Standing Out in Ohio Podcast

Send us a text

What happens when two dedicated professionals decide to take on the adventure of building their dream home while juggling bustling careers? Join us on an exhilarating journey as Laura, the office goddess, and I, Jim, share our personal story of leaving Mechanicsburg after 22 years to create a new haven on 43 acres of serene woodland in Vinton County, Ohio. From the unexpected twists that led us to a revered builder, to the heartfelt decision of turning our camping getaway into a permanent abode, our narrative is infused with excitement, challenges, and the joy of new beginnings.
Balancing this massive personal project, we've kept our professional lives equally vibrant. Managing successful home inspection and sewer relining businesses, while launching our new venture, Heartland Commercial Property Inspections, has taught us invaluable lessons about preparation and staying ahead. As we navigate the chaos and thrill of relocating, we'll share insights on decluttering, smart planning, and standing out in the competitive business world. Grab a seat, tune in, and discover how life's adventures can harmoniously coexist with flourishing business endeavors.
