The slightly unhinged marketing podcast for homebuilders and beyond!
It’s bold. It’s unfiltered. And if you’re in marketing, sales, OSC, or leadership in the homebuilding industry (or beyond), this podcast will shake things up in the best way.
💡 This podcast is for the ones who know that marketing is more than “just making it pretty.” It’s for the strategic thinkers, the problem-solvers, the ones who are tired of surface-level conversations and are ready for real talk about what actually works. If you're a home builder, or around home building marketing, you're going to love this podcast!
Same Problem, Two Completely Different Brains with Sarah Haynes & Shari Morton
"We need more leads." "Our marketing isn't working." "The leads are bad." "Nobody uses our CRM."
Sound familiar?
Homebuilders run into these challenges all the time, but what if the problem you're trying to solve isn't actually the problem?
In this episode of Just Make It Pretty, Sarah Haynes and Shari Morton, partners at Shared Drive, take six common challenges homebuilders face and approach each one from two completely different perspectives.
Sarah looks at problems through marketing strategy, branding, messaging, buyer psychology, and customer experience. Shari looks through the lens of CRM, online sales, data, technology, processes, and operations.
They're answering one question: Where would you look first?
Neither gets to hear the other's answer before sharing her own.
From underperforming community launches and questionable lead quality to CRM adoption and the pressure to sell more homes in 90 days, Sarah and Shari explore why the most obvious solution isn't always the right one.
And sometimes, the most valuable thing you can do is bring someone into the conversation who sees the problem completely differently.

The Story Behind Fostering Hope with Chris Hartley
Chris Hartley has spent years bringing Life Lessons withDaddy to life.
On the surface, Fostering Hope is a children's book about kindness, empathy and helping children and families experiencing foster care.
But underneath it is a much more personal story aboutfatherhood, legacy, intentionality and the responsibility we have to teach children how to see and care about people whose lives may look very different from their own.
Rather than simply talking about what's in the book, thisconversation explores why Chris needed to create it in the first place, what the process demanded of him, and what he hopes his daughters and other children carry with them long after they've outgrown the book.
