1KHO 518: From Backyard Builds to Confidence-Building Lessons | Keith Phillips, Heartland Bunkies

What if your family could build more than just a cabin—what if you could build confidence, competence, and connection all at once? In this compelling conversation, Keith Phillips from Heartland Bunkies joins Ginny Yurich to explore how the humble “bunkie”—a Canadian-style mini cabin—offers far more than extra space. Together they uncover how hands-on, meaningful projects like building a bunkie can ignite creativity, combat consumerism, and restore the family unit through shared purpose and physical work. Keith shares stories from his own family of eight, Airbnb adventures, and the unexpected magic of empowering kids to do real, valuable things. Whether you're craving a new family project, considering an off-grid rental, or simply longing for a way to slow down and reconnect, this episode is full of inspiration and practical ideas. Learn how bunkies are being used as homeschool rooms, podcast studios, guest houses, and more—and how they can transform not just your property, but your priorities.
