Lessons Learned From the First Year of the Podcast

When I started the podcast, I didn’t set out to build an audience or create “content.” I wanted to create space for conversations that were already happening quietly, between builders, architects, designers, and owners - about what actually works, what doesn’t, and why so much of residential construction feels harder than it needs to be. A year in, what surprised me most wasn’t how informative or enjoyable those conversations were. It was how often I walked away from an episode and immediately opened my business journal. Nearly every conversation challenged me to think more deeply about the industry, the way we structure teams, how trust is built, and what kind of work I actually want to be doing. These aren’t lessons tied to individual episodes. They’re patterns, principles that showed up repeatedly, from different perspectives, across different conversations.

A Holiday Message From Fernhill: Gratitude, Humility, and the People Who Make It All Possible

As the holiday season approaches, I find myself doing what I try to do every year around this time—slow down for a moment. Not for work, not for deadlines, not for the next project waiting in pre-construction, but to simply take a breath and look around at everything we’ve been a part of this year. And what always comes into focus first isn’t the buildings. It’s the people. It’s easy in our industry to get lost in the schedules, the logistics, the budgets, and the details. But at the end of the day, our work isn’t just about structures—it’s about the humans who shape them, the clients who dream them, and the teams who bring them to life. That realization has been at the heart of Fernhill from the beginning, and this year, it feels more important than ever.
