In this video, we break down why the Contractor Coalition Summit stands out from the rest. From a culture that welcomes you on day one to practical takeaways around AI, marketing, leadership, and team alignment, this isn’t just another “sit and listen” event.

How Community Changed My Construction Business
Contractor Coalition Summit Podcast
Construction used to be a solo sport. Keep your secrets. Beat the other guy. Figure it out yourself. That’s how Matthew grew up. Then he walked into Contractor Coalition.
In this conversation, Matthew from Cruise Development shares why he keeps coming back, how investing in himself changed the way he runs his business, and what happens when builders stop competing and start helping each other.
No fluff. No ego. Just real builders sharing what actually works. If you’re tired of doing this alone, this episode will hit home.
