From humble beginnings as an 11-year-old construction worker, Chris Pohl has built a thriving custom home business that exemplifies the American dream, creating something meaningful through hard work and integrity. Alongside business partner Brooke Muttsbauer, Chris has helped shape Divergent Homes into a standout player in Colorado’s competitive construction scene by focusing on what matters most: delivering exceptional client experiences. What sets Divergent Homes apart is their mission to shift the negative stereotype of the construction industry. Their reputation speaks volumes, with 90% of their business coming from referrals, a powerful endorsement of their craftsmanship and character.

Starting with property management and small remodels, the Divergent Homes team has steadily evolved to lead high-end luxury projects in prestigious Denver neighborhoods like Cherry Creek and Wash Park. Their philosophy remains consistent: adhere to every code, honor every commitment, and turn the construction process into a positive, even enjoyable experience. In conversation, Chris shares how emerging technologies like 360-degree lidar scanning are streamlining operations, saving “weeks per year” in planning. Even more compelling is their bold vision: to scale toward an eight- to nine-figure exit within two years without compromising the relationships and integrity that fueled their growth. Whether you're passionate about real estate, entrepreneurship, or witnessing a success story in motion, Chris and Brooke's journey is a masterclass in doing things the right way.

Andy Taylor's journey from the tax resolution industry to his role as a senior project manager at Red Rock Roofing is a story of pursuing purpose over mere profit. Although financially successful in his previous career, Andy longed for work that allowed him to sleep better at night, knowing he was genuinely helping others. Seven years ago, he began building his expertise from the ground up, canvassing neighborhoods, managing projects, and filing insurance claims. His growth mirrored the industry's evolution, particularly in navigating the complexities of insurance claims, which account for 80% of their storm-related work. "No insurance company is exactly the same... it's a game that you have to play every single day," Andy shares, reflecting on the adaptability required to succeed in the field.

One of the most unexpected yet impactful aspects of Andy's career shift was reconnecting with his faith through Red Rock's Christian-based company culture. This spiritual foundation has been a source of strength during high-pressure situations, reinforcing his commitment to serving Colorado homeowners with integrity. Andy also shares practical insights on productivity and work-life balance, emphasizing the importance of morning routines to boost energy and mental clarity. His candid advice about common insurance pitfalls, like high-percentage deductibles that can leave homeowners covering up to 75% of roof replacement costs—shows his dedication to customer education and protection. As Red Rock continues to expand its team and marketing efforts, Andy remains grateful for a career that aligns with his values, supporting both personal growth and community impact. Connect with Andy and Red Rock Roofing to experience their customer-focused approach, whether you're gearing up for storm season or recovering from damage.

Laura Armstrong’s journey from a three-time world champion martial artist to a wealth mastery expert is a testament to the power of discipline, community, and strategic thinking. With a diverse background spanning Filipino martial arts, holistic practices, and corporate trading, Laura brings a unique perspective to wealth-building. Her turning point came during a world championship in Manila, where she faced unexpected adversity—her coach abandoned the team right before the competition. Rather than giving up, Laura stepped up as a leader, rallying her teammates. The result? She finally captured the elusive gold medal, and eight of her twelve teammates did the same. This experience solidified her belief that real success rarely happens in isolation; it thrives in community and collective support.

This principle is now the cornerstone of Laura's Wealth Mastery Systems. She emphasizes that for most entrepreneurs, the missing link isn’t just strategy or tactics—it’s a support system that shatters self-imposed limits and redefines their relationship with money. Drawing parallels between martial arts and business, Laura teaches her clients the importance of breaking down complex components before rebuilding them stronger, much like perfecting forms in martial arts training. Her understanding of cultural nuances in money psychology adds another layer to her expertise, helping entrepreneurs navigate different markets effectively. For those starting their wealth-building journey, Laura recommends consistent income generation, meaningful spending, and values-driven business decisions. "Don't do stuff just to make money," she advises. "It’ll never last." Ready to take control of your financial future?
