Quotable Moments from the Show

  • "Go get a job. Go pour a patio. Go build a pergola. Go get it done. And then you start to understand where all the things that you hadn't really thought about rear their ugly head." - Martin Holland
  • "Some things happen gradually. Don't try to speed through time and fast forward. Do it step by step." - Khalil Benalioulhaj
  • "If you're gonna go do that job, charge more than you probably think initially." - Khalil Benalioulhaj
  • "Don't wind up coming out the other end and not have learned anything." - Martin Holland
  • "You don't add any value. You add cost. Your customer either determines there's value there or not." - Martin Holland
