The On-Site Podcast hosts Kari Mansur from Calgary, an educator in the community and founder of Stampede Sales, who helps local service businesses (contractors, roofers, plumbers, med spas, realtors, and others) get high-paying clients through Instagram by building a hyper-local brand. Kari explains a three-pillar system: running 30–60 second hyper-local Instagram ads within a 15–25 mile radius that drive follows to an optimized “digital storefront” (the Instagram profile), adding authority-building content (including process, video testimonials, and mistake-avoidance tips, plus highlights as objection handlers), and converting leads through a DM system using AI and eventually DM setters. He shares how his background in a Doha content/podcast studio showed that virality doesn’t reliably produce local revenue, leading to his current local-leads approach, and notes results such as a realtor closing six deals with $3K ad spend.

On the On Site Podcast, host Brandon interviews Nick Elliott, owner/project manager of Sun Builders, a general contracting and construction management company in Greater Cincinnati doing residential remodeling and commercial tenant fit-out work for small businesses. Nick shares personal background (married with two kids) and explains how his wife, a freelance graphic designer, created Sun Builders’ vibrant brand to differentiate from “millennial gray” styling. He discusses adopting JobTread after using QuickBooks to improve estimating and cost control. Nick recounts his construction path from HVAC summers with his uncle to welding, a construction management degree, an internship in Iowa, and five years at Messer Construction, then starting Sun Builders about a year ago. He outlines a long-term vision of a “mini Messer” targeting $5–$10M ground-up commercial builds (medical, nonprofit, office) with self-perform capabilities, and mentions current work including a deck estimate and a design-build cafe fit-out. Nick highlights proud experiences like rehabilitating the George Washington Bridge and healthcare renovations, reflects on learning humility early in his career, and thanks Brandon’s coaching and community support while sharing his Instagram handle @sun_builders__ and promoting Elite Builder Society membership.

On-Site Podcast episode 50 features Jacob, a renovation contractor from Rochester, Minnesota and owner of Inner Magic Kitchen and Bath, discussing his construction-family background, his faith journey that began around age 11 amid family addiction and abuse, and how it helped him build resilience. Jacob and his wife are expecting their first child, a baby girl, due at the end of July. He shares current work focused on bathroom remodels, plans to grow carefully before taking on larger projects, and how implementing JobTread and shifting to a sub model has helped, with subs and even an 82-year-old client adapting easily. Jacob describes a discouraging one-star review from a tenant that he later removed through Renew Local, and a first LLC project where he overreached on custom cabinetry but maintained the client relationship. The host promotes Jacob’s Instagram and the Elite Builder Society membership.
