In this episode of the Build Show Podcast, Matt Risinger sits down with South Dakota builder Josh Stange—featured in the premiere of Building Across America—to dive deep into what it really takes to build high-performance homes in rural America. A true one-man show, Josh not only designs, frames, and insulates his projects but recently shocked the team with a .18 ACH50 blower door result—before mechanicals. Together, Matt and Josh explore the details behind this incredible feat, from innovative Zip System ceiling air barriers to cost challenges with skeptical clients. Whether you're building in big cities or small towns, this episode is a must-listen for pros seeking durability, craftsmanship, and airtight performance without the big crew. Insightful, technical, and surprisingly relatable—this story will change how you see "small" builders. Find Matt and The Build Show on the web:Build Show Videos: https://buildshownetwork.com/go/mattrisingerInstagram: @risingerbuild and @thebuildshowYouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@buildshowWebsite: https://buildshownetwork.com/ Save the Date for Build Show LIVE 2025 in Dallas, TX: October 16-18, 2025!Don't miss a single episode of Build Show content.

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.

In this episode of the Build Show Podcast, host Matt Risinger is joined by Lydia Crowder, better known as "Drywall Shorty," a seasoned second-generation drywall contractor from Bozeman, Montana. Together, they dive into the secrets of achieving flawless drywall results, focusing on the critical details that set high-quality builders apart from the competition. Lydia emphasizes the importance of proper framing, noting that uneven or crooked framing creates challenges that cannot be fully corrected with shims or mud. Climate control is another essential factor, as drywall and its compounds are highly sensitive to changes in moisture and temperature. Without consistent conditions, builders risk issues like swelling, shrinkage, or screw pops that compromise the finish. The conversation also explores the growing demand for modern architectural designs, such as floor-to-ceiling windows and clean, minimalist interiors, which leave little room to hide imperfections. Matt and Lydia discuss the value of temporary jobsite conditioning, such as using air conditioning in hot, humid climates or dehumidifiers in wet conditions, to ensure materials remain stable and perform as expected. Lydia shares practical advice on pre-drywall inspections, framing techniques, and the use of engineered lumber, all aimed at producing high-quality, lasting results. The episode highlights Lydia's extensive expertise and her role as an educator in the construction industry, where she has built a significant online following. Matt also promotes the upcoming Build Show Live event in Austin, Texas, where industry experts and educators will gather to share insights and foster growth within the building community.

When a family of any type needs a refresh, we naturally suggest an escape to nature! When a doctor, who knows health, and a home builder, who knows construction, get together to find escapes for their family... what do they look for in an RV and in destinations? We sat down with Matt Risinger of Risinger Build fame on YouTube, and his wife, Dr. Christy Risinger, MD. who also shares on YouTube (Christy Risinger, MD) to learn about their RVing journey and decision-making. Bonus personality, Tim Hill, the general contractor friend who advised the Risinger family when they were hunting for their first family RV, also joins us to inspire us to find the many reasons travel and RVing is so valuable!  

In today's show, Reuben, Bill, and Tessa talk about urinals, spray form, and tiled showers. Bill shares that his cabin is in the phase where they are finishing the bathrooms. Reuben remembers that the urinal (http://www.structuretech1.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Urinal.jpg) he installed in the basement of his last home helped sell the house. They discuss using a waterproof foam board and a cement board behind the surrounding tiles and how they can potentially be damaged. Also, Reuben mentions that there are changes in the building and plumbing code. They also talk about exterior walls and exterior finishes in Bill's cabin and the materials they are using. Reuben discusses the importance of staining all six sides of every board to stay flat. He also talks about ''nogging'' to prevent the wall from bowing and the studs from moving in the interior load-bearing walls. Tessa shares about the permeability and water resistance of spray foams and how to seal out moisture and soil gases. Reuben mentions a vlog by Matt Risinger titled Water Testing Spray Foam Insulation (https://youtu.be/H6jiGKOSABo). They also give recommendations on how to vapor-seal the bedrock that the cabin is built on. They share the construction challenges of their relatives and neighbors. Reuben expresses that it's difficult to draw the line when visiting a friend's house, noticing alarming parts of the house, and not reacting. Then he and Tessa share their experiences.

