Listen " The 2-Minute Warning: How to Finish 2025 Strong & Prep for a Big 2026 "
Episode Synopsis
2025 is almost over — and in building materials and construction, the 4th quarter is the 2-minute warning.
In this episode of The Platinum Business Break, Dan Owens (aka The Fixer) breaks down:
✅ Where the industry scoreboard really stands (housing starts down 11% YoY, permits down 11%, spending down 2.2% YTD) ✅ The impact of tariffs, rising input costs, and possible interest rate cuts ✅ What companies can do in Q4 to close strong (pipeline audits, smart discounts, CRM adoption, sales training) ✅ Why 2026 could be your best year yet — if you start preparing now
Housing starts down. Material costs up. ️ The question is — will you wait, or will you move?
Do not let 2026 sneak up on you. The time to set the stage is right now.
