    They're Building Homes with Grass. It Actually Works. w/ Josh Dorfman

    Josh Dorfman explains how Planted is turning fast-growing grass into structural building panels now used by DR Horton, the largest home builder in America.

Their factory sits inside a former American Spirit cigarette plant in Oxford, North Carolina, and their partner is DR Horton — the builder behind one in every seven homes built in America. Topics covered: How Planted went from a SpaceX engineering team to a working construction materialWhy planting trees alone cannot solve the carbon math at scaleThe perennial grass that out-competes timber on cost, supply chain stability, and carbon captureWhy former tobacco farmers in North Carolina are switching to this cropHow tariffs, Canadian wildfires, and Baltic birch disruptions are accelerating demand for domestic alternativesPlanted's long-term stable pricing model and how it beats commodity timber volatilityThe marketing playbook for a disruptive startup in a slow-moving industryWhy brand fragmentation kills startups even when the product is workingAI tools, bottlenecks, and the entrepreneur lie most founders tell themselves This one is for builders, real estate investors, developers, and anyone watching material costs eat into project margins. 🔗 Learn more about Josh's climate media company: https://getsuper.cool 🔗 Build systems for your investing business: https://realdealcrew.com #RealEstateInvesting #HomeBuilding #ConstructionInnovation #SustainableBuilding #Climatetech #SupplyChain #BuildingMaterials #RealDealChat #EntrepreneurMindset #GreenBuilding Work With RealDealCrew If you’re already closing deals but your intake, follow-up, or visibility feels inconsistent, here are two ways to go deeper: Take the Deal Intake Assessment See how resilient your current operation actually is. → https://assessment.realdealcrew.com Book a Fit Call If you want to explore what a fully system-driven deal flow looks like, let’s talk. → https://realdealcrew.com/book LIKE • SHARE • JOIN • REVIEW WebsiteApple PodcastsYouTubeYouTube MusicSpotifyAmazon MusicFacebookTwitterInstagram
