Summary
Mike Holmes Jr. and Ian MacFayden sit down with master builder Johnny Hourihan... not in a studio, not on a job site, but inside one of his finished multi-million dollar homes. What started as a casual walkthrough of Johnny's kitchen turned into a conversation too good to keep off the mic. No planned questions. No setup. Just three builders standing in a space that took years of skill and obsession to perfect, and a conversation that got real fast. Johnny opens up about what he'd do differently if he could go back - the hard lessons, the mistakes that cost him, and the standards he refuses to compromise on. They dig into project management, the Projekt Network, what separates contractors who make it from those who don't, and why this trade will eat you alive if you don't have the grit to match your ambition. This isn't a highlight reel. It's an unplanned, unfiltered conversation between builders who've bled for this industry, and it shows.
