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. We close with what's trending in the US right now, especially park models and ADUs, and how shed businesses can add a second product line without losing focus on the core.If you get value from these industry deep dives, subscribe to the Shed Geek Podcast, share this with a builder friend, and leave a review so more shed and portable building pros can find the show.For more information or to know more about the Shed Geek Podcast visit us at our website.Would you like to receive our weekly newsletter?

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.

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.

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.

Major layoffs in the Pajaro Valley Unified School District, local growers are unhappy with a Trump farm bailout, and new approaches for housing gain steam. That and more in this week's roundup.
In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast, host Troy Trewin interviews Nando Barnett shares how he transformed Sell in Style from a small home-staging side hustle into a fast-growing multi-million-dollar company. After leaving a 10-year corporate career, he and his wife Sarah started flipping houses, which eventually led real estate agents to request their staging help. They went all-in during 2020, reinvesting everything, scaling from just the two of them to a team of 47. Nando explains how adapting as a leader, understanding clients deeply, and taking fast action fueled their growth to more than 1,400 jobs a year. He also highlights the importance of systems, mentorship, and building a strong team culture. The journey shows how clarity, bold risks, and a client-first mindset can turn a simple idea into a highly successful business. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Nando Barnett, the hardest part of growing a small business is mental attitude — staying strong when things go wrong, handling pressure, and quickly shifting from problems to solutions without getting stuck emotionally. He says you have to absorb the stress, process it, and then move forward with clear action, because your mindset determines how well you lead the business through tough moments. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Nando Barnett says the business books that helped him the most are Buy Back Your Time by Dan Martell, Atomic Habits by James Clear, and several leadership-focused books like Leaders Eat Last, which have all influenced his mindset, productivity, and approach to leading a fast-growing business. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? According to Nando Barnett, he doesn't follow a long list of podcasts, but he focuses heavily on online learning by surrounding himself with mentors and expert content; he even redesigned his entire Instagram feed so that whenever he opens it, he only sees business leaders, coaches, and people he admires, allowing him to constantly learn, stay motivated, and absorb practical insights that help him grow his business. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? According to Nando Barnett, the best tool to grow a small business is mentors, as he believes they dramatically shorten the learning curve, help business owners avoid costly mistakes, provide clarity during difficult decisions, strengthen mental resilience, and guide both day-to-day operations and long-term strategy, which is why he personally works with multiple mentors and invests heavily in ongoing coaching and advisory support. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? According to Nando Barnett, the advice he would give himself on day one of starting in business is to strengthen his mental attitude, stay positive, push through the difficult weeks, and always support his team, because maintaining resilience and backing the people around him are what ultimately drive long-term success. Book a 20-minute Growth Chat with Troy Trewin to see if you qualify for our upcoming course. Don't miss out on this opportunity to take your small business to new heights! Enjoyed the podcast?

Unlicensed, the first fiction show created by Jeffrey and Joseph since Night Vale, returns for a third season. Lou Rosen and Molly Hatch are unlicensed private detectives, scraping by on whatever cases they can get from their little office on the fringes of LA County. Reeling from a devastating betrayal and a major earthquake, this season finds Lou and Molly trying to rebuild their lives and evaluate their futures. But those futures might not be as long as they hope. Lou and Molly start what appears to be a quiet case: a series of strange home break-ins all involving ex-employees of a defunct Long Beach stereo manufacturer. But this case will quickly bring them up against an opponent more ruthless and resourceful than they've ever faced before. Lou and Molly have always gotten by on their wits, but what to do when facing an enemy who can outmatch them in both wits and violence? A cat and mouse game through the forgotten regions of Southern California, including a shady direct-to-video movie studio, the unglamorous workers neighborhoods of glamorous Catalina Island, and the distant remote parts of the desert, where help cannot reach you in time. There will be grave danger. There will be deaths. But maybe some things matter more than survival. Listen with a free Audible trial today. Learn more about your ad choices.
