Welcome to the Foraged Contractor Podcast — real talk for builders, tradesmen, and business owners shaping a life that matters as much as the work they do. We’re not just chasing growth; we’re redefining success through purpose, integrity, and the relationships that last longer than any project. Saying no isn’t negativity, it’s leadership. Every yes creates a hidden no somewhere else, stealing time, focus, or capacity. In this episode, we unpack how clarity and constraint fuel real growth. From defining your target to filtering every invite, product, and partnership by whether it moves you closer to it, this is how focus becomes a scaling tool. You’ll learn how to delegate on purpose, avoid the skill vacuum, and protect your team’s growth by letting go of the fun or familiar work. We talk about running your business at 90 percent capacity to guard margin for the moments that matter, family, crisis, or opportunity. No fluff. No filters. Just straight talk about what it takes to build a business and a life that actually mean something.
