Dan Flansburg with Flansburg Construction, LLC hires for attitude first and foremost.

That philosophy drove his growth from 2011 to today. Along the way he stopped treating marketing as an expense and hired a real web team, an SEO company, and a professional photographer. Three years ago he added video, and he now calls it the biggest change his company has made.

Dan also shares the two outside programs that helped him scale his operations.

Tyler Hunsberger with Hunsberger Builders doesn't ask potential clients to take his word for how much value a remodel will add to their home.

He references the Cost vs. Value study, a nationally syndicated report, and pulls the numbers for his specific market. The homeowner gets independent data on what projects like theirs run locally, and can feel more confident making a choice.

Tyler is a fourth-generation contractor, and NARI Contractor of the Year winner. He has worked for nearly 15 years on the sales and design side of remodeling.

The beauty shot is the easy part.

Mike Coffey has more than 120,000 Instagram followers, and he'll tell you the finished photo isn't what wins him work. The process is. The schedule, the problem that showed up on day three, the reason a detail got built the way it did. That's the part people remember when it's time to hire someone.

On this Builder Stories episode he explains why contractors who only post finished jobs are leaving their best content on the floor.

150 episodes of Builder Stories. 🎉

150 conversations with contractors who were willing to share what it takes to run a construction business. We picked a great episode for the milestone.

Kelly Kirk took over Greymark Design + Build a few weeks after her mother passed away. Leslie King founded the company and was a larger than life leader in this industry. Kelly honored that legacy while also building her own way of running the business.

Kelly shares insights on leadership, the one email that changed how her team saw her, and how she plans for the future without losing focus on the current month.

Thank you to every guest and every listener who got us here. On to the next 150!
