Building With Purpose w/ Aaron Wyssmann - Building The Ozarks Ep. 1

On this episode of Building The Ozarks, Wyatt sits down with custom home builder and HBA board president Aaron Wysmann of Alair Homes to talk about what it really takes to build in the Ozarks today. From Aaron’s journey from high school math teacher to custom builder, to his heart for education and faith-driven purpose, this inaugural episode dives into the “why” behind the work, not just the bricks and lumber. They unpack the role of the Home Builders Association of Greater Springfield, why good information (and good relationships) matter more than ever, and how code changes, costs, and the revitalization of the trades are shaping homes in 2026 and beyond. Whether you’re dreaming about building, curious about the local market, or just love stories of people using their gifts to impact their community, this conversation is a grounded, Ozarks-first look at modern homebuilding
