American Builders - Presented by TradeGuard
American Builders is the podcast where the backbone of the country—the contractors, tradesmen, and builders who actually make things—tell their stories.
Presented by TradeGuard, the AI-powered insurance agency built for the trades, the show goes deep with founders who are building America one project at a time. Each episode breaks down how real operators think: the grind of winning bids, managing crews, navigating risk, scaling a business, and everything in between. No fluff. No corporate jargon. Just the truth about what it takes to build something that lasts.
Whether you run a $2M shop or a $200M operation, this is where you’ll learn from the people who’ve already walked the path—what worked, what didn’t, and what the next generation of builders needs to know.
American Builders is for the entrepreneurs keeping America running. And we’re here to tell their stories.
