    Sean Naylor: Three Generations of Drywall and One Game-Changing Product

    The Onsite Podcast host interviews Ontario drywall finisher Sean Naylor of The Mudder’s Touch Ltd, a third-generation drywaller with 27 years’ experience who also makes content for tool and product brands. The main discussion centers on Mud Pro, a mineral-based drywall mud additive invented in the U.S. that Sean says allows wet-on-wet applications through multiple coats, delivers about 50% less shrinkage, can be reactivated with water for polishing, and can reduce sanding for level 5 finishing while drying similarly to traditional mud but curing harder. Sean explains how it can cut scheduling inefficiencies by enabling taping through additional coats in one sitting, and he offers samples and demos via his website and social channels. He also mentions Mud Pro’s Optimal product (paint-ready without priming), Comy Trowels, CanAm Tools, and encourages networking and joining the Elite Builders Society community.

    Philip Sessions: JobTread Implementation and Virtual Assistants for Contractors

    Episode 44 of the Onsite Podcast features Philip Sessions of Refined VA, who discusses helping contractors implement and support JobTread through account setup, templates, catalogs, estimating, QuickBooks mapping, ongoing internal support, and virtual assistant placements. Philip shares his background (from Houston to Greenville, married with two young daughters), faith, and the challenges of juggling a booming business with family responsibilities, emphasizing “harmony” over balance and avoiding hustle culture that harms relationships. The conversation highlights contractors’ common bottleneck—getting accurate estimates out quickly—and how Refined VA meets clients where they are by producing immediate estimates, then building repeatable templates and cost catalogs (using a contractor named Kevin as an example). Brandon also promotes JobTread, Refined VA, and his Elite Builder Society community.

    Doug Mitchell: How to Hire a Virtual Professional for Your Business

    Onsite Podcast episode 43 features returning guest Doug Mitchell discussing his move to HireVP, a virtual professional placement agency focused on proactive support, systems, and SOP development for contractors. Doug shares his background running a 13-year door-to-door sales organization and hiring his first VA, Nica, nearly five years ago, emphasizing that many VA failures stem from undocumented systems and unclear expectations. He explains HireVP’s approach of placing role-specific “virtual professionals” (often project coordinators) who help project managers with CRM updates, client touchpoints, and accountability across project tasks, and gives a method for building custom SOPs using recorded conversations, transcripts, and ChatGPT follow-up questions. Doug outlines HireVP’s process, $1,997 upfront recruiting/onboarding fee, monthly pricing ($2,100–$2,400) including pay and benefits, a Philippines-enforceable exclusivity contract, two replacements per year, 90-day agreement then month-to-month, and retention metrics.

    Brendon Ratos: Google Ads for Contractors, What Actually Works

    In episode 42 of the Onsite Podcast, Brandon talks with Brendon from Nano Boost Digital, an Elite Builders Society educator, about running effective ad strategies for contractors using Google Ads and integrating Meta where appropriate. Brendon shares his background (Toronto, biotech schooling, experience at Google Ads and agencies) and emphasizes simplifying digital marketing, fair pricing, and removing the “black box,” noting ads only work when the website and sales process convert. They discuss how ads track the economy, rising costs and competition (especially in renovation markets), the need for multi-channel marketing, and AI’s growing impact. Brandon calls two contractors using Brendon’s services: Tom, an Ontario-area electrician, credits Google ads for scaling from four to six staff and generating strong ROI, while Fraser of Black Belt Contracting in Vancouver describes slow initial results but later receiving large renovation leads, reinforcing that Google Ads is a long-term game.

    Matt Cox: The Rise of Residential Assisted Living

    On this episode, the host interviews Matt, an Arizona-based licensed general contractor and owner of Nimble LLC, about his focus on residential assisted living and residential multifamily projects. Matt explains the HUD-defined multifamily concept, the residential vs. commercial distinction in assisted living (with 10 residents as the legal residential limit and 11+ rooms considered commercial), and why residential models can offer more personal “white glove” care. He discusses educating investors and homeowners on using loans (including FHA) and creative additions to existing homes, the importance of involving contractors before purchasing properties to avoid issues like unpermitted additions, and typical revenue potential per resident (around $7,000+ per month, higher in luxury markets). Matt shares a current 1,700 sq. ft. assisted living addition project delayed by permitting and flood-zone requirements, notes his family support, and mentions his background as a materials engineer before construction. He can be reached via Instagram @nimmbol and nimmbol.com.

    Amon Werthman: Rebranding and Resilience of Golden Bexar Cabinets

    In episode 40 of the Onsite Podcast, Brandon interviews his friend Amon of San Antonio’s Golden Bexar Cabinets (formerly Cabinets and Granite Creations) about buying out a partner, rebranding around a more luxury, cohesive identity, and launching goldenbexar.com.  Amon discusses concerns about leaving strong prior SEO, positive client reception, and how his wife Kristen led the brand aesthetic. He shares family milestones including 25 years of marriage celebrated with a vow renewal in Mexico and a daughter’s engagement, while also onboarding JobTread and attending JobTread Connect. Amon explains his RTA, all-wood cabinetry model with soft-close hardware, fast turnaround (often two weeks for cabinets, countertops, and backsplash), consistent quality, easy replacement parts, and reduced shipping damage, plus ambitions to expand shipping cabinets nationwide, citing successful orders to North Carolina and Hawaii. He recounts setbacks in 2017 involving an unpaid builder and a flooring install disaster, and both discuss trust issues with employees and building systems. The episode ends with a plug for Elite Builder Society at ebsworks.com.

    Contractor Control Part 8: Take Control or Stay Stuck

    In this episode of the Onsite podcast, the host recaps the eight-part “Contractor Control” journey, emphasizing that contractors are ultimately in control of every decision and outcome in their business. The main recurring issue for stuck contractors is lack of action, often driven by ego, ignorance, and unwillingness to change. He encourages diagnosing problems as either systems or people issues, building and updating systems, and making confident, data-informed decisions instead of avoiding hard conversations (e.g., unread texts/emails). The key shift is awareness paired with decisive action; staying the same is framed as a disservice to one’s family and a path to failure. He contrasts contractors who invest in themselves, coaching, and direction versus those who repeat old habits, and closes by promoting the $49/month Elite Builders Society community and upcoming guest episodes.

    Contractor Control Part 7: Why Jobs Get Stressful After They Start

    Episode seven of the Onsite Podcast’s eight-part series focuses on why jobs feel smooth in sales but become stressful once construction starts. The host argues most breakdowns stem from weak discovery, unclear scope, and poor communication, leading to misaligned expectations and loss of control after deposits and early draws. Core themes: ask better qualifying questions, take ownership instead of blaming clients, implement structured systems (schedules, clear contracts, detailed scopes, construction management software like JobTread), document meetings with AI tools, maintain the client pulse throughout delivery, and treat repeated stress as data for improvement.
