Saison 4 · Épisode 6

mardi 9 juin 2026 • Durée 41:20

What does it take to grow a business while staying true to the values and culture that made it successful in the first place?

In this episode of Built In, FMI Consulting President Scott Winstead sits down with Tony Bond, President and CEO of BOND Brothers, a fifth-generation family-owned construction and utility infrastructure company serving the Northeast. Together, they explore how BOND has navigated significant growth, expanded into new markets, and evolved its strategy — all while preserving the culture and identity that have defined the company for more than a century.

Tony shares his perspective on strategic planning, capital allocation, leadership, talent development, and the importance of intentional communication as organizations scale. He also reflects on the lessons learned from entering new markets, developing future leaders, and balancing growth opportunities with long-term sustainability.

Whether you're leading a family business, managing growth, or refining your organization's strategic direction, this conversation offers valuable insights on scaling with purpose and maintaining focus in an ever-changing market.

Nate Koetje on the Field-First Operating Philosophy Behind Feyen Zylstra

Saison 4 · Épisode 5

mardi 12 mai 2026 • Durée 43:16

In this episode of FMI's Built In Podcast, FMI Consulting President Scott Winstead sits down with Nate Koetje, CEO of Feyen Zylstra. Feyen Zylstra is a 600-person commercial and industrial electrical contractor headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with offices in Nashville, Charlotte, and Charleston. Since stepping into the COO role in 2008 and becoming CEO in 2013, Nate has led one of the more disciplined growth stories in the trades. But he pushes back hard on the idea that there was ever a master plan.

Scott and Nate get into the four phases every construction CEO lives through, why "the process is the goal" became Feyen Zylstra's operating philosophy, and what it actually takes to build a field-first culture at scale.

What we cover:

The four phases: entrepreneurial grit, "culture is king," financial discipline, and process is the goal
Why field-first is an operating constraint, not a slogan
How to think about geographic expansion without ever making an acquisition
The case for not having a growth strategy
What to look for when selecting leaders who can handle adversity
Nate's advice to his younger self: dream big, act small

Building an Ownership Culture: The Emery Sapp & Sons Growth Story

Saison 4 · Épisode 4

mardi 14 avril 2026 • Durée 44:34

What does it take to grow a construction company from $27M to over $1.5 billion — without losing your culture along the way? In this episode, Scott Winstead sits down with Tim Paulson, Co-CEO of ESS Companies, to unpack the philosophy, decisions, and hard lessons behind one of the industry's most remarkable growth stories.

Tim shares how becoming an ESOP in 1999 unleashed an ownership mentality across the organization, his "3D diversification" framework for sustainable growth, and why ESS invests 70% of its marketing budget internally — on its own people. He also gets candid about the growing pains of tripling in size through three simultaneous acquisitions in 2019, and what he'd tell his 30-year-old self about staying through the hard seasons.

If you're thinking about culture at scale, leadership development, or what it really means to build a company where people have a genuine stake in the outcome, this conversation is for you.
