AI agents are not as complicated as they sound, and Peter Ranney and Elliott Wittstruck of DataX are proof. They walk through exactly how remodelers are using AI agents inside JobTread right now to automatically clean up field notes, process receipts, cost jobs, and land a daily project health report in their inbox every evening. They also share a seven-level framework for AI adoption that takes all the pressure off and helps you figure out exactly where to start! If you have been curious about AI but not sure where to begin, this one gives you a clear and practical first step.—Today's episode is sponsored by Builder Funnel! Click here to learn more about how Builder Funnel helps remodelers and home builders grow through strategic digital marketing.Explore the vast array of tools, training courses, a podcast, and a supportive community of over 2,000 remodelers. Visit Remodelersontherise.com today and take your remodeling business to new heights!—Key TakeawaysStart with a specific problem, not AI itself.Think micro. Small use cases create big wins.AI is not a magic button. It takes time to learn.AI agents work automatically without manual prompts.Reporting is one of the most valuable AI applications.Better data in = better insights out.Focus on your current level of AI adoption.Don't let AI distract you from serving clients and improving your business.—-Chapters00:00 Introduction and Background06:39 Managing Multiple Ventures10:16 Interacting with AI: The Basics12:09 Automation and AI Agents14:38 Practical Applications of AI in Business19:40 Email Automation and Receipt Processing21:52 Job Performance Analysis with AI24:52 Self-Updating AI Agents26:43 AI Models and Security Concerns29:34 Advanced AI Prompts and Use Cases34:18 Creating Contracts and Estimates with AI38:16 Bridging the Knowledge Gap in AI40:13 Understanding AI Levels of Interaction49:21 Future of AI in Business

Everyone keeps telling contractors they'll be out of business in six months if they don't adopt AI. The reality is calmer than that—and a lot more useful. In this episode of the Contractor Growth Network podcast, Logan Shinholser sits down with Peter Ranney and Elliott Wittstruck, the founders of DataX, an AI optimization company built specifically for contractors running JobTread. Peter and Elliott come from the remodeling world themselves, and DataX started as a hodgepodge of tools they built to solve their own problems—Peter brute-forcing automations in Zapier, Elliott writing code for cash flow projection calendars. They walk through how those scrappy internal tools turned into a software company, and why the goal was never to build a business so much as to build helpful things and share them. Along the way they break down what AI actually does well in a construction business right now: receipt processing that runs while you sleep, a grammar checker that turns "bathroom color?" into a question a high-end client will actually respect, and connecting your phone system, Gmail, and Zillow data into JobTread as a single source of truth. Frontier models like Claude and ChatGPT will "brute force" a vague prompt by burning huge amounts of tokens and time—sometimes 15 to 20 minutes per question. DataX pre-defines the construction logic and JobTread tools on the back end so the same task runs 20 to 50 times more efficiently. Peter and Elliott also get into the misconceptions—the FOMO, the trap of solving problems that don't exist, and why you can't outrun a business with foundations that aren't set up yet. If you've been told AI is going to leave you behind but you don't know where to actually start, this episode gives you a grounded, contractor-specific way to think about it.  Timestamps 00:00  —  Meet Peter and Elliott, the founders of DataX 01:22  —  Peter's origin story: from BuilderTrend to JobTread to Zapier 08:09  —  Elliott's path: band director, self-taught coder, family business 14:07  —  The biggest misconception: FOMO and solving problems that don't exist 14:46  —  Only 0.4% of the world pays for AI—you're not behind 17:12  —  How DataX acts as guardrails between you and JobTread 18:25  —  The massive system prompt behind DataX (20–50x more efficient) 33:27  —  The bread aisle analogy: buy tools, don't build everything 46:23  —  The most-used workflow: the receipt processor 01:01:37  —  Final thoughts: have AI tell the humans what to do

Most remodelers know how much they're spending on marketing, but far fewer know which channels are actually driving revenue. Spencer breaks down Pillar 5 of the Remodeler Growth Framework: Measure. You'll learn how to track your marketing from click to close, build a simple scorecard that reveals what's working (and what's wasting money), and make smarter decisions about where to invest your budget. If you've ever wondered whether your SEO, Google Ads, social media, referrals, or home shows are truly paying off, this episode will help you stop guessing and start measuring what matters.

In this episode, Kai and Spencer reflect on the rapid evolution of AI search platforms and their impact on marketing strategies. They explore key platforms like Google AI overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini, discussing how businesses can optimize their content for AI visibility, the importance of brand sentiment and share of voice, and tactical tips for leveraging AI in marketing.

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Peter Becker from the  Biomedical Center Munich about his successful career in Epigenetics, where he discovered the chromatin remodeler ISWI and dosage compensation complex MOF. Dr. Becker shares thoughts about his postdoctoral work with Carl Wu, where he developed embryo extract systems for studying chromatin assembly and transcription. He explains how work on Drosophila extracts led to the purification of ATP-dependent remodeling factors, including ISWI-related complexes, and how these studies showed that such factors slide nucleosomes and help organize chromatin. We also cover his move to EMBL and later to Munich, where his lab expanded into dosage compensation in Drosophila. He describes work on the MSL complex targeting, MRE sequences, ROX RNA, DNA shape features, and how biochemical reconstitution was used to study how the complex recognizes the X chromosome. Finally, we discuss his later work on TIP-60 and histone acetylation, including acetylome studies, and his reflections on leadership roles at EMBL and on the use of the term epigenetics. He emphasizes that epigenetics should be understood as one layer among genetics, environment, and socialization, not as a replacement for genetics. References Tsukiyama, T., Becker, P. B., & Wu, C.

