On this episode of The Curious Builder Podcast, Mark Williams chats with his good friend Vincent Longo about all things building, balancing work and family, and learning from the ones that got away (including a wild story where Vince literally got knocked to the ground by fate!). They swap stories about growing their businesses, keeping family first, and even throw in some fun ideas like gap years and house signing parties. To top it off, Vince gives us some live play-by-play while he bids—and hilariously loses—on a house during the podcast.