What You Will Learn: What a seasoned expert looks for in a building product and manufacturer In the latest episode of GWP’s Constructing Brands podcast, we speak with Matt Risinger, host of The Build Show and Founder of Risinger Build. Matt offers us insights in how he’s selected certain building materials and the process by which he tests and vets them for use on his project. Matt’s goal is to elevate the standards of the building industry. Learn what he looks for in his relationship with building manufacturers. About Matt Risinger Matt Risinger received his Bachelor’s of Science in Industrial Management from Grove City College. He worked for one of the National Production Builders (NVR Ryan Homes) after college where he met his Texan wife in Washington, DC. His 7-year experience with National Production Builders was fun, but didn’t satisfy his desire for “Craftsmanship”. In 2002, he and his family moved to Portland, OR in 2002 during the national mold crisis which led him down the path of Building Science. He wanted to understand why these homes were failing. This helped him learn about the science behind the construction and it’s been his passion ever since. After moving to Texas in 2005, he worked exclusively with architects to build the very best in home craftsmanship using products and skills he can stand behind.

Jake and Steve welcome special guest Matt Risinger to discuss how building science has affected his business.

SUMMARY: This episode of the DYB Podcast is called "Fanocracy: Turning fans into customers with David Meerman Scott". Today, Steve Burnett and David sit down to discuss fandom culture and how any business can grow by cultivating a devoted and loyal group around fandom culture. David shares that showing your passions to your existing and potential customers is the key to creating a genuine human connection. In this way, you gain positive brand recall that makes you stand out from the crowd. He also shares 3 actionable tips that you can apply to your own painting business today. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: 3 Strategies to Implement in Your Business Today to Build Fanocracy How Fanocracy Builds a True Human Connection and Why How One Contractor Built a $20 Million Business Utilizing Fanocracy QUOTES: 07:12 "Building fans is all about a true human connection. We spoke with neuroscientists to find out what's going on in our brains when we become a fan of something and it turns out all of us are hardwired in our DNA, in our ancient brains, to want to be part of a tribe of people, to be part of a group of people because that's when we feel safe." 08:16 “Passion is infectious-even if you don’t share the same passion. 09:05 "Here's what this means for painting contractors is, the more you can share what you love with your existing and your potential customers, the more they have an opportunity to bond with you as a human being, not just as a painter." 13:21 "The lesson here, I think, for painting contractors is... it doesn't have to be skateboarding obviously, it should be whatever you're passionate about. But show what you do in your off time. Show what you do in your life. Show perhaps what your family does. What do you do when you go on vacation? Show that on social networks, show that on your website." 17:34 "Everybody listening in here probably has something they love, whether it's a sports team they love or a hobby they have or some physical activity they love to do or whatever it is on their off time that, should you be able to showcase that, allows you to stand out from the crowd. And you're not just the painter. You're the painter who loves to birdwatch or whatever it is." 26:08 "I mentioned earlier the closer you get to someone, the more powerful the human connection. So video and photographs are very powerful if they're shot within about 4 feet away and you're looking directly at the camera and because our brain processes that, intellectually we know it's on a video or photograph, but our ancient brain, our subconscious brain, processes it as if you were right next to that person. Which is exactly why we feel we know movie stars because of mirror neurons." 27:27 Matt Risinger in Texas built his contracting business from zero to 20 million and he credits me completely with the advice to record videos from 3 feet away or less. He has more than ½ a million subscribers to his YouTuber channel. 30:39 "The [first thing] I would do right away is, number 1, take a look at your externally-facing website, your social media and make sure, number 1, that you're eliminating all the images and words that make you generic. If you're using stock photos of houses and buildings, you should be removing them. You should use real photos of buildings and houses that you've painted." 31:16 "I actually recommend going from third person that's talking like, “We are such and such a painting contractor and we operate in the Boston area, that kind of thing, to 'I'. I've been painting for the last 20 years. I've been running this business. My customers etc. Go from third person to first person."

It takes more than a good HVAC system to deliver comfort.   In this episode of the Building HVAC Science podcast, Bill Spohn speaks with Robert Bean about the science of true human comfort. Some of his concepts are brutally logical and may cause you to rethink your approach to selling or delivering comfort. Find out what he calls “the pet rock” of construction.   Robert is a seasoned technologist, researcher and construction professional whose mantra is “Design for People; Good Buildings Will Follow.” Listen to his perspectives on code grade construction versus construction that delivers full environmental comfort. He states that a key element is to learn the language of comfort before exploring too far.   Robert will dialog with you for free via LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertbeanret/.
