016 - Today we celebrate the art of reinvention.   Joining me is Los Angeles-based general contractor and the Founder of Dirty Girl Construction Joan Barton.  Joan found a way to combine her innate artistic skills and knowledge of math and sciences  into a career that has elevated home building to an art form.   Listen in to hear how she made the pivot, the latest design trends, home value enhancement, the impact of climate change on home building, and sustainability. 

You can check out Joan's article on eco friendly building practices at Remodelista.
