In this episode, Kyle Hunt talks with Scott Collins of DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Lake Norman about his journey from a 25 year corporate career into launching a design build remodeling business with his wife. They discuss the realities of making the leap into entrepreneurship, the lessons Scott brought from corporate leadership, and how focusing on team empowerment, clear standards, and strong communication helps create a better experience for both employees and homeowners. Scott also shares how their goal is simple but powerful: take the chaos out of construction and replace it with a smoother, more thoughtful remodeling process for their clients.
