In this pod, I’m sharing a bit of a signal on construction labor. It's not what you might think, it’s not about the labor market and data.

This story isn't just about my friend Mark. It’s about new creative human capital opportunities.

Tim and Carolina discuss the many upcoming points of interest coming in the following episodes by bringing contrarian viewpoints and thinking differently than before to build perspectives. 

• Sustainable growth in the building product space. Adoption curve alignment is important to ensure pricing power is more balanced. 
• Reminder: Do not panic - Make progress, expand and make way for the better, and success will come. 
• Modes of going to market, construction, and what is the secret of the universe. 
• Influencer and creator economy in the builder space. 
• We will highlight building industry news at the beginning of each episode.
• How to use keyword research to have more effective conversations with customers.
• Using titles to get people’s appointments and referrals. 
• How to use targeting, positioning, and strategy, to ensure you call on the right people.
• Getting people to understand the process of what developers go through to underwrite deals.
