On this episode of Construction Champions Podcast Rob Baughman and Ron Nussbaum talk about handing the job off and the mindset it takes to work on this every day. How do we pull others up around us or let others pull us up?   Rob’s Bio “Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit…” are popular lyrics that sum up Rob Baughman’s beginnings in the early 1970s. The oldest of four children, Rob learned his work ethic early, watching his dad labor tirelessly as a handyman to support their family in the inner city. Rob joined the workforce at a young age, delivering papers before dawn everyday—sometimes in several feet of snow—striving to please his customers. At age 19, Rob married his high school sweetheart and moved to Tennessee where the couple raised four children before Taira contracted breast cancer in 2010. Rob took care of his wife and his children while working three jobs and going to school full-time to earn his business degree.  Taira graduated to Heaven in 2013. Drawing from his experience in construction, customer service and sales, Rob became a project manager for a Nashville-area contracting firm soon after marrying his new-found love, Joy. One high point of Rob’s career thus far has been his work on HGTV. Rob worked on multiple episodes of Listed Sisters, Property Brothers: Buying And Selling, as well as the Scott Brothers’ production, Making It Home (2021).   Rob’s Links https://remodel615.com/   #construction #constructionlife #constructionindustry #contech #roofer #builder #contractor #builders #contractors #podcast #constructionpodcast #fyp #constructionleadership #projectmanagement #management #leadership #constructionchampions #ronnussbaum #nuttnest #project10k

On this episode of Construction Champions Podcast Kolton Myers and Ron Nussbaum talk about building a 7-figure business from referrals! Kolton has mastered the action it takes and the follow-up needed to build high-level relationships with those in the industry and today he tells you what it takes.   Kolton’s Bio Born and raised in Arizona. I had a difficult time through school. Not academically. I was just a pissed off kid. I fought almost daily. How I was not kicked out of school is beyond me. My mom dipped out when I was about 7 or 8. My step dad adopted me. I say step dad but he was there since almost day one. I pushed a-lot of friends away with my anger and hate. But I learned from that and overcame all that BS. Graduated high school in 2011. In high school I worked at a car wash. Where shortly after graduating I was promoted to site manager. I quickly became bored with the car wash industry. I quit with no plan or back up job. I was hired on at a local remodeling company. Quickly learned that I didn’t like hanging drywall. So I put feelers out. My Aunts restoration company was seeking a helper. So in June 2012 I was hired. About 6 months into the industry I was thrown into a lead technician roll. Where I quickly had to learn the industry and quickly built my skills of problem solving. I quickly found a passion for the industry. hard working by nature, I rose to the top of my aunts company over the span of 10 years. October of 2021 some massive changes were up and coming that I didn’t want to be apart of. I had an opportunity fall in my lap. And that was to start my own restoration company. That’s where Diamondback Disaster Services was born. My aunt new my plan but her now Ex husband did not so as I planned my departure he found out what I was doing and rightfully let me go on the spot in December. He made it easy on me I wasn’t sure how I would have that conversation. I truly do appreciate everything I learned from him and that he introduced me to this amazing industry. January 2022 Luckily I had a few months of months of planning under my belt I had significantly reduced my personal overhead. Refinanced my house, sold my Rzr, used funds from refinance to pay off truck and other debts and put money in the bank. A great Friend of mine Eric owner of Eco roofing solutions gave me a sales job to help me out and give me something to do while I waited for my non compete to expire. June of 2022 we fully launched June-December we did 650k in revenue! 2023 I plan on hitting 1.5million! When I’m not taking care of clients and ensuring the highest quality possible. I enjoy personal development, out door activities sports with the kids, fishing, Off-roading, Pokémon battling and collecting with the kids, and playing and collecting Magic The Gathering for me.   Kolton’s Links https://instagram.com/thatrestorationguy?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://www.facebook.com/kolton.myers.7?mibextid=LQQJ4d https://www.facebook.com/DiamondbackDisasterServices?mibextid=LQQJ4d   #construction #constructionlife #constructionindustry #contech #roofer #builder #contractor #builders #contractors #podcast #constructionpodcast #fyp #constructionleadership #projectmanagement #management #leadership #constructionchampions #ronnussbaum #nuttnest #project10k

On this episode of Construction Champions Podcast Josh Huite and Ron Nussbaum talk about what the best version of yourself can really do for your life and company. We unpack and travel down a road many will not address when it comes to health and drinking in the construction industry.   Josh’s bio I’ve been in the trades for 30 years now. During my formative years as a tradesman, I was fortunate to have someone point me in the direction that not only changed my life, but it also changed my business. The impact those skills had, and still have, are just as valuable as the technical skills I acquired over my career. They allowed the company and team to advance forward in a saturated market where there was no standard. My drive and purpose now is to share those skills, strategies and lessons to improve the standard, perception and the appreciation of the men and women that build this country. Coming to you as someone that has worked out of a toolbelt most of his life, these principles I am sharing with you changed everything about me, my experience as a technician, my influence as a LEADER and added tremendous value to my clients.   Josh’s links https://www.thetradesmanexperience.com @thetradesmanexperience   #construction #constructionlife #constructionindustry #contech #roofer #builder #contractor #builders #contractors #podcast #constructionpodcast #fyp #constructionleadership #projectmanagement #management #leadership #constructionchampions #ronnussbaum #nuttnest #project10k
