In this episode, we talk about what Jon Rufty has learned from 20+ years as a business owner and builder. How he got started and how he weathered the storms of the last couple of decades in the housing and construction market.

He has built some of the most expensive and beautiful homes in the Triangle and built a team of dedicated people that have made his company a staple in the Triangle.

Some of his secrets to success are:

• Hire people that are better than you.
• You have to put the company ahead of yourself because if the company is not successful you cannot protect your employees.
• Don't take on too much debt.

Jon shared his thoughts on what's exciting about living in the Triangle and what he believes some of our challenges in the future are going to be.
