Isn't it frustrating when you've spent six months quoting a massive architectural project, only for the client to pull the pin at the very last second?
Or when your best supervisor hands in their notice right as your busiest season kicks off? It feels like you’re taking one step forward and two steps back.
What if you could look at every site disaster, every lost contract, and every difficult conversation as the exact fuel you need to grow a better, more profitable business?

We explore the powerful "Good" framework and how Australian builders are using it to de-risk their businesses, refine their quoting, and build stronger relationships with architects, even when things go wrong.
This episode is a must-listen for any builder looking to build a resilient mindset and turn daily obstacles into long-term opportunities.

You'll learn:
- How to apply the "Jocko" mindset to the Australian building site, why saying "Good" to a project manager quitting might be the best thing for your systems.
- The secret to winning against "Veteran" builders, how being the underdog allows you to out-prepare, out-think, and out-communicate the competition.
- Turning "Bad News" into client trust, the technique for handling massive variations and asbestos finds in a way that actually strengthens your brand.

Ever notice how clients come to you with plans that are way over their budget?
Turns out there's a massive problem in our industry: 80% of plans that get drawn never actually get built.
That disconnect between design and pricing is costing everyone – builders, designers, and clients – time, money, and endless frustration.

In this episode, JP sits down with Ray from Story Lab who's pioneered a radical solution: builder-led design.
Ray's background is unique. He started in his dad's building company at 14, did his apprenticeship, worked as an estimator, then moved into design.
That builder's perspective changed everything about how he approaches design projects.

His approach? Get the builder involved in the FIRST conversation with the client, before any plans get drawn.
Set realistic budget expectations upfront.
Design within those parameters.
The result? 75% of his plans proceed to construction (compared to the industry average of 20%).
In this conversation, Ray reveals:
- Why the traditional design-first approach is fundamentally broken
- The exact process for involving builders from day one- How to have those critical budget conversations early
- Real examples of rescuing projects stuck in the "over-budget" cycle
- Why bespoke new homes are often more cost-effective than renovations
- Fascinating technology (3D scanning with 10 million dimensions) that's improving accuracy- How to build better relationships between builders and designers

Ever notice how the biggest thing holding your business back isn't usually a lack of work, but the stuff going on between your ears?
Isn't it frustrating when you feel like a bit of a phoney, even when things are going well, or you find yourself making excuses to avoid that next big step?
What if you could move past that "imposter syndrome" and actually feel confident enough to lead your business into its best year yet?

In this episode of the Inspired Builders Podcast, we go behind the scenes with Andre, founder of Bizvideo.
In a raw and personal chat, Andre opens up about his own battles with fear and the "imposter" feelings that almost held him back from massive opportunities like speaking on stage in front of hundreds.
We explore how to diagnose the areas of your life that are stalling your progress and why 2026 needs a different version of "you" than last year did.
Andre’s story is a must-listen for any business owner who feels like they’re their own biggest bottleneck and wants to start "running into the storm."

You'll learn:
- The Reality of Imposter Syndrome – Why Andre still faces these feelings after years in business and the specific mindset shift he uses to keep moving forward anyway.
- Diagnosing the "Fear Facets" – How to get honest with yourself about where you’re hesitating and why identifying these "irritations" is the key to a better 2026.
- The "Who Not How" Breakthrough – How Andre stopped trying to figure out every technical solution and started looking for the right people to help him grow.
