What actually builds a great company – skill, systems… or people?
In this episode of the Built Different Podcast, Eric sits down with Senior Estimator Eric Kovach, who’s been with Tillman Builders for nearly two decades.
This isn’t just a conversation about business. It’s a real, behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to build a company culture that people stay for.
They dive into:
- The moment Eric almost quit—and what changed everything
- Why hiring the right people matters more than hiring the most skilled
- How leadership, trust, and vision shape company culture
- Turning conflict into strength through personality differences
- What it really looks like to grow inside a company over 17+ years
