Everett Andrews is a lifelong craftsman. In grade school, he helped his grandfather, an  architect and building inspector, build a working gristmill. High school days were  focused on learning the basics of cabinetmaking.  A strong work ethic developed as  logging, landscaping, and timber-framing jobs filled the days following school. While  building furniture, turning wood, and learning about building science, a love for working  with his hands grew into a full time vocation.The next ten years were spent building and remodeling many fine homes and  commercial properties in the Blackstone valley. As interests shifted, and his family grew, Everett moved into furniture making at a local  shop and then architectural millwork at a growing Worcester based company. As the  company grew, as did his skills and responsibilities. Problem solving and  communication skills were developed through more complex and detailed projects. He  became the site supervisor and project manager customers sought out for their high-endresidential and commercial projects from Maine to New Jersey, and Cape Cod to  Vermont. In 2012, EA Custom Millwork was established, opening the latest chapter in Everett’s  career. He endeavors to provide every customer with an enjoyable experience by  personally overseeing all aspects of the project at hand.  When he is not making sawdust or working with clients, Everett can be found spending  time with his grown children, hiking, flyfishing, and sailing the coast of New England. Fred Gutierrez is the host of "Home Owner's Institute" , podcast, and runs the company ShepherdPMC with his partner Mike McHugh.

In this episode I talk with Rebecca Snelling. I wanted to avoid talking about Lean Construction, but our shared passion for the ideas, principals and concepts of Lean were too strong. This is Part 1 of a two part conversation. In the end we reference Lean Construction often, so I will add a third part of our conversation where we go in more depth explaining the principals or Lean.

Dan and Haven share with us their experiences with building. Starting with a minor basement and porch renovation of a summer retreat to a modern kitchen and entry renovation, then culminating in their current project building a new home on raw land on Marta's Vineyard. Their very different childhood experiences were less about nostalgia but rather structured their desire for security and shelter. Elements they longed for in the house they will call home. They talk about finding comfort and opportunity in constraints and how they build a team they trust.

Rebecca knows fear. As a biologist and stress expert, Dr. Rebecca Heiss is dedicated to helping us become self-aware and overcome our instinctual limitations – the ancient, often subconscious fears that hold us back from our optimal performance and our happiest lives. Her research has been designated “transformative” by the National Science Foundation and it is waking up audiences around the world. As an author (Instinct, April 2021), founder and CEO of the 360-review mobile application, icueity, and highly sought-after professional speaker, Rebecca has found her calling in helping others recognize the power of biological applications in their lives. A former educator, Dr. Heiss spent much of her earlier career in the classroom at both the high school and college levels and was recruited to be a founding member of an innovative charter school with a focus on entrepreneurial thinking and impact-based learning. Rebecca has been honored to speak internationally on her work, including multiple TEDx talks. Her “fear(less)” message inspires hope and actionable insights to train our brains to work for us, rather than against us in times of uncertainty. With surprising humor and palpable energy, no matter if Dr. Heiss is delivering virtually or on stage, she wins over audiences around the world with her interactive, inspiring and timely takeaways. She lives in South Carolina with her spoiled rotten dog named Guinness, and every day tries to live her life motto: “spread happy.” Fred Gutierrez is the host of "Home Owner's Institute" , podcast, and runs the company ShepherdPMC with his partner Mike McHugh.

We met Jan 10 years ago when she was the Vice President at Brenner Builders. During her 20 years at Brenner Builders, Jan was in charge of all construction activities where she successfully led over 45 projects ranging from $1 to $26 million in size.  With Jan and hundreds of talented craftspeople we renovated a historic home in Scarsdale NY. The owner on that project asked out team to carry a high level of respect towards the home and the people it was built by and for. This respect for one another elevated the work and the spirit of the home as a vessel for the family and community to grow.  Jan Corning is now a realtor in Upstate NY. In addition to helping families find their perfect home in the Finger Lakes region of NY, Jan Corning is the owner of Corning Management Services. CMS is proud to have worked with: Habitat for Humanity, Wayne County, and JG Franzese Enterprises. CMS has management experience in historic renovations in Waverly NY and the rebuilding of Capt. Bills at the south end of Seneca Lake.   If you would like to reach out to Jan, you can find her at https://jancorning.howardhanna.com/. In this episode we talk about the legacy of Jan’s childhood home and how it influenced the new home she built for the family she holds truly in her heart. Jan’s family includes her children, Matthew Corning of Brewster, NY, and Sarah Corning of Big Sky, Montana.   The family is enhanced by her husband’s children, Jesslyn, JL, Jill and David, as well as their children and grandchildren,  Haley, Chrissy, Zach, Rilyn and Levi of Mount Pleasant, SC and James, Jack, Allie and Sadie of South Salem, NY.  Fred Gutierrez is the host of "Home Owner's Institute" , podcast, and runs the company ShepherdPMC with his partner Mike McHugh.
