Matt Risinger is a premium home builder in Austin, Texas and host of “The Build Show” on YouTube. With over two decades of experience, he has established himself as a leading authority in the field.

Not long after setting up his own building company, Matt found himself buried in debt during the 2008 financial crisis. He has since become a passionate advocate for energy-efficient and sustainable building methods on a mission to build homes that stand the test of time. In our conversation, we talk about why more young people should consider the trades, why fatherhood is Matt’s favorite hobby, and how to survive a major construction project.
