  • Running on EOS: Vision, Scorecards, and the Systems That Stick
    Oct 29 2026

    Are you spending so much time managing the day-to-day of your remodeling business that you rarely have a chance to focus on where you're actually taking it?

    This week, Kyle sits down with Victor Lebegue of VL Builders in Lakewood, Colorado, to talk about how implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) has helped him build a more organized business with a team that's working toward the same goals.

    Victor shares what he's learned from years of implementing EOS, including how his company uses scorecards to measure performance, why clearly defined core values matter, and how quarterly goals keep important improvements from getting pushed aside when business gets busy. He also shares specific metrics VL Builders tracks and why you don't need to implement every part of EOS at once to start seeing results.

    Kyle and Victor also discuss what happens when your business starts running smoothly enough that you can step back, work fewer hours, and actually enjoy the freedom you've worked so hard to create.

    Whether you're just starting to build your team or looking for more structure in an established company, this episode offers practical ideas you can start putting to work in your remodeling business.

  • ADHD and Your Business: How to Work With Your Brain, Not Against It
    Oct 22 2026

    Running a remodeling business requires a lot of focus, but what happens when your brain is constantly pulling you in different directions?

    This week, Kyle sits down with Skye Waterson, founder of Unconventional Organisation and host of the ADHD Skills Lab podcast, to talk about the unique challenges and strengths that come with being a business owner with ADHD.

    Skye shares practical strategies for managing distractions, figuring out what actually deserves your attention, and getting important work done when focusing doesn't come naturally. They also discuss why traditional productivity advice doesn't always work for people with ADHD and how hiring the right team members can help business owners stay organized without having to manage every detail themselves.

    Whether you have ADHD or simply struggle to stay focused with everything happening in your business, this conversation offers some fresh ideas for approaching your work in a way that makes sense for you.
