In this episode of Inspired Builders, Nick from O2 Constructions opens up about the real cost of learning business the hard way.

He shares his journey from a restless 14-year-old who couldn't fit the traditional system to building a sustainable construction company that's changing how Australia builds.

From losing over $100k on a single project due to poor contract management, to downsizing back to just three people and rebuilding from scratch, Nick reveals the brutal lessons that shaped his approach to business.

He discusses how a life-changing backpacking trip through India with his father sparked his passion for sustainability, why he believes in doing things right even when clients only see the bottom line, and how he's built a team of young tradespeople who share his vision for the industry's future.

Whether you're a builder, contractor, or entrepreneur facing setbacks, this conversation is packed with hard-won wisdom on resilience, building systems that actually work, and creating a business that serves something bigger than profit.
