In today’s episode of the Build Show Podcast, Matt is joined by master craftsman and builder Brent Hull in the studio. Together they take an honest look at “The Fallacy of Bigger and Better” — a candid conversation on ego, contentment, and what truly defines success in the building world. Drawing on more than three decades of experience each, Matt and Brent reflect on lessons learned, costly mistakes, and the value of growing “low and slow.” They share stories of chasing prestige projects, surviving recessions, and finding fulfillment in craftsmanship over scale. Whether you’re an emerging builder or seasoned pro, this episode offers rare insight into building a meaningful business without losing your purpose. From humility to mentorship, it’s a thoughtful reminder that bigger isn’t always better — and that contentment might just be the smartest business strategy of all.
