Today Ted speaks with Eric Payne, founder of NuWest Builders and Co-Founder of Paynecole, an architecture firm specializing in 3D-rendered designs in Whitefish, MT. Growing up on a farm and surviving having a dot com business during the bubble taught Eric work ethic, follow through, and an unmatched drive to succeed. After transitioning to building, and scaling a successful luxury custom home business, Eric realized the greatest frustration he and his team had was solvable. Traditional building plans left so many unanswered questions, but after meeting Nic Cole, Eric learned that 3D renderings that stayed ahead of builders and were designed by professional animators could wildly improve the customer experience and building process for his team. Today, Ted digs into how Payncole came to be, how technology is changing the building industry, and the mindset that Eric operates from to build successful businesses. TOPICS DISCUSSED[1:50] Growing up surrounded by technology[6:05] Early adoption of technology changes how you think[9:20] How do you decide which technologies are useful?[12:50] Unique renderings of building projects and the process[15:10] Building plans are the number one source of frustration [19:50] Scaling 3D rendered plans[21:30] Mentors throughout life[28:20] What you accomplish with what you're given[30:50] How Zoom shifted scaling a business[32:00] Working on iconic structures in Whitefish[35:55] The start of Payncole[41:45] Adoption and education in this new technology[46:20] What do people not know about you?[50:35] What's a failure you learned from?[54:00] Where do you see yourself and the building industry in 10 years?CONNECT WITH GUESTPaul ShepherdWebsiteInstagramLinkedInKEY QUOTES FROM EPISODEI think our industry is dominated by limited goals. Most of the, from a builder standpoint, a builder will find this is the max capacity that we have. It's six homes at any one time, or it's two homes a year, whatever that is. And that's the max, because they're used to doing things same way they've always done them, and they wanna do them right. And that is a great, great goal to have, and it's a great limited goal. But if, again, if we can prove to these people like some of the great innovators that have come before, is we can change your whole way of thinking. That, I believe, is where the ultimate success comes from. So we started focusing on the renderings, bringing in art, the guys that were better, they're not architects that are doing these renders, they're animators and they're graphic artists.I'm about to see the West, specifically Montana, I see exploding far more than what we already have. I think we've just seen the tip of the iceberg.

I think people do want to work. There are just literally not enough bodies out there, I don't think.People want to... you know, everyone's concerned about urban sprawl, but you know, let's face it, we're a dynamic growing town soon to become a city, and we need to be thinking ahead 20, 30 years, and unfortunately, I think a lot of our planning is reactive instead of proactive.But my thing about designing and building a home is the process should be as good as a product. If it's not a life-giving process to do this, and our process is two to three years on some of these homes, why would you do it if it's not fun and life-giving?

Perhaps, you thought about hiring new people and starting a clean slate at one point. In this week's episode, I will pull the veil back on some of the real reasons why your team won't change.

Joining The Scuttlebutt this week is actor and host of American Homecoming Jack Maxwell. Jack has appeared on television in Lost, 24, House, Without a Trace, Beverly Hills 90210, General Hospital, and All My Children. He hosted all four seasons of Travel Channel's Booze Traveler and has now turned his attention to helping spread the word about disabled veterans. It is an unfortunate fact that many of our veterans return from serving our country disabled, to a house that no longer serves them. What was once an easy walk up a couple of steps to the front door now requires a ramp. Hardwood floors are not a luxury but a necessity. Navigating the house now becomes a difficult, time-consuming, often-aggravating chore. In American Homecoming, a veteran and their family, will be sent away for one week on a surprise vacation. Meanwhile, the expert team of carpenters and designers, along with an army of volunteers, mobilizes with military precision to renovate and remodel the house. Each episode concludes with the unsuspecting family returning to a yard filled with an army of volunteers waiting to introduce them to their new home. One that is more welcoming, livable, and easier to navigate, with greater accessibility. As an added bonus, the house is updated with new furniture, appliances, decor, and household goods.

10 Tips For Your Remodeling Clients by Mark Richardson

This week, we are joined by Meg Cook, Chairman of the Board & President of Painters USAfor an important and eye opening conversation on the topic of mental health and well-being awareness in the workplace, specifically across the construction and trades industry. At the start of our conversation, Meg shared a shocking statistic: “1 in 5 Americans suffer from some sort of mental health condition at any given time, but more than half do not receive treatment or know how to access help.” When you break down these statistics by industry type, the outcome among the construction industry is staggering.  Meg is looking to break this pattern and help end the stigma around mental health by putting energy towards education and connection of resources, incorporating them into the Painters USA Safety program and sharing this topic with third party organizations that are in need of this guidance. For Meg, this is about normalizing the mental health conversation, providing access and direction to resources and recognizing it's essential to create a culture of caring across your organization. Fortunately, she is not alone in this fight… and you can join her in this mission. Every year, during September — National Suicide Prevention Month — the construction industry will dedicate a week to raising awareness about the unique challenges workers face in construction that lead to suicide and what we can do to prevent it. This year, Construction Suicide Prevention Week will take place September 4-8, 2023.  To learn more, access resources and “tool box talks”, and register your company for participation in this awareness week, visit https://constructionsuicideprevention.com/ It's time to STAND UP and Make a Difference.

This week we review a recent fascinating work from the team in Toronto on a novel large mammalian model of HLHS (in fetal lambs). How did the team develop this model and what insights into the development of HLHS has it afforded? How does reduction in inflow to the developing LV result in changes in cellular proliferation in the LV of the fetal lamb? Which is more important in the development of HLHS - genetics or flow patterns? Is this a false dichotomy? Does this novel model provide insights into outcomes thus far observed in fetal interventions for HLHS and aortic stenosis in humans? We speak with the senior author of this week's work, Professor Rajiv Chaturvedi of the University of Toronto about this potentially groundbreaking new model and some of the insights it has provided. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-023-05132-2
