Boise builder and multi-business operator Tyler Hess sits down with host Kam Wheeler to unpack two decades of building things that last—gyms, home-organization brands, training facilities, and entire neighborhoods. We trace his path from concrete coatings to vertically integrated ventures: co-founding Idaho Fitness Factory (later acquired by Alturas Business Partners), scaling Silverline Systems / Inspired Closets Boise, launching Sawtooth Sports Training, and now developing subdivisions across Canyon County through Hess Properties. We get into vision, deal flow, hiring, letting go (of a company you built), and why “country-living” communities are hot in the Treasure Valley
