Pretty cool way to start the week. Construction Champions Podcast was just named the #3 Construction Business & Contractor Growth Podcast of 2026 by @Feedspot. When I started this show, the goal was pretty simple: have real conversations with people who are actually doing the work, building companies, leading teams, solving problems, and pushing the construction industry forward. Hundreds of conversations later, that is still what Construction Champions is about. No fluff. No pretending we have all the answers. Just learning from people who have actually been there and sharing those conversations with the industry. Being recognized as #3 in a category centered around construction business, leadership, operations, finance, and contractor growth means a lot because that's exactly where I believe this show belongs. But the coolest part is thinking about all the people who have helped build it. Every guest who has shared their story. Everyone who listens or watches. Everyone who shares an episode. Everyone who has told someone else about the show. Thank you. We're nowhere near done. #3 Construction Business & Contractor Growth Podcast of 2026 See the 2026 Feedspot rankings: podcast.feedspot.com/constru… #ConstructionChampions #Construction #Podcast #ConstructionBusiness #Contractors #Leadership #Entrepreneurship

Construction people... Please tell me I'm not crazy. Concrete. Fresh asphalt. Cut lumber. Diesel. Cigarettes and coffee. There are certain job site smells that instantly bring back years of memories. I love the smell of fresh asphalt. What's your job site smell?

I want to help get this message out as far as we can. Ryan Chattelle and the team at Templar Plumbing are stepping up for the families of the 861st Engineer unit who are currently deployed. If you are in Rhode Island, have a family member deployed with the 861st, and run into a plumbing or heating problem at home, Ryan wants you to reach out to Templar Plumbing. They will figure it out. Ryan shared something with me that I think says everything about why he's doing this: “We who stay back are responsible for making sure this community is worth fighting for when our soldiers return home.” That hit me. This isn't about promoting a plumbing company. It's about taking care of the families at home while their loved ones are away serving our country. If you're in Rhode Island, please share this. If you know someone connected to the 861st, send it directly to them. Let's make sure this reaches the families who may need it. Ryan, thank you for stepping up and putting your money where your mouth is. #RhodeIsland #MilitaryFamilies #SupportOurTroops #Community #SmallBusiness

A lot of business owners say they want freedom. Then they build a business where nothing can happen without them. Every estimate needs their approval. Every customer problem comes to them. Every employee has a question only they can answer. Every decision gets kicked up the ladder. And eventually they are working more hours, carrying more stress, and wondering why the business never seems to get easier. Here is the hard truth: If your business can't run without you, you don't own a business. You own a job. The answer isn't working harder. It's building better. Better systems. Better processes. Better people. Clear accountability. And a team empowered to actually make decisions. Your job as an owner isn't to become better at putting out fires. It's to build a company that doesn't need you holding the fire extinguisher all day. Stop being the bottleneck. Build the business to run. Then lead it where you want it to go. Don't complain. Figure it out. What is ONE thing in your business right now that still can't happen without you? #BusinessOwner #Entrepreneurship #Leadership #SmallBusiness #BusinessGrowth #Operations #Systems #Accountability #Entrepreneur

One of the biggest profit killers in construction... Isn't labor. It isn't rework. It starts before the job even begins. Material delays. Poor procurement. Lack of visibility. By the time crews are standing around waiting... The money is already gone. In this episode, I sat down with Eshan to talk about why supply chain management has become one of the biggest competitive advantages in construction.

Columbus never disappoints!

You are already living your dreams, embrace it….

I've spent my whole life chasing what's next. I'm trying to get better at appreciating what's now. There wasn't one massive win that got me here. Just thousands of small wins compounded over time. Keep chasing. Just don't forget to turn around and see how far you've come. #Gratitude #Entrepreneur #KeepBuilding

Everyone says they need more leads. After trying to hire contractors for my own backyard project... I disagree. Here's what I experienced: • Most never answered the phone. • Some never called back. • One sent me a text message with pricing. • Nobody actually sold me on why I should hire them. The problem isn't always lead generation. Sometimes it's what happens after the phone rings. If you answer your phone, communicate well, and deliver a professional estimate... You're already ahead of most of your competition. Think about that. watch today constructionchampionspodcast… #Construction #Contractors #Sales #CustomerService #BusinessGrowth

The phrase "That's our policy" has become an excuse for bad customer service. A policy should solve a problem. Not create a bigger one. If following the policy costs you customers, maybe the policy is the problem. #BuildInPublic #CustomerService #Entrepreneur

Some days AI feels brilliant. Some days it feels like you’re spending more time fixing AI than solving your problem. Business owners don’t want better prompts. They want better outcomes. That’s what we’re building. #BuildInPublic #AskAShopOwner #AI #Startup
