Revisiting Layton Construction | Building a Business Through People, Not Projects
In this episode, Cheri and Jason revisit their conversation with Dave Layton, president of Layton Construction. Layton Construction was founded by Dave’s father and built on a family legacy of hard work, loyalty, and long-term thinking. Dave grew up on job sites and in vegetable gardens his dad affectionately called his "golf course," and he never once considered a different path. Dave’s story is one of a leader who has scaled his business through a relentless focus on people and what really matters to them.<br /><br />This conversation digs into what makes Layton Construction's culture so distinct: an employee-ownership model that has turned careers into real wealth. Dave has built this give-back philosophy and a leadership style by watching his father rather than by formal executive coaching. He also opens up about the emotional cost of running a business that never turns off, and how his company is investing in AI and data technology to modernize their industry. Whether you're building a company, a team, or a legacy, this conversation is a true example of what it means to invest in people for the long haul.<br /><b></b><br /><b>What You’ll Learn:</b><ul><li>How a family construction business learned to scale across multiple generations</li><li>Why a "team sport" mindset beats individual talent in the construction industry</li><li>How employee ownership can build real generational wealth</li><li>What it takes to retain top talent in a competitive industry</li><li>Leadership lessons passed down from a father, rather than a framework</li><li>How to lead a business through economic downturns and hardships</li><li>Why giving back builds a stronger company culture</li><li>How AI and tech are modernizing the construction industry</li><li>Why protecting personal time matters for busy business leaders</li><li>What counts as a true measure of success</li></ul><b><br />Connect with Layton Construction:</b><ul><li>Layton Construction Website: <a href="http://laytonconstruction.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">laytonconstruction.com</a></li><li>Layton Construction on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/laytonconstruct/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.instagram.com/laytonconstruct/</a></li><li>Layton Construction on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/laytonconstruction/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.linkedin.com/company/laytonconstruction/</a></li></ul><br />Want to Connect?<br /><br />Cheri@MWCN.org<br />jason.roberts@protiviti.com<br /><br />Meet the dedicated members of our podcast committee who curate content, organize interviews, and ensure the success of The MountainWest Capital Network Podcast “Welcome to the Winners’ Circle.” <br /><br />Cheri Waldron, MWCN Executive Director<br />Jason Roberts, MWCN President and Managing Director, Protiviti<br />Kevin Jessop, MWCN Podcast Vice-Chair and Chief Marketing Officer, IMA<br />Garit Lawson, MWCN Podcast Chair, Managing Director, Forbes Partners<br />Zachary Reed, MWCN Podcast Producer, Senior Associate, PwC LLP<br />Katie Brown, MWCN Business Operations Specialist<br />Amanda Wallman, Alpine Edge Marketing<br />The LaunchPod Media Team<br /><br /><i>The views expressed in this program are for informational purposes only and do not constitute investment advice.
