#265 Cameron from Custom Development Group on his own and building a solid brand

Cam from Custom Development Group joins us on this episode of The Construction Life Podcast. He talks about starting his business in the depths of the pandemic, and his approach to the learning the trades. We discuss the age old topic of the younger generation versus the older generation of tradespeople, and the evolution of teaching. After a brief conversation about diesel prices and electric cars in Canadian winters, Cam shares his experience renovating his own home as a GC. The back end of the show breaks down self-employment versus entrepreneurship, trends in custom construction, and how to sell the importance of what's behind the wall to clients. If you’ve ever wanted to know what Manny would put in your bathroom, this is the show for you.
