This week, we're joined by Mike Smith from Wood Smith Building. Mike is a qualified Master Builder with over 20 years of experience in high-end architectural builds both in New Zealand and London. His leadership at Wood Smith Building emphasizes treating their team wisely and fostering long-lasting connections with clients and suppliers.

In this episode, Mike shares his insights on navigating the challenges of the building industry, particularly how to avoid getting 'burnt' on projects. He also discusses the experience of having doubts while pursuing your goals but the importance of persevering. We delve into the philosophy of fairly 'laying the cost' for your team, the value of cultivating long-lasting relationships with clients, and the strategic approach of hiring individuals to complement and address your weaknesses
