In this episode of *Connections That Matter*, Andrew sits down with Timothy Lee, owner of Integrity Construction, to talk about what networking looks like for trades professionals—and why “giving” is often the fastest path to building trust, partnerships, and long-term opportunity. Tim shares the unexpected origin story of his business, including a real-world connection made in a NAPA parking lot that helped shape his approach to building relationships.
They also dig into what “integrity” means when you’re working inside someone’s home, how customer experience can make or break a construction business, and why systems are the difference between being busy and building something sustainable.
