The Market Slowed—Here’s How We Still Make Money
One of the Jobs of a Steady Leader? Constantly Thinking.
In this episode, I share a real-world example from my construction company, Mission Home Builders. Even when things are going well, steady leaders ask:
“What could stop us from growing?”
The market in Austin has shifted—luxury real estate is slowing, rates are high, and development carries risk. So we made a bold move: we pivoted. Why? To protect and grow our investors' returns.
Instead of being slowed down by the market, we asked, "Who makes money in a deal, no matter what? And how do we create that opportunity for our investors?"
This episode unpacks the mindset behind leadership pivots, thinking through bottlenecks, and always staying one step ahead.
Steady leaders solve real problems. Let’s dive in.
