Description

Ever notice how some builders weather the storms better than others?


Ed from Tasmania has been through it all - the quiet patches where work dried up, the sleepless nights worrying about keeping his team employed, the rejection from architects who didn't want to change their process, and the constant evolution of running a growing construction business.


But here's what makes his story different: his mindset of "everything always works out" isn't just a feel-good saying. It's a practical philosophy that's helped him navigate every challenge while building a successful construction company specialising in high-performance homes.


In this episode, Ed opens up about:


- Becoming a dad twice and how it shifted his perspective on business and life

- Walking away from a business degree to become a carpenter (then finishing it during his apprenticeship)

- The moment his pipeline emptied and how he fought to keep his team together

- Why he started calling architects directly (and the doors that got closed in his face)

- How transparent communication became his competitive advantage

- Building a support network that actually helps when things get tough

- Why knowledge really is power (and where to seek it)

- The shift to passive house training and high-performance building

- What traveling the world taught him about perspective and gratitude
