104.Building The Honest Builder: Decreasing the Pain in the Construction Trades
About this episode
Craig Eubanks interviews Kevin Hohe about the construction industry and the launch of The Honest Builder, focusing on mentorship and the challenges faced by tradespeople.
In this episode of Fence Guy Podcast , Craig sits down with first-time guest Kevin Hohe, a 36-year-old third-generation fence contractor who helped scale a family business from $4 million to a budgeted $90 million . Kevin unloads 10 years of raw, unfiltered takes on the construction industry, explaining why he believes traditional college routes are often a waste for tradespeople and how private equity is cannibalizing beloved family legacies . Craig and Kevin dive deep into the launch of The Honest Builder —a decentralized, self-run community designed to bring high-level EOS coaching and mentorship to the most vulnerable solopreneurs and "last hammers" on the job site . They also tackle the massive skills gap, the toxic contracts written by general contractor "litigators," and why it's time for subcontractors to know their worth and charge more . If you are a contractor, builder, or small business owner trying to escape a low-paying rut and find joy in your art again, this episode is your blueprint .
