Business Live Show with Contractor Keith and Brad Smith | Construct your life #776

Welcome back to another Business Live Show! Today we go live with Brad Smith and Contractor Keith (36 years in the trades, 300+ homes built) for a candid teardown of Keith’s next chapter.

After a life-altering health crisis and a move to The Villages, he’s shifting from spec builds to systems, automations, and AI—launching Punchlist Media (Notion workspaces, n8n automations, custom LLM knowledge bases) and scoping a community + marketplace concept for AI builders and buyers.

We map his MVP, tame imposter syndrome, and design a business that optimizes for peace, purpose, and steady cash flow—not chaos.Key Highlights:- Why the pivot: How a major health scare, caregiver support, and a cross-country move clarified Keith’s decision to leave high-stress spec building for ops systems and AI.- Punchlist Media (v1): Notion as a relational database (not a spreadsheet), n8n for low-cost automations, and custom LLMs to turn SOPs into searchable knowledge.- “Strata” (working title): A community + marketplace for solo AI devs & small teams (think Shopify × Stack Overflow × Upwork × Gumroad) with code, gigs, and peer support.- Community before code: Build a free flagship Notion template, weekly build-in-public updates, live office hours, and a newsletter to validate before heavy software.- Imposter syndrome, solved: Your story is the brand. Ship value, show the process, and let people join the journey—credibility compounds in public.- Designing for life: Pick the game you want to play—Keith optimizes for sanity and cash flow, not a $100M exit. Systems + people = durable calm growth.- Selling the trades is hard: Contractors are skeptical; a smarter wedge is AI + operations for any small business—earn trust with utility, not hype.If today’s live breakdown helped, share it with a friend, drop a review, and join us Wednesdays at 2:30 PM ET on X & LinkedIn for the next live teardown.👉 Stop playing small, book a call!
