About the Podcast
Welcome to Builder Stories, the podcast where builders, remodelers, and contractors share their personal and business journeys.
Many small to mid-sized construction businesses are great at their trades but not always equally business savvy. Come learn from the stories of successful entrepreneurs who share how they got started, how they found success, and the lessons learned along the way.
Meet Your Host, Eric Fortenberry
Eric is a voice and leader in the construction industry delivering education and technology solutions that are helping thousands of businesses grow and scale. He is the Founder and CEO of JobTread Software, a construction estimating and project management platform that has helped thousands of builders and contractors sell and manage over $1 billion in construction jobs. Prior to JobTread, he successfully built two other businesses, one in software and one in construction.
Eric’s goal for the Builder Stories Podcast is to contribute education to the industry by sharing success stories that can help construction leaders learn and develop their businesses.
