    Welcome to The Awakened Homeowner — the podcast designed to empower homeowners just like you to confidently start your remodel or new home project! I’m Bill Reid, and I’m thrilled you’re here.

    If you’re listening, you’ve probably felt that gut-wrenching moment of asking yourself, ‘Where do I even start?’ Maybe you’ve heard the horror stories, or maybe you’ve been frozen by fear of the unknown. Well, I’m here to tell you — you are not alone. And even better? You’re in the right place.

    This show is about awakening — shifting from overwhelmed and confused, to educated, empowered, and in control. I’ll be your guide, mentor, and yes, maybe even your construction guardian angel, helping you navigate what can be one of the most exciting — and yes, enjoyable — journeys of your life. So let’s dive in!"*

    2. The Problem: “I Don’t Know What I Don’t Know”

    So let’s get real for a second — I hear it all the time: ‘I don’t know what I don’t know!’ Maybe you’ve even said those exact words.

    And you’re right! Most homeowners start by doing what seems logical — calling contractors, scrolling the internet for reviews, or running out to buy the ‘perfect’ granite slab. But here’s the thing: That’s not where you start. In fact, that’s one of the biggest mistakes you can make.

    The truth? Your first step is education and planning. Before you pick up the phone or tear down a wall, you need to understand what’s ahead and build a foundation of knowledge. That’s what this podcast — and this first episode — is all about."*
