The brothers join Care More Be Better to share what 21 days at sea taught them about complexity, why ideas die in spreadsheets, how AI agents work like bees in a hive, and how to use AI as a tool that empowers rather than replaces the human behind the vision.

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – These encouraging trends serve as a reminder that cultural change doesn't always begin in government or large institutions. Sometimes it starts with ordinary people making wiser choices and inspiring others to do the same. The future may not belong to those with the biggest homes or the flashiest lifestyles. It may belong to those who...

Tiny homes have become one of the hottest conversations in residential construction, but what many people don't realize is that the debate is about much more than small houses. This week on All About Home Construction, we look at North Carolina's proposed changes surrounding Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and what they could mean for homeowners, builders, and communities.What exactly is a tiny home? What is the difference between a tiny home, an ADU, and a manufactured home? Why can some tiny homes have features like steep stairs and lofts that wouldn't be allowed in a traditional house? And how much of the challenge is actually building the home versus getting permission through local zoning?We explore the history of zoning, the growing demand for more housing options, the idea of "missing middle" housing, and why lawmakers are looking at ways to make smaller homes easier to build. From backyard cottages and in-law suites to new opportunities for contractors, this episode breaks down the construction, code, and community issues behind one of the biggest housing conversations happening today.

Day 112 is all about accountability and making things right. Today, I'm tackling a major mistake in Betty's power system. While the current setup has served us well, I realized it was under-designed for the specific demands of our air conditioning unit—something I should have caught during the initial planning phase.In this video, I'm cleaning up the "rat's nest" of wiring and installing a new control panel and smart pad. This upgrade not only streamlines our power management but also gives us Bluetooth control over the entire system. I'll walk you through the process of drilling pilot holes, checking wiring sizes, and interpreting the manual to ensure everything is grounded and fused correctly.It's a hot day to be buried in the garage, but getting this system properly organized and efficient is a huge step toward making van life more sustainable for our family.In this video:Identifying why the original power system design was a "mistake"Unboxing and preparing the new control panelManaging complex 12V vs. 120V wiring and ground connectionsCleaning up the electrical "rat's nest" for a safer buildPlanning for future thermal management with heat sinks and fansThanks for following along with the build!

The St. Louis Morning Brief rounds up the local stories you need to know. A resurfaced TikTok challenge has teens busting through fences in Ellisville, leaving six homes damaged and police asking for doorbell footage. St. Charles leaders approve $20,000 in taxpayer money to study tiny homes for the homeless — a plan that raises real questions about accountability and whether throwing more government money at the problem actually works. Missouri cracks down hard on copper thieves with a new felony law and up to 10 years in prison, though one story shows just how broken the justice system can be when a judge lets a thief walk free on a technicality. And a North County restaurant gets caught red-handed dumping grease down a storm drain. Local news, common sense takes — only on The Marc Cox Morning Show.

The Australian Dream has always been the big family home. But with property prices painfully high, despite slow downs, many are adapting their dreams to smaller homes. 

It's time for the St. Louis Morning Brief, and there's plenty to unpack. First up, a controversial proposal in St. Charles for a tiny home village partnering with Eden Village to house the chronically homeless, and the hosts question whether this good-intentions plan will end up like Pruitt-Igoe. Then, more on Megan Greens $35,000 settlement over her 2017 Stockley protest tear-gassing, a payout the police union is furious about. Big news out of Jefferson City: Governor Mike Kehoe signs the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, making it first-degree murder to deny life-saving care to a baby who survives an abortion. Plus, a bat encounter warning after a local man ends up getting rabies shots. Real news, real St. Louis, right here on The Marc Cox Morning Show.

Have you ever looked around your house and thought, “I want this home to feel peaceful. I want it to feel like rest and joy. But right now, it just feels like work”? The table is filled with schoolbooks. The sink has dishes. Shoes are scattered near the door. Someone needs help. Someone is hungry. The house has been used all day for learning, meals, play, work, and care. In this episode, I'm talking about what to do when the whole house seems to need attention, but you do not have the time or capacity to clean everything. I share a simple question that helps me narrow my attention: What small space needs to be usable again before we can move forward? If dinner is next, you may not need to clean the whole kitchen. You may only need to wash the pan you plan to use and clear enough counter space to prepare the meal. Before lunch, you may only need to move the books and clear enough of the table for everyone to sit down. Before an appointment, you may need to move the bags and shoes blocking the doorway—not finish the entire room. I also share something an occupational therapist told me when my children were small and I felt embarrassed about the toys and lived-in mess in our home. Her words helped me remember that a home being used for learning, growing, eating, resting, making mistakes, and trying again will look used. And I want to be clear: sometimes the best choice is not to clean at all. If a child needs comfort, correction, encouragement, or help calming down, that person may need your attention more than the dishes do. The goal is not to make the whole house look perfect. The goal is to notice the one obstacle making the next part of family life harder, make that small space usable, and then stop. I also share how Movie Schooling can fit naturally into a day when both the house and the homeschool need a simpler plan. It gives you a prepared way to use a wholesome movie for learning and conversation without creating another lesson from the beginning. If your house feels like work instead of a place of rest and joy, this episode will help you narrow your attention to what would help your family next—without feeling responsible for the entire house at one time. Scripture referenced: Proverbs 14:1, ESV: “The wisest of women builds her house, but folly with her own hands tears it down.” This verse is not saying that a messy room means a weary mother is tearing down her home. Building a home also includes the way we speak, respond to one another, and decide what matters most. A tidy room is not worth becoming harsh with the people in it. Mentioned in this episode: Movie Schooling — a simple guide for families who want to use wholesome movies for meaningful learning, conversation, and connection without creating another lesson from the beginning. This episode is supported by: CTC Math — comprehensive video lessons and flexible, self-paced math learning for busy homeschool families. XOXO, Katie

