In this episode of the Shinn Group’s Be the Builder of Choice™ Podcast, Emma Jane Wildermuth, President of Shinn Group, and Lake Coulson, Senior Vice President of Government Affairs and Chief Lobbyist for the at NAHB, team up for a thought-provoking discussion on the current political and operational challenges home builders face—and how to respond with both foresight and precision.
This conversation pulls back the curtain on what’s happening in Washington, D.C., the critical need for unified advocacy, and why even the most well-intentioned leaders risk slowing progress when execution doesn’t match ambition.
In This Episode:
• Why the biggest issue facing home builders isn’t policy—it’s lack of unity
• The danger of “visionary blindness” when strategic ideas aren’t paired with execution
• What to expect from the upcoming election cycle—and how it may impact the housing industry
• How NAHB is fighting for builders’ interests at the federal level
• Why local and state engagement may matter even more than national policies
