Aris Papadopoulos is a 9/11 World Trade Center survivor, veteran of the construction industry, and global leader in disaster resilience. He is the founder of the Resilience Action Fund, author of Resilienomics, and producer of two eye-opening documentaries that challenge how we think about the homes and buildings we live in.
In today’s episode, Aris joins me to share the gripping story of the morning he narrowly escaped death and how that moment completely changed the course of his life and career in construction.
Aris explains the dangers of prioritizing cosmetics over resilience, and the costly mistakes that lead most homeowners to unknowingly live in vulnerable structures or make poor decisions during renovations.
We unpack the silent dangers that many homeowners overlook, the common mistakes people make when buying or upgrading a home, and what you can do to make smarter, safer choices. We also talk about overlooked warning signs, the real role of building codes, and what insurance companies know that most buyers don’t.
Join us to learn: how to avoid top home-buying mistakes, what insurance companies know (that homeowners don’t), and practical upgrades to protect your family, finances, and future.
