In this powerful episode, Nic Espanet sits down with Alex Gilmore, co-owner of CDR Construction & Roofing, to explore his journey from early struggles to entrepreneurial resilience. Alex opens up about overcoming addiction, supporting a brother through repeated battles with cancer, and navigating financial and legal chaos—all while building a successful construction company from scratch.
Listeners will hear how CDR Construction rose from the ashes of family and financial setbacks, why transparency and customer service are at the heart of their approach, and how Alex’s latest project—a contractor-focused app called Contractor Square—is aiming to build a safer, smarter community in the trades.
This episode is packed with real-world lessons for anyone in construction, entrepreneurship, or simply looking for inspiration to push forward when life gets hard.
