Emil Frei: CEO at Berkeley Building Company
In our discussion with Emil an experience builder and construction professional we talk about construction but only marginally. We do however really dig into the mental aspects of your personality that can be both an asset and liability with managing a company. Additionally we cover the thoughts that can hold you back from ever starting out own your own.
I found this conversation to be personally helpful just talking through everything that goes through our heads all day and I think you’ll enjoy hearing an atypical construction story that you can learn from.
Enjoy the show!
