   Business Opportunities vs. Shiny Objects: When to Start, Buy, or Stay Focused

   Every entrepreneur has new business ideas. But how do you know when an opportunity is worth pursuing—or when it's just another shiny object distracting you from what's already working? In this episode of the Relentless Growth Podcast, Chase Calhoun and Jack Maher discuss the challenges of growing multiple businesses, staying focused, and knowing when to expand. Both Chase and Jack have built businesses in real estate development, construction, and property management. Along the way, they've explored opportunities in HVAC, landscaping, building supplies, and other service industries. But does owning multiple businesses create more opportunity, or does it spread your time, money, and attention too thin? They also dive into the growing trend of buying existing businesses versus starting from scratch—and why acquiring a profitable company isn't always as easy as it looks. In this episode, we cover: How to tell the difference between a real business opportunity and a shiny object When it makes sense to start another business versus focusing on your core business Why solving real problems can lead to the best business opportunities The advantages and disadvantages of buying a business versus starting one How vertical integration can create efficiencies in construction and real estate Why employees, leadership, and systems are critical when acquiring a business How diversification can help stabilize revenue during economic downturns Why your personal goals should determine the type and size of business you build Whether you're considering starting your first business, buying an established company, or expanding into multiple industries, this conversation offers practical lessons from two entrepreneurs actively navigating those decisions. The biggest takeaway? Not every good business idea is a good opportunity for you. The key is knowing what you're trying to build, validating the opportunity, and making sure you have the resources to execute.

   The Construction Labor Shortage: How It's Impacting Real Estate & Hiring

   The construction industry is facing a labor shortage, but at the same time, qualified candidates are struggling to find jobs. What's happening in today's labor market, and what does it mean for business owners, contractors, and real estate investors? In this episode of the Relentless Growth Podcast, Chase Calhoun and Jack Maher discuss the challenges they're experiencing in their construction and real estate businesses, from subcontractor shortages and project delays to new hiring opportunities created by a changing job market. Chase shares how labor shortages have turned foundation work that once took a couple of weeks into a six-week process. Meanwhile, Jack explains how immigration enforcement, retiring tradespeople, and competition for skilled workers are affecting construction costs and timelines across the country. But it's not all bad news. With AI reshaping white-collar jobs and more qualified candidates entering the job market, business owners may have opportunities to build stronger teams and prepare for future growth. In this episode, we cover: Why construction companies are struggling to find skilled labor even as residential construction slows. How immigration enforcement and labor shortages are affecting subcontractors, project timelines, and housing affordability. Why builders and investors should prepare for longer construction schedules and unexpected carrying costs. How to build relationships with multiple subcontractors before you need them. The impact of AI on white-collar jobs and future hiring opportunities. Why hiring for attitude, work ethic, and adaptability can be more valuable than experience alone. How trade schools and overseas talent can help businesses find qualified employees. Why investing in good employees during a slow market can position your business for long-term growth. Whether you're a real estate investor, construction business owner, entrepreneur, or someone navigating today's changing job market, this conversation offers practical insights on adapting, finding opportunities, and preparing for what's next.

   Build-to-Rent Investing: Why Single-Family Rentals Are the Future of Real Estate

   Is build-to-rent the future of real estate investing? As homeownership becomes more expensive and more Americans choose to rent longer, demand for single-family rental homes is creating new opportunities for real estate investors and developers. In this episode of the Relentless Growth Podcast, Chase Calhoun and Jack Maher break down the build-to-rent (BTR) investment strategy, why it's gaining popularity, and how investors can take advantage of the growing demand for new-construction rental properties. Chase shares how he went from renovating older homes to building his first two single-family rentals on infill lots, eventually expanding into larger build-to-rent developments. Jack shares his family's experience owning hundreds of single-family rentals and explains why he believes this segment of the housing market will continue growing. In this episode, we discuss: What build-to-rent investing is and how it works Why more Americans are choosing to rent instead of buy The advantages of new-construction rentals versus older investment properties How to get started with build-to-rent using individual infill lots Why smaller homes, townhomes, and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) could create new investment opportunities How garages, storage space, and thoughtful design can improve tenant retention The importance of lower maintenance costs and reduced tenant turnover How developers can structure projects to preserve multiple exit strategies Why smaller, local builders may have an advantage in emerging build-to-rent markets Whether you're an experienced real estate investor, a homebuilder, or someone looking to build your first rental property, this conversation offers practical insight into the opportunities and challenges of build-to-rent investing. The big takeaway: You don't need hundreds of acres or institutional capital to get started in build-to-rent. Sometimes the best opportunity begins with a single infill lot and a well-designed rental home.
