Further to this, Matt and Hamish are building a platform through the podcast to discuss mental health issues that arise in the building industry. The industry can be quite negative at times and there is a great deal of stigma around what it means to be a "tradie". Matt and Hamish are here to shine a light of positivity on the industry and share relatable topics that will help you in your own building or construction business.

<p><span class="ql-cursor"></span>When you think of developers, what are the descriptive words that come to mind?</p><p>For so many of us, developers are synonymous with greed and arrogance. It’s an unfortunate stereotype that the construction industry is rife with. </p><p>And although developers have earned this reputation, not all are created equal. There are some diamonds in the rough and Liam Wallis happens to be one of them. </p><p><br></p><p>Liam Wallis is the founder of HIP V. HYPE, a group that is revolutionising sustainable development in Australia. Their mission resonates powerfully: "to leave our cities and regions in a better condition than we found them."</p><p><br></p><p>For those interested in the future of sustainable development, this episode offers valuable insights into how thoughtful design and ethical business practices can transform our built environment. The full conversation explores detailed strategies for creating developments that serve both community needs and environmental goals.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>LINKS:</strong></p><p>Thanks to <a href="https://hipvhype.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hip Vs Hype</a> for having us</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with us on Instagram: </strong> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/themindfulbuilderpod/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@themindfulbuilderpod</a></p><p><strong>Connect with Hamish:</strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sanctumhomes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@sanctumhomes</a></p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.yoursanctum.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="http://www.yoursanctum.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.yoursanctum.com.au/</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with Matt: </strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/carlandconstructions/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@carlandconstructions</a></p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.carlandconstructions.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="http://www.carlandconstructions.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.carlandconstructions.com/</a></p>

<p>Let's face it—the stereotypical image of builders often conjures up thoughts of a rugged, all-male group clocking off early to down a few pints at the local pub. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with bonding over drinks, this old paradigm doesn't necessarily cater to everyone's needs in today's society. It’s an image that fails to encapsulate the diverse talents and ideas that can propel our industry forward. </p><p>Building a positive culture in the workplace is about more than just workplace perks; it's about creating an environment where everyone feels valued and motivated. Think about it: would you rather work in a place where every day feels like a chance to collaborate and grow, or a place where you’re just counting down the hours until the weekend?</p><p>Our conversation with Kaia left us feeling inspired about the future. Building culture is not a one-time effort but an ongoing journey that evolves with the people involved. We revisited the importance of learning from our past, as illustrated when Kaia shared his formative experiences at a Steiner school, which instilled in him the values of community and individual thinking.</p><p><br></p><p>Our takeaway? As we look to foster inclusivity and redefine what it means to "build," it’s crucial to listen and learn continually from those around us. Diversity goes beyond metrics; it’s about giving everyone a seat at the table. It's about creating an environment where every unique individual can thrive.</p><p><br></p><p>So, whether you’re just starting your career or you’ve walked the scaffold for decades, we encourage you to think deeply and live lightly. Let’s break the mold together and build an industry that reflects the diverse world we live in.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>LINKS:</strong></p><p>Thanks to <a href="https://hipvhype.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hip Vs Hype</a> for having us</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with us on Instagram: </strong> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/themindfulbuilderpod/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@themindfulbuilderpod</a></p><p><strong>Connect with Hamish:</strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sanctumhomes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@sanctumhomes</a></p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.yoursanctum.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="http://www.yoursanctum.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.yoursanctum.com.au/</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with Matt: </strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/carlandconstructions/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@carlandconstructions</a></p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.carlandconstructions.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="http://www.carlandconstructions.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.carlandconstructions.com/</a></p>

<p>Have you ever walked into a room that feels stuffy, oppressive even, and thought, "Something doesn't feel right in here"? </p><p>It's a sensation many of us experience but tend to dismiss. </p><p>What if we told you that sensation might not only be an inconvenience but a potential health risk? </p><p><br></p><p>Today we’re discussing air quality and ventilation, topics that are often overlooked in home construction and renovation projects. We're unpacking this critical subject with the help of Joel Seagren, the national MVHR Solutions Engineer at Fantech, who unravels the mysteries of airflow, air quality, and their importance in building homes.</p><p><br></p><p>This conversation with Joel gave us plenty to think about and a clear path forward—embracing the inevitable journey towards healthier, more sustainable living through proper ventilation. So next time you step inside your home, consider the air you're breathing. It matters more than you might think.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>LINKS:</strong></p><p>Thanks to <a href="https://hipvhype.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hip Vs Hype</a> for having us</p><p><a href="https://www.fantech.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fantech</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with us on Instagram: </strong> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/themindfulbuilderpod/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@themindfulbuilderpod</a></p><p><strong>Connect with Hamish:</strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sanctumhomes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@sanctumhomes</a></p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.yoursanctum.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="http://www.yoursanctum.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.yoursanctum.com.au/</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with Matt: </strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/carlandconstructions/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@carlandconstructions</a></p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.carlandconstructions.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="http://www.carlandconstructions.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.carlandconstructions.com/</a></p>
