I sat down with Bill Rupert, President of RCS-CM LLC the leader for construction management and he shared the evolution of his company from inception in 2015 to present day. Bill has recently joined forces with Dave Hellman to form his company today. They both had different areas of passion in growing their businesses, that complimented each other, so it made sense to merge. He also share what that meant for his family. He shared his passion to be an example for his children as well as his staff. Bill wants to better others and serve them!

Bill shared insight about their means, methods, and way of communication that results in successful projects and impressed clients. We discussed challenges and decision-making within the company. Bill is a military guy and it is engrained in him to adapt and overcome, a mindset he uses in business. And you have to tune in to hear what the big Q3 announcement was!!

Hmm? The importance of marketing to attract talent rather than to attract clients? Yes! I talked to Ryan Kovach, fractional CMO, about how important marketing is to attract the right talent. With so many years of experience, Ryan only felt it appropriate to write a book to help others. This is no ordinary book, it’s meant to be a guide. You can skip around to the parts that pertain to the struggle you are currently having. We all joke that we’d like a manual to life. While Ryan can’t offer that he can offer a guide to marketing your business to the talent you want to attract. When you have the right talent in place, they will effectively take care of the client, close the sales, and naturally attract more clientele through referral. And when you do not need to stress about where the next client is coming from, you have the choice of which clients you want to work with too! Check out our conversation about the war over talent in the construction industry.

It’s so easy to let your identity to get lost your career. And also dangerous. Brandon Clements, Principal at FQF Advisors, joined me today and discussed how he moved forward from a lay off. And that afternoon in his car while he was hiding from his family so they didn’t see him at his lowest, this is when he got a call from someone in his network offering help, coaching, and a solution.

Brandon explained how he shifted his thinking to this actually being an opportunity. Brandon has always been a great connector of people because he connects for the sake of being able to bring value to them in the future. He does not network in a transactional way as what’s in it for him. And this community of people was Brandon’s saving grace in this period of his life. Don’t underestimate the power of your network!
