    293. What Structural Engineers Really Do on Custom Home Projects - With Daniel McCaulley Owner Ultimus Engineering

    In this episode of The Real Build, I’m joined by Daniel McCaulley, owner of Ultimus Engineering. Daniel is a licensed professional engineer who works closely with builders, architects, and homeowners on residential and commercial projects, especially in high-risk environments like coastal Florida. His firm is involved in everything from new construction to complex structural evaluations, and a big part of his work is fixing problems that could have been avoided with better planning and clearer communication upfront. A lot of people think engineering is just drawings and calculations. In reality, it’s about managing risk, protecting major investments, and making sure a structure performs the way it’s supposed to for decades. When engineering is done right, nobody notices. When it’s done wrong, it can cost serious money. We talk about what engineers really do behind the scenes, the most common mistakes Daniel sees on jobsites, how engineering decisions directly affect cost and construction timelines, and what builders and homeowners need to understand before the first shovel ever hits the ground. This is a conversation every builder and homeowner should hear before starting a project.

    292. Selling Without A Realtor, Why This Scares the Real Estate Industry - With Tim Street Owner of Foolproof FSBO

    In this episode of The Real Build, I sat down with Tim Street, the owner of Foolproof FSBO, to talk about how he’s challenging and redefining the real estate industry. Tim is on a mission to educate homeowners and give them the tools to protect themselves when buying or selling a home. We talked about why so many people lose money in real estate without realizing it, the misconceptions around selling without an agent, and what homeowners need to understand before they ever put a sign in the yard. This conversation digs into transparency, education, and why questioning the status quo makes a lot of people uncomfortable. Whether you’re a homeowner, investor, or just someone who wants to better understand how real estate actually works, this is an episode that will make you think.

    291. The Real Build Team: What Makes or Breaks a Custom Home Jobsite - With Mason Blosser

    In this episode of The Real Build, I sat down again with my superintendent Mason Blosser to talk about what actually makes or breaks a custom home jobsite and why so many projects go sideways. We got into execution and the mindset of not letting the jobsite control you, but instead controlling the jobsite. We talked about the importance of strong interaction between the client and the field, holding the Reiman standard on every project, and why consistent meetings with contractors are critical to keeping everyone aligned. A lot of builders fail at good management, not because they don’t care, but because they don’t have the proper systems in place. When there’s no structure, small issues turn into big problems fast. This episode pulls back the curtain on what really happens in the field and why discipline, communication, and leadership matter more than excuses.

    290. Building the “Uber of Lawn Care” From the Ground Up - With Bryan Clayton Owner GreePal

    In this episode of The Real Build, I sat down with Bryan Clayton, co-founder of GreenPal, a platform often compared to the Uber for lawn care. But before GreenPal, Bryan spent years running a traditional landscaping business. He was in the field every day dealing with crews, customers, weather, margins, and all the chaos that comes with service work. What really pushed Bryan to start GreenPal was being fed up with bad landscapers dragging the industry down. No-shows, poor communication, and unreliable service were hurting good operators and frustrating homeowners. Instead of walking away from the problem, he decided to solve it. Today, GreenPal has helped generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for lawn care professionals across the country. But the most interesting part of Bryan’s story isn’t just the company, it’s how he built it. Bootstrapped. No shortcuts. A lot of hard lessons learned along the way. We talked about building from the ground up, mistakes that almost killed the business, and what service-based entrepreneurs can learn from solving real problems in their industry. If you run a service business, hiring a lawn care company, or are thinking about building something that actually makes an industry better, this is an episode worth listening to.

    289. The Real Build Team: How Your Upbringing Has Affected The Way You Do Business - With Elizabeth Reiman

    In this episode of The Real Build, my wife Liz and I sit down for a personal conversation about how my upbringing shaped who I am today. We talk about growing up with my dad, always trying to earn his approval and make him proud, and how that drive followed me into adulthood. A lot of who I am today, both the good and the hard lessons, came from that season of my life. What once felt like pressure has become fuel. I’ve learned how to channel it into leadership, discipline, and building something meaningful. That drive is a big part of why I continue to push forward and why we’re committed to growing R.K. Reiman Construction into the premier luxury home builder in the state of Florida. This episode is about understanding where your drive comes from, learning how to use it the right way, and turning your past into purpose.

    288. The Real Build Local: Integrity Over Time: Longevity In Real Estate - With Scott and Stan Whitcomb Of The Whitcomb Group

    In this episode of The Real Build, I sat down with Scott and Stan Whitcomb of The Whitcomb Group to talk about real estate, leadership, and building a company the right way. We got into how they’ve grown a successful real estate business by focusing on relationships, trust, and consistency, not just transactions. Scott and Stan shared what it’s like working together, how they stay aligned as leaders, and what it takes to build a strong team and culture that lasts. This wasn’t about hype or shortcuts. It was a real conversation about doing good work, serving people well, and building something you’re proud of. If you’re in real estate, running a business, or trying to grow without losing your values, this episode is worth a listen. Full episode available now on YouTube and all podcast platforms.

    287. Faith Over Fear: Leading a Business with Conviction - With Jackson Lahmeyer Lead Pastor of Sheridan Christian Center

    In this episode of The Real Build, I sat down with Jackson Lahmeyer to talk about faith, leadership, and what it looks like to build a business without letting fear drive your decisions. Jackson is a pastor, the founder of Pastors for Trump, and someone who has been willing to stand firm in his beliefs even when it brings opposition. He’s also been involved at the national level through the White House Faith Council, but this conversation wasn’t about titles. It was about conviction and how faith shows up in the way you lead. We talked about how when you run a business with faith, people know it. Not because you talk about it, but because of how you operate. We discussed leading from faith instead of fear, trusting the sound mind God gave you, and remembering that what we manage does not ultimately belong to us. We also talked about the importance of being intentional, because without intention you end up drifting. We touched on opposition, criticism, and pressure, and why staying grounded matters when those moments come. The righteous may fall seven times, but they get back up, and that mindset applies just as much to business and leadership as it does to faith. If you’re a business owner or leader trying to build something with purpose and conviction, this conversation is about staying rooted, leading well, and not losing yourself along the way.
