Custom Built
Home renovations are stressful enough on their own, but when you throw in the challenges of everyday life, it can feel downright overwhelming. That’s where your host, Katie GO, comes in. She’s here to guide you through the renovation process and inspire you to take control, creating not just the home but the life of your wildest dreams.
Custom Built
The Company You Build
In this episode of Custom Built, we’re talking about something that shapes every project—and every part of life: who you surround yourself with. From trades and business partners to clients, friends, and even the media you consume, your circle is a mirror of your standards. I share how I evaluate alignment (communication, problem-solving, growth mindset), why I avoid “that’s impossible” energy, and how choosing forward-thinking collaborators leads to better builds, fewer headaches, and happier homeowners.
We’ll dig into how to spot the right trades (solution-oriented vs. blame-driven), set expectations rooted in respect and reliability, and protect your time and energy so you can show up consistently—for your business, your clients, and your family. I’ll also share the reflective questions I use to audit my own circle: Who energizes me? Who drains me? And where do I need to raise the bar?
If you’re ready to build with intention—from your team to your timelines—this episode will help you choose partners who elevate the process and the finished product.
