441 :: Air Raid QB Legend and Custom Home Builder Dustin DeWald

In episode 441, Dustin DeWald joins the show to talk leadership—on the gridiron (leading Iowa Wesleyan in the early 90s, he threw for 12,045 yards and 115 touchdowns) and in homebuilding (leading Dustin DeWald Custom Homes since 1992). DeWald is a custom home builder in Copperas Cove, Texas, the birthplace of the innovative Air Raid offense developed by Hal Mumme that changed the game of football at every level. Dustin shares leadership lessons he learned from coaching legends Hal Mumme and Mike Leach—from the Texas hill country to the cornfields of Iowa—and how he's applied those principles in building his successful multi-generational luxury home building business. You'll discover how Dustin's focus on simplicity, energy efficiency, and delighting customers has set his company apart.
