For those of you not interested in Steve's anger, pass Go but do not collect $200. The rest of you sit back and listen to just how hard it is to be either a high performance architect or builder when much of the world around you:

• does not know what high performance means;
• does not understand that all good things take time;
• want the best of everything but is completely unwilling to pay for it.

Jake brings up the extremes regarding spray foam ("it solves everything and is bloody magical" or "it kills the planet and your clients").

It is not clear if this podcast episode either helped Steve with his anger or will help you with yours. Good luck...