Send us Fan MailA customer walks onto your site dreaming about an ADU or tiny home, then leaves because the process feels unclear, risky, or impossible to price. We want to fix that gap. From Metropolis, Illinois, we're joined by Till Buch, co-founder of Tiny Easy in Auckland, New Zealand, to talk about what happens when sheds, tiny homes, park models, and modular homes start competing for the same buyer attention and the same backyard.We dig into how a 3D configurator changes the sales conversation. Till breaks down why tiny home shoppers need a guided experience instead of unlimited design freedom: pre-designed models that stay buildable, options that don't overwhelm, and a step-by-step flow that mirrors a real consultative sales process. We also cover the practical outputs builders need to move a deal forward: realistic renders, walkthroughs, proposal documents, PDF plans, and material takeoffs that make it easier to hand off the concept to drafting, engineering, and local code requirements.Then we zoom out to the tiny home movement itself. Till explains the three big demand drivers he sees across markets: first-time buyers priced out of traditional housing, older homeowners downsizing, and short-term rental operators chasing higher ROI with micro-resort style stays.

Episode 165: Solving Homelessness One Small Footprint at a Time with Dominic TricaseIn this episode, I'm sitting down with Dominic Tricase from A Tiny Home for Good, an incredible non-profit organization that is reimagining what affordable housing looks like.We live in a world where the housing crisis is reaching a breaking point, and many of our neighbors are left without a safe place to call home. I wanted to dive deep into how a smaller footprint can lead to a massive social impact. Dominic and I discuss the mission behind building high-quality, dignified tiny homes on vacant city lots and how these spaces provide more than just a roof—they provide a foundation for a new life.In this conversation, we explore:- The inspiration behind starting a housing non-profit focused on small-footprint living.- How A Tiny Home for Good supports individuals transitioning out of homelessness.- The challenges of urban development and how tiny homes can revitalize communities.- Why professional support and a "community-first" approach are vital for long-term tenant success.- How listeners can get involved in the tiny home movement to support social justice.Whether you're passionate about innovative architecture, social entrepreneurship, or simply want to know how we can better support those struggling in our communities, this episode is a must-listen. Dominic's passion for dignity and stability in housing is truly contagious, and I think you'll walk away feeling inspired by what's possible when we think outside the (big) box.Connect with the Mission:If you want to support the incredible work Dominic and his team are doing, I encourage you to learn more, volunteer, or make a contribution today.

Year two at the Mass Timber Conference for their 10 year anniversary and we're practically locals. We're recording live from the Union Ironworkers booth — on the second floor of a structure they built inside the Oregon Convention Center — talking show stats, Shark Tank-style investor pitches, and why every lumber person should have this conference on their radar. Then we sit down with Neveah, an architecture student we sponsored to attend, who casually mentions she designed and built a tiny home at 16. From scratch. With secondhand materials. We're fine. lumberslingers@gmail.com

The All Local for Tuesday, March 10th

3-10 Adam and Jordana 11a hour

In this episode of the podcast, we interview investor and nurse Miranda Widmeyer about her first ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) project in California—turning a used tiny home on wheels into a fully permitted, high-cash-flow rental. Miranda shares how she intentionally bought a property with space for an ADU, used a rent-by-the-room strategy in the main house to cover her mortgage, and then found a $40,000 tiny home on Facebook Marketplace, negotiating creative seller financing to avoid overleveraging.She walks through the realities of being the first person in her city to convert a tiny home into an ADU, including months of back-and-forth with the city, the manufacturer, and engineers to satisfy code, secure plans, and work through Insignia and permitting challenges.Miranda breaks down her actual numbers—including utilities and concrete —and her target rental income, which comes in under budget and beats the 2% rule. She also discusses funding the project with a HELOC and extra hospital shifts, the power of problem-solving and not taking “no” for an answer, and how the WIIRE Community helped her lead her team and push the project across the finish line.  Resources:Get in touch with Miranda WidmeyerGet all the deets on Miranda's Scrubs2Success Community Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenantGet in touch with Envy Investment GroupMake sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community Leave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private Facebook CommunityConnect with us on Instagram

After the 1906 Earthquake and Fire, thousands of San Franciscans were homeless. City leaders needed them to stay in the city to help rebuild, so they built tiny homes and set up villages in neighborhood parks. These earthquake cottages gave many people their first shot at homeownership and helped the city recover. You can still find a few of them dotted around the city if you know what to look for.
