About this episode

Bill Reiman did not inherit RK Reiman Construction.  He earned it, over roughly twenty years, and he and his brother onlybecame owners three years ago.  In this episode he walks through the whole arc: growing up in his father's concrete yard outside Chicago, the family's move to Southwest Florida in 1995, the years as an underpaid laborer, the one conversation with his dad that redirected his entire life, and what it takes to run a luxury home building company, a realestate practice with SERHANT, a property management business, a media operation, and a podcast at the same time.He also makes a case against the way most people talk about work-life balance, explains why being too honest has cost him listings, and tells the story of the out-of-state superintendent who found the company through the podcast.  In the last stretch the roles reverse and Bill gives some direct advice on when to stop doing your own media and start paying someone else to.
