How can you overcome common myths and misconceptions about startup failure?
Myths in today’s ecosystem are simply small baseless claims that have been copy and pasted. Sometimes by a fake guru. Failure is unavoidable, but taking risk from a stranger and someone who wants your click and engagement than your success? Thats not a business failure. That’s a personality flaw. Blaze your own way. Surround yourself with trusted individuals. Pour in an take out in proportions. Leave the myths to the Greeks. Your customer expects better.

How do you inspire active and responsible changemakers?
I think being of great impact is not setting out to be famous or overly popular . Seek no credit. Have a history of giving and generously leaning in. Be someone impressive by the least likely people. Stick to what you know. Dive deep into your area of genius. Spend time being curious and insanely passionate. Collaborate with others that match your energy and see what comes from it. Little by little, you look around and you are being sought out not by people wanting something from you but asking how they can help you. Be a part of what you are doing. Surprise people. Do things they don't expect. Places they didn't expect. Again, not for fame, but to show you walk the walk. Givers Gain. No has been able to prove me wrong yet.

These would be the 4600 strong Restoration Rebels (great name, often misunderstood. Contact me if you want to know)
We have many many disruptors coming on the scene. These disruptors have also exposed weaknesses in our education. Not formal education. But education in understanding what our “opposition” are doing and how we can better survive and thrive. Isn’t that all we desire?
We evolved into forming The Alliance of Independent Restorers. It’s unlike anything ever made. We call it a trade association, but it’s far more than that.
This article was written in light of the childishness and ego driven internet and social media environment caused multiple spinoffs of the Rebels.
There are also older and far more established organizations.
If we are to believe what is published, and I do, all have intentions to improve our industry and give some form of control back.
But....
These are all working separately and honestly simply talking. Lack of action only frustrates those who joined the charge and spent endless amounts of energy. No action and it becomes yet another example of “big dreams, crashed efforts”.
My article was a call for Unity. There have been some signs of that beginning to occur...especially outside my own groups. So hoping to capture that momentum and spirit of forward movement. AIR are involved with multiple conversations to Unity.
Was this from my article? Outwardly, maybe not.
But it likely helped me understand that the first step is often the hardest and I took it.
Expect a follow up article in the fall/ winter of 2019

The Pavement Network
Employee turnover is a major challenge every business faces, but paving and construction face a higher turnover rate than most industries. Retaining good employees is one of the best ways to keep your business profitable. One of our Pavement Network members, Rainier Asphalt & Concrete, has used a profit sharing plan to incentivize employees since 2017. According to Owner Tom Merry, the incentive plan has “definitely moved the needle with employee retention and engagement in profitability.” Read more ➡️ https://loom.ly/JRAyF7s #profitsharing #employeeretention #retentionandengagement #movetheneedle #asphalt

Swirnow Building Systems
Mint & Morehead Charlotte, NC Developer - Aspen Heights Partners GC - Samet Corporation Architect - dwell design studio, llc Engineer - Ehlert Bryan Engineering Consulting Installer - Baker Concrete Constructors "It was our first time working with the system and the Swirnow team stepped up to provide total project support which was invaluable to the Hambro installation and overall project success." - Drew Bardeleben Samet Corporation "Dwell Design Studio is proud of our successful collaboration with Swirnow Structures' pre-construction team, where exceptional teamwork has fueled the design process of this project. Together, we've crafted an exceptionally efficient high-rise structure, turning our design vision into reality. We eagerly anticipate future opportunities to collaborate." - Jose A. Perez, AIA, Principal Dwell Design Studio, LLC "This was our third building using Hambro on prefabricated light gauge metal studs and we are extremely pleased with the results. With continuously rising material costs, Swirnow Structures maintained a cost-effective solution which ultimately helped keep the structure on budget. We look forward to working with them on future buildings." - Jay Lynde Aspen Heights Partners _____________________ Mint and Morehead, located in downtown Charlotte, NC is a 17-story building with 12 stories of Hambro composite joists bearing on pre-fabricated light gauge metal stud panels (348,000 sq. ft.) over 5 stories of poured-in-place concrete parking. The Hambro floor system presents a cost-effective alternative to traditional poured-in-place concrete construction, offering significant advantages in both speed of installation and structural efficiency. By utilizing Hambro bearing on prefabricated metal studs, buildings can be closed in as they are erected, accelerating the overall construction schedule. This allowed the installer to deliver a full floor of approximately 28,000 sq. ft. every 9 days. The innovative "strip and go" forming system allows reusable plywood forms to be stripped just 24 hours after the concrete pour without requiring shoring, this enables subcontractors to commence their work immediately following the pour. Furthermore, the Hambro system provides a lighter weight structural solution, with only half the dead-load of traditional poured-in-place structures, reducing foundation requirements and overall construction costs. The superior fire ratings of the Hambro system can eliminate the need for fire dampers, while its high STC rating negates the need for additional additives such as Batt insulation, resilient channels, etc. These features collectively contribute to a more efficient, cost-effective, and faster construction process, making Hambro an optimal choice for a variety of project types.
