Epi 171: From Limiting Beliefs to Leading a Team

John Beshay sits down with brothers James Colbert (Director) and Luke Colbert (Site Manager/2IC) of Culbert Constructions. With 17 years in business, they share their journey from small renovations to specializing in high-end new builds and major renovations. The Culberts discuss how a genuine care for people drives their high standards, communication, and strong referral base. James opens up about overcoming the limiting beliefs of being a "chippy" to step into a leadership role. They also touch on recent learnings from joining TPB, including the need for targeted marketing even when busy and the importance of systemizing accountability through site meetings and follow-ups as the team grows. 🕒 Timestamped Key Points [01:04] 17 years in business: From small renos to high-end builds [01:28] Working together as brothers for 15 years [02:34] Driving force: Genuinely caring about people [03:14] How care shows up: Communication and high standards [04:57] Recent TPB learning: Need for targeted marketing [05:34] Recent TPB learning: Systemizing accountability [06:50] Project highlight: Unique parametric brickwork in Paddington [08:57] Biggest lesson: Overcoming limiting personal beliefs [10:43] Future goal: Grow the business and elevate the team [11:03] Wife involved and invested due to TPB   - Our construction business coaching has helped 2,500+ building companies succeed.
