What if I told you a 6-inch pipe mistake cost someone $1.2 MILLION…
or that a guy bought a commercial property for $200K and turned it into $2.4M?

In this episode of the Built for Wealth Podcast, we sit down with John Seaman—an investor, developer, and “dirt guy” who built a multi-million dollar business from scratch.

We break down:
- How he went from broke to building wealth through real estate & grading
- Why site work (dirt) is one of the most misunderstood (and profitable) industries
- The insane story of saving a $23M home from sliding off a mountain
- How he scaled using YouTube & social media (20–30K/month income)
- Why most contractors fail—and the one thing that separates winners
- Turning 68 rental homes into commercial deals
- The exact mindset behind finding GREAT deals (not just good ones)

If you're into real estate investing, entrepreneurship, construction, or building wealth from nothing—this episode is packed with real, raw game.
