About this episode

Reece discusses the challenges of transitioning from builder to business leader with Chris Ehrenfeld.

Reece talks with Chris Ehrenfeld of Bold Companies and Bold Construction about the real risk behind growing a construction business, especially when a builder moves from doing the work to leading the company. Chris shares how he started framing houses to raise capital, built into luxury custom homes, learned from a fixed price contract hit by COVID cost spikes, and changed how he thinks about hiring, systems, and risk. https://www.chrisehrenfeld.com https://www.bold-life.com Show Notes: 00...
