  I sat down with residential builders Wayne Preston and Matthew Auld for a raw conversation on mental health in the building industry and what business coaching for builders actually looks like behind the scenes.

  EP 178: Why Business Owners Sabotage Themselves Part 2

  Sep 21, 202623 minS1

  Most business owners aren't lazy or lost, they're sabotaging themselves without realising it. In this episode, Mick Hawes talks with entrepreneur Kassidy Warren about the real difference between purpose and distraction, why business owners create chaos instead of focus, and why he spent $35,000 to join a community and became a hotel owner within six weeks because of it..

  EP 178: How a $35 Airbnb Turned Into a $13M Portfolio Part 1

  Sep 14, 202647 minS1

  He started with one spare bedroom renting for $35 a night, and turned it into a $13 million short-term rental portfolio. In this episode I sit down with real estate investor Kassidy Warren to talk about how he actually did it, and what it cost him along the way. We get into the discipline it takes to build something that big, why so many of us let our business become a prison instead of the freedom machine it's meant to be, and how setting boundaries as a leader will earn you more respect, not less. If you're a builder who feels like you're always on, always putting out fires, this one will hit home.