Mike and Trey Farley host the Luxury Outdoor Living Podcast and interview Sean of Deck Remodelers from Northern New Jersey about his background from an Irish carpentry family through construction and culinary school to specializing in high-end decks since 2007–08. Sean describes winning 70+ national design awards, focusing on team-building, and advising homeowners to start with an honest budget rather than bidding games, then vet contractors by details and materials (steel framing, premium PVC, fewer posts, better beams). He explains his in-house architects and exterior-focused interior designers, custom fabrication and board bending for curved decks and stairs, full-yard design/GC scope, VR walkthroughs, and standardized training via “Deck Remodelers University.” Topics include fire features and clearances, covered spaces, lighting and electric infrared heaters (Infotech), under-deck drainage (Haven Under Deck), code/climate considerations like frost depth, and common remodel failures from inadequate blocking. He also discusses NADRA's education/community, his book and favorite book “Die With Zero,” and a road-trip ride to Niagara Falls.   Discover more: https://deckremodelers.com/ https://www.farleypooldesigns.com/ https://www.instagram.com/farleydesigns/ https://www.instagram.com/luxuryoutdoorlivingpodcast/   00:00 Welcome to the Podcast 01:17 Meet the Hosts and Guest 01:34 Spring Weather and Busy Season 02:01 Why the Name Deck Remodelers 02:24 Origin Story and Early Carpentry 05:35 From Culinary School to Construction 06:49 Deck Medic to High-End Decks 08:20 Awards and Building a Team 09:08 Homeowner Mistakes and Budget Talk 12:08 In-House Designers and Architects 13:46 Curved Decks and Board Bending 18:08 Fire Features and Material Safety 18:48 YouTube Experiments and 50 Cal Test 19:50 Full Backyard Design and GC Scope 20:38 Standardizing Quality with DRU 22:44 Service Area and Expansion Plans 25:05 Climate Loads and Louvered Roofs 27:04 Designing Transitions and Materials 28:56 Tough Home Styles and Review Boards 30:32 Writing the Book and Going Full Service 31:38 Grand Staircases and Glue-Lams 32:45 Heaters and Lighting Expertise 36:58 Frost Lines Steel Framing and Durability 40:02 Designing for Function and Furnishings 41:02 Making Under-Deck Space Usable 42:38 Waterproofing Done Right 43:38 Details That Add Value 46:15 Cover It For Comfort 47:46 Building Docks On Ice 50:17 Lifestyle Upgrade Mindset 51:39 Football Fan Banter 53:51 Master Planning Backyards 57:24 Gunite And Clay Engineering 01:01:20 Contractor True Crime 01:05:14 NADRA And Community 01:09:26 Fire Features Under Roofs 01:11:23 Rapid Fire Favorites 01:17:15 Wrap Up And Mission

If your design studio feels busy but the bank account never seems to agree, it's time to zoom out and look at operations. We're joined by Diane Welhouse of Wellhouse Consulting Services, a certified kitchen and bath remodeler and longtime remodeling professional, to talk about what actually makes a design or remodeling business durable in a tough marketplace.We start with the unglamorous stuff that changes everything: replacing outdated, paper-based workflows with modern business systems, choosing scalable technology, and building processes your team can follow. Diane explains why “mainstream” tools like QuickBooks and supported project platforms often beat proprietary setups, especially if you want to grow, hire, or eventually sell.Then we get into pricing strategy, budgeting, and cash flow. Diane breaks down how to use real numbers, not “industry standard markup,” to set rates and margins, track billable hours, and aim for true profit. A big takeaway is reserve planning in three buckets: operating reserves for downturns, capital reserves for future investments, and “human reserves” so you can hire without fear during that 60 to 90 day ramp-up window.We also connect operations to marketing and PR: defining your mission, values, and ideal client profile, building trust through thought leadership on LinkedIn, working with local media, and using awards plus before-and-after photos as credibility and content.

Ted speaks with Frank DeFilippis, Builder Channel at Sonos about the history, innovation, and future of wireless audio. Frank explains how Sonos was founded in the early 2000s by engineers who envisioned using home networks to distribute audio throughout a house without traditional wiring. At a time when Wi-Fi was still emerging and streaming services barely existed, Sonos introduced a groundbreaking system that allowed users to control and synchronize music across multiple rooms. The discussion highlights the technological challenges behind creating perfectly synchronized audio across devices, which became the core intellectual property and defining advantage of Sonos. Frank also reflects on the early days of digital music, when consumers were ripping CDs to hard drives and experimenting with services like Napster long before streaming platforms became mainstream. Ted and Frank explore how music shapes everyday life and why audio experiences are so powerful in homes, hospitality environments, and public spaces. They also discuss the opportunity for builders and developers to incorporate integrated audio systems as a standard feature rather than a luxury upgrade. The episode offers insight into innovation in consumer technology, the intersection of design and experience, and the role companies like Sonos play in shaping how people interact with music and sound in their daily lives.
