KEY QUOTES FROM EPISODE
- I think our industry is dominated by limited goals. Most of the, from a builder standpoint, a builder will find this is the max capacity that we have. It’s six homes at any one time, or it’s two homes a year, whatever that is. And that’s the max, because they’re used to doing things same way they’ve always done them, and they wanna do them right. And that is a great, great goal to have, and it’s a great limited goal. But if, again, if we can prove to these people like some of the great innovators that have come before, is we can change your whole way of thinking. That, I believe, is where the ultimate success comes from.
- So we started focusing on the renderings, bringing in art, the guys that were better, they’re not architects that are doing these renders, they’re animators and they’re graphic artists.
- I’m about to see the West, specifically Montana, I see exploding far more than what we already have. I think we’ve just seen the tip of the iceberg.
