🎙️ Episode 21: Ben Volpe – Construction Law and Real Solutions, Scaling a Client-First Legal Practice
Now streaming on Behind The Home Build Podcast

If you're a builder, developer, contractor, or homeowner working in Colorado, this episode is a must-listen. We sit down with Ben Volpe, founder of Volpe Law, a Denver-based construction and real estate law firm that’s redefining what it means to be a true legal partner in today’s high-stakes building environment.

Ben’s journey is anything but traditional—from working night shifts as a campus police officer while earning a master’s degree in D.C., to becoming a federal investigator handling Homeland Security and DOJ cases, to launching his own law firm in the midst of the pandemic. Today, he leads a 9-person legal team known for helping builders and business owners solve problems, manage risk, and win disputes with practical, no-nonsense legal guidance.

In this episode, we cover:
🔹 The real reasons builders get pulled into costly litigation—and how to prevent it with clearer contracts
🔹 Why construction law in Colorado is evolving fast, and what the new defect reform law means for builders
🔹 How Volpe Law is giving Colorado contractors a smarter legal option through their Fractional General Counsel model—a monthly subscription that replaces “911” legal calls with ongoing, proactive protection
🔹 Behind-the-scenes stories about helping clients develop property, navigate zoning, and win tough real estate disputes
🔹 And how Ben scaled Volpe Law from “door law” in 2020 to a 7-figure, niche construction practice in just 3 years

Whether you're growing your construction business, navigating a dispute, or just want to avoid the legal landmines that come with every new project—this episode is packed with real value and straight talk from someone who’s walked the path and built something that works.

Episode 19: Shawn Curtis – From Strategic Drift to Execution That Holds: Designing Systems That Anchor Real Customer Value

What if your strategy wasn’t the problem—but your system for executing it was?

In this episode of Behind The Home Build, we talk with Shawn Curtis, founder of Curtis Connections Consulting and the creator of Execution Infrastructure for Humans™. With over two decades of experience leading large-scale transformations in both startups and global enterprises, Shawn shares how he helps leadership teams close the gap between strategy and execution—not with slide decks or one-off workshops, but with systems that actually hold under pressure.

Shawn introduces us to the frameworks behind his consulting work:
🔹 Clarity Lab – A structured diagnostic that surfaces the invisible friction stalling execution
🔹 System Build – Infrastructure that creates rhythm, role clarity, and accountability
🔹 Execution Boost – Reinforcement strategies that make change stick after week three
🔹 Clarity Activation – AI-enhanced tools that scale strategic thinking without adding headcount
🔹 Fractional Partnerships – Embedded executive support for staying focused in the swirl

We also dive into what he calls one of the greatest wastes in business: efficiently building a solution no one actually wants. Shawn walks us through how he helps organizations stay grounded in real customer value—ensuring that strategy isn’t just inspirational, but actionable and aligned with what truly matters.

You'll hear how he’s helped businesses:
✔️ Realign five acquired companies under a single operating brand
✔️ Lead operational readiness for a $2B joint venture
✔️ Help solo founders and executive teams stay in rhythm while scaling
✔️ Build sustainable clarity, confidence, and collaboration—at every level of the org chart

Whether you’re leading a team, building a business, or trying to push past hidden friction, this conversation offers practical wisdom on designing clarity systems, building trust, and making execution repeatable—without heroics.

Key Topics Covered:
• Why most strategies fail quietly
• How to uncover the real problems stalling your team
• Turning vision into systems that actually scale
• The role of psychology and structure in lasting transformation
• Designing operating systems that think with you (not just log your thinking)
