    #162 | Mike Weaver | Emser Tile | Mike Weaver Said He Wanted All the Business or None of It & How That Changed Everything

    Mike Weaver of Emser Tile isn't your average vendor — he's the guy who walks into a room and immediately starts thinking about how he can connect everyone in it to someone they haven't met yet. Mark and Mike dig into the power of partnerships, why you don't need years to build a deep business relationship, and how a single conversation with the right supplier could collapse months of cold outreach into one warm introduction. If you've ever wondered what it looks like when two people genuinely bet on each other's success, this is that conversation.

    Losers are Winners | Brad Leavitt on What Happens When Scope Explodes & Deadlines Don't Move

    Brad Leavitt of AFT Construction is back on the podcast, and this time he's serving up a fresh, still-stinging loss that proves even the best builders can forget their own rules. Mark and Brad dig into what happens when scope explodes, timelines collapse, and a superintendent has to get swapped out two weeks before a move-in that was never going to happen anyway. It's messy, it's honest, and it's the kind of conversation that might just save your next project — or at least make you feel better about your last one.

    #161 | Laura Brophy | Laura Brophy Interiors | 10 People, Zero Drama: How Laura Brophy Built the Team Every Entrepreneur Wants

    Laura Brophy didn't exactly take the traditional path to running a 10-person interior design firm in Newport Beach — sports medicine, upholstery shops, Dolce & Gabbana, and Restoration Hardware were all pit stops along the way. Mark sits down with Laura to dig into how she built a drama-free team, learned to stop being the bottleneck in her own business, and why her husband Rob is the spreadsheet to her vision board. They also go deep on wellness-driven design — saunas, cold plunges, bathtub comebacks, and why your home might be the most underutilized wellness tool you own.

    Losers are Winners | The Mistake That Almost Tanked a $1M+ Project

    Twenty-two years in the business and Mark still managed to remind himself why taking the low bid is basically a trap with a bow on it. In this solo Losers are Winners episode, he pulls back the curtain on a framing nightmare — missed milestones, disappearing crew members, bounced checks, and one very uncomfortable site meeting — and how it all came to a head with his first-ever mid-project subcontractor firing. The real plot twist? The client ended up trusting him more because of it, not less.

    What do climbing Everest, finishing a 200-mile gravel race on a single speed, getting on Joe Rogan, and raising kids who actually want to hang out with you have in common? They all showed up in this live Sauna Camp panel, and the conversation did not disappoint. Mark sat down with Erin Ayala, Alex Larson, Alex Neist, and Ryan Rivard to dig into wellness, resilience, and why the boring daily grind is actually the whole game.

    #159 | Nathan Marsala | The Bison Group | Nathan Marsala on the Big Lie Behind "Luxury" Home Building

    Nathan Marsala brings the heat in this episode with a refreshing take on craftsmanship, business systems, family priorities, and why not everything labeled "luxury" actually is. The conversation moves from pre-construction and project leadership to wellness, journaling, and cutting back the noise so the important stuff can get louder. It's equal parts builder talk, life audit, and a reminder that sometimes the smartest move is deleting a few things and grabbing a better pen.

    Losers are Winners | The Job From Hell with Nick Schiffer - Failures, Red Flags, & Hard Lessons

    Nick Schiffer brings the heat in this Losers are Winners episode, sharing the messy behind-the-scenes stories that rarely make it to Instagram. From takeover projects gone wild to contracts that nearly cost big, this episode shows how failure can become the best business coach in the room.
