Episode 164: Contractor Coalition Summit, Huntington Beach with Nick Schiffer of NS Builders & Morgan Moliltor of construction2style

In today’s special episode, we’re at the Contractor Coalition Summit in Huntington Beach, CA, an intimate four-day conference with AFT Construction, in collaboration with NS Builder and construction2style LLC.

Nick Schiffer is the founder of NS Builders, an award-winning construction company and general contractor based in Boston, MA. Morgan Moliltor, alongside her husband Jaime, are the husband-and-wife team behind construction2style LLC, a design + build, content creating team, and small media company based in Elk River, MN.

Listen in as Brad, Nick, and Morgan discuss how the Contractor Coalition Summit came to be. For them, this event provides a rare opportunity for general contractors nationwide to network and optimize their backend to run a more profitable business. They highlight the conference’s accessibility, compared to prestigious clubs such as the Builder 20.

As our co-hosts explain, the summit is a hub of education, collaboration, where contractors at every stage and size of business are able to share their perspectives and lessons learned with one another. It’s an opportunity to “ride along” with someone a year or two ahead of you rather than an industry veteran with decades under their belt.

All-in-all, the Contractor Coalition Summit offer a game-changing level of access, value, and camaraderie no general contractor should miss!

Key Quotes by Nick and Morgan:

• [At the summit,] the information is going to be provided. It’s up to me if I want to implement it or not. But, just being around the people in that intimate setting—when you have that close group, you have the opportunity to talk to every single person one-on-one. ~Nick

• I believe in my gut that we’re changing the industry as a whole. ~Morgan

• The best education is to ride along with someone right in front of you, rather than looking at someone that did it 50 years ago. There’s more value in chasing the person who’s done it a year or two ahead of you. ~Nick.
