bad to be the Trader Joe's of homebuilding. You are big but not too big. You're known for high quality and attentive service, but instead of ringing a bell for someone who just bought a bottle of that delicious almond sparkling wine, you have a key ceremony for someone who just bought a brand-new house. Beazer Homes CEO Allan Merrill joins us on the latest New Home Insights podcast to take a deep dive into Beazer's strategy in our ever-changing and always-challenging housing market.

Send us a textThe rural exodus is real. As more families flee city living for country tranquility, they're encountering unfamiliar territory: well water and septic systems. This candid conversation tackles everything you need to know about the financial realities of rural utilities.We dive deep into the numbers that matter. That initial sticker shock of $5,000-$10,000 for well drilling and another $3,000-$12,000 for septic installation might seem daunting, but the long-term math tells a different story. Our personal experience reveals how our water bills dropped by half after moving to the country, while our property taxes plummeted from over $1,000 to just $460 annually for 43 acres. The financial advantage becomes clear with a break-even point averaging 10 years compared to ever-increasing city utility costs.Beyond dollars and cents, country living delivers freedom that city dwellers can only dream about. No municipal restrictions means you can raise chickens, practice target shooting on your property, or skip mowing without neighborhood complaints. However, responsibility shifts entirely to you—from occasional septic pumping to well maintenance when problems arise. We share real-world experiences pulling well pumps (a genuine workout!) and navigating rural infrastructure challenges, giving you the unfiltered truth about country living's pros and cons.
