PROFESSIONAL BUILDER SECRETS PODCAST

Episode 212: Document, Delegate, and Grow With Jon Engquist

People want to tell themselves they don't have enough time, but I often find we make time for things we want to make time for

Professional Builders Secrets brings you an exclusive episode with Jon Engquist, third-generation contractor and Founder of Subtrak. Jon breaks down how to turn your company’s know-how into clear systems and live checklists your team actually follows, so you get consistency, accountability, and the freedom to grow without firefighting. 

Inside episode 212 you will discover

  • What a “system” really is
  • How to structure your business
  • Why so many builders get stuck in chaos mode
  • How strong SOPs help you train faster, cut rework and callbacks, and attract A-players
  • And much, much more.
