Fitness, Family and the power of Relationships are keeping Nic Judie at the top of the game in tough times
Description
Join me on Stories Behind the Door for an inside look at the self-storage construction business with Nick Judie, Vice President of Martin Commercial. In this episode, Nick shares his fascinating journey into an industry he never planned to join.
Nick explains how a downturn in the Houston office market led his general contracting firm to pivot to self-storage in 2014. He discusses the significant shift in the GC's role from hands-on builder to a manager of projects and relationships, emphasizing that he is "almost 100% subbed out" . Nick stresses that a GC's success is entirely dependent on its subcontractors, making strong relationships "everything"
He provides a candid look at the financial realities of commercial construction, explaining how project delays, which he says you can almost always expect, are the biggest killer. On a more personal note, Nick shares the incredible story of how he met his wife in college and his dedication to fitness, a discipline he uses to stay balanced and calm amidst the daily chaos of his job.
This conversation is a testament to Nick's "smooth jazz" demeanor and his philosophy that what matters most is what's behind the business: family and personal well-being
