ADHD and Your Business: How to Work With Your Brain, Not Against It
jeudi 22 octobre 2026 • Durée 42:39
Running a remodeling business requires a lot of focus, but what happens when your brain is constantly pulling you in different directions?
This week, Kyle sits down with Skye Waterson, founder of Unconventional Organisation and host of the ADHD Skills Lab podcast, to talk about the unique challenges and strengths that come with being a business owner with ADHD.
Skye shares practical strategies for managing distractions, figuring out what actually deserves your attention, and getting important work done when focusing doesn't come naturally. They also discuss why traditional productivity advice doesn't always work for people with ADHD and how hiring the right team members can help business owners stay organized without having to manage every detail themselves.
Whether you have ADHD or simply struggle to stay focused with everything happening in your business, this conversation offers some fresh ideas for approaching your work in a way that makes sense for you.

If everything in your remodeling business still has to run through you, eventually you become the bottleneck.
This week, Kyle sits down with Curtis Lawson, a Remodelers on the Rise Coach and owner of Crafted Custom Homes, to walk through the Delegate and Elevate exercise and how remodelers can use it to take a closer look at where their time is actually going.

They also talk about what effective delegation actually looks like once you decide to let something go, including clearer roles, better job descriptions, training your team, and creating the accountability needed to make sure the work gets done.

Your People Aren’t The Problem, Your Systems Might Be.
jeudi 17 septembre 2026 • Durée 46:03
When good employees leave or your team isn't performing the way you hoped, it's easy to assume you have a people problem. But what if the real issue is the systems behind them?
This week, Kyle sits down with Ryan Englin of Core Matters to talk about what it takes to build a team that can succeed without the owner constantly stepping in. Ryan shares why turnover often starts with the systems inside the business and explains the difference between accountability and micromanagement. They also dig into why traditional performance reviews tend to fall short in the trades and how clearer expectations can make leadership a whole lot easier.
If you want a team that knows what success looks like and can take more ownership without you hovering over every decision, this conversation will give you some practical places to start.

How to Actually Use AI in Your Remodeling Business with Eric Fortenberry
jeudi 10 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:06:47
This episode is a rebroadcast of a webinar Eric Fortenberry presented for the Remodelers on the Rise community. Kyle is joined by Eric, founder and CEO of JobTread, to discuss practical ways contractors can start using AI in their businesses.
Eric explains how tools like Claude can connect with JobTread and use the information already inside your business to help take repetitive work off your plate.
Throughout the webinar, Eric shares real examples of contractors already using AI in the field and in the office. You’ll hear how AI can help build an estimate before you leave a client’s house, turn jobsite notes into a polished daily log, catch potential issues in your budgets, and help you get more out of the information you already have in JobTread.
The goal isn’t to overhaul your entire business overnight. Start with one task that takes too much of your time and see where AI can help.
JobTread helps remodelers bring estimating, scheduling, job costing, and invoicing into one connected system, so they can clearly see where jobs stand and what’s actually profitable. We’ve watched members move from guessing to confidently knowing their numbers, which leads to better pricing, planning, and leadership.

How to Hire Better and Build a Stronger Remodeling Team
jeudi 20 août 2026 • Durée 46:44
Finding great people is one of the biggest challenges remodelers face, but the answer isn't posting another job ad and hoping the right person comes along. In this episode, Kyle is joined by Justin Landry of JL Talent Solutions and Peer Group Coach Bryan Sebring for a practical conversation about creating a more intentional hiring process.
Bryan shares how his approach to hiring has changed after working with Justin and why slowing down has helped him avoid costly hiring mistakes. They dig into what a strong recruiting process actually looks like, from defining the role before you start searching to using assessments and structured interviews to better understand each candidate. Justin also explains why the right people are out there, even when it feels impossible to find them, and how looking beyond the usual job boards can open up a much stronger candidate pool.
If hiring has felt rushed, frustrating, or inconsistent in your remodeling business, this episode will help you think differently about how you find people and set them up to succeed!
